From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Blue Kazoo 15-Degree Sleeping Bag has 600+ fill down that plays a toasty tune down to below freezing temps. Extremely compressible and durable, this is the classic North Face all-around backpacker's bag. As usual, The North Face has constructed this bag with the utmost detail. Listing all of the Blue Kazoo's technical features is enough to put you to sleep, so we'll cut to the chase. Its silken lining feels wonderfully soft on your skin, and it's breathable so your funk doesn't fester inside your bag all night. Heat traps and draft tubes minimize heat loss throughout. The Blue Kazoo is so comfy, you'll say to hell with seeing the sun rise over Lone Peak, and instead choose to sleep in. But just in case, The North Face has integrated an ear-level watch pocket so you're up in time. When you go to rest your weary head, stuff the Blue Kazoo's external pillow pocket with your down or fleece jacket and voil ! Instant pillow. Store your Blue Kazoo in its nylon/mesh storage bag so the down doesn't lose its loft and pack it in its stuffsack when you're on the go in the backcountry."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"What's the ado about the Blue Kazoo? We've been partial to this sleeping bag for several seasons because it offers plenty of thermal performance and features without a lot of unnecessary weight. Comfort rated at 20F, the Blue Kazoo is ideal for spring and summer mountaineering as well as three-season backpacking. The design features a stacked trapezoidal baffle system that keeps the down fill consistently in place to eliminate cold spots. Unlike a lot of conventional mummy sleeping bags that attempt to pin down your tired feet at night, The North Face designed the Blue Kazoo with a vaulted footbox that offers a forty-inch circumference that's ideal for anyone who needs to shift around at night. Unlike some other vaulted sleeping bags made by The North Face, the Blue Kazoo doesn't have a vented footbox, so keep this in mind if you're planning on sleeping in warm spaces (the extended side zipper does a fair job at allowing some cooling capacity on warm nights). Whether you camp, climb, backpack or top summits in the summer, the Blue Kazoo is a practical and highly functional choice for three seasons of your year."

Two items are not perfect. The main zipper sometimes gets stuck in the zipper cover fabric. The other is that it could use a little more knee space for us fetal sleepers."

However I have one complaint: Whenever I'm wearing shorts in this bag the seams inside the bag have a rough feeling on my legs, and it will only stop if I don't move my legs at all."

Pros: it does keep me warm at +30F, and it's very light and can be compressed into very small pack."
