I've owned this bag for nine years. I've backpacked in the Cascades, Sierra and Rockies, over 100 nights. It has 90% of its loft and has never been washed. I totaled an old REI down bag washing it once.

I sleep with lightweight polypro to keep dirt out. Except for the face area, this works.

I have slept down to 15 degrees and been comfortable. I sleep warm. I usually sleep with it as a comforter, and at about freezing zip it up. This is an excellent bag for three seasons. You can't go wrong with this one...
