From Altrec Outdoors:
"Redesigned with loftier Climashield synthetic insulation, Sierra Designs' Wild Bill Sleeping bag is an ideal choice for backpackers and summer mountaineers who want technical performance at an affordable price. This 20F-rated synthetic bag has a lot of higher-end features like snag-free zipper tracks with glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls so you can work your way toward a swift exit even after lights out. Sierra Designs kept the versatile favorites intact like the stuffable pillow pocket and the chest pocket for watches, MP3 players and portable video games. Sierra Designs also updated the colors--a feature any guy can appreciate while staying in the more ritzy backcountry cabins and yurts. (Sarcasm? No way!) If you need a three-season bag for a range of adventures, the Wild Bill Sleeping Bag rustles up some comfort while leaving you with enough change to ride out of Dodge and into the sunset."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Sierra Designs Wild Bill Sleeping bag has been Sierra Designs most popular, and for good reason.Clima Shield insulation with 70-denier shell material makes for a warm and tough sleeping bag at a price that just cant be beat!"

"When I bought this bag and first started using it for fall camping, I blamed the fact that I was warm above the waist and freezing below on my advancing age and established tendency to get cold feet. Now after a few years of use I realize the bag is just not designed to keep your feet warm."

"A bit cold, but the temp was definitely below this bag's comfort rating of 20F. Camped at 4,000ft in January on the AT, where the temp was single digits and the wind blowing at a nice clip. The ground was frozen solid and snow/ice was everywhere. The bag held in heat very well using a Nalgene and boling water as a heater."

"This bag does not live up to its temperature rating. . . Period. It would be a good bag for summer use only. I used it on a trip to the Yukon last year (45 degree temp) and froze my butt off. Bear in mind I had a partner in a different 20 degree bag, who stayed toasty the whole trip."

"Excellent bag! Spent the night on top of Mt Rogers with howling 60 mph wind and 20 degree temps. Stayed nice & warm with polartec pants and wool socks! Won't stuff as small as down bags, but hard to beat for the price. Bought this bag on sale after reading many, many positive reviews!"

"This bag has been excelent for me. I just spent 9 weeks in the Sierras at ~7000 to 9000 ft. I don't know how it handles the cold weather but I never wear more than boxers when I sleep. Plus it packs small with a compression sack."

"A very comfortable bag if you are camping in the summer. I do not recommend this bag for even near winter conditions. Otherwise good deal for the money."

"Nice bag. Not as compact as I'd like, probably cuz I'm a bit on the crazy side about stuff like that. But does well in a compression bag. I must say that it has really good touches, like the fleece collar. There are better bags out there with more stuff, but at this price ya cant lose. SD did a good job."
