Positives:

This bag has held up well to more than 50 nights of use.

It was comfortable at 26 degrees during a week trek in July through California's Desolation Wilderness.

It was warm at 2 degrees during a two night stay at 10,400 on Mt. Shasta in November.

Compresses well and as advertised, it is very light.

Negatives:

I found this bag to be constrictive in the shoulders and hips.

I am 6' and 195 lbs. Genetics have given me slightly wider hips so that could account for that related problem.

I enjoyed this bag but have sold it and purchased SD stretch deep sleep model.
