I've had this bag for just over 10 yrs. yes, 10yrs!!!! It's not my go to anymore but I still use it on weekenders in the Colorado high country and most recently in Moab, UT. IT STILL ROCKS!!!!

Great bag for light packing and moderate weather conditions. Absolutely a steal if there are any left out there!!!

Got this on sale earlier this year for $89. It satisfied my requirements: Lightweight, Warm enuff, Cheep.

Not a huge roomy bag, and not much good for anything but sleeping in. The zipper seemed kind of lame, and tended to snag and unzip a bit when I rolled around. The fabric was a bit sticky. I did use it on snow this year, but the temps were fairly warm. I wouldn't recommend it down to 20°, but OK for part of spring, summer, and part of fall. In short, Yagetwhatchapayfor and in the case of the Thunderhead, it met my expectations.

The base exchange in Nebraska was having a sale on the Thunderhead 3D, so I couldn't pass it up for $39. I've taken it all over the world and it's been the best bag I've ever owned. I've used it in the uncomfortable cold confines of a military transport jet, cold tents in Diego Garcia, and a buddy's couch in Florida and have no complaints.

I just bought this bag and it performed well. It is rated for 20 degrees and I slept in 24 and was never the least bit cold. I bought the model that was 90" by 33" so it was very roomy inside. I could even sleep fetal position inside the bag ( I am 6'3"). The bag seems to have a true temp rating. Great bag for the money.

This is the only bag I've been in that exceeds its temp rating. It says 20F but I've been in 10-ish and was still warm. I have never been cold in this thing. I even took it up into the Brooks Range where it rode small and stayed warm. For the price, it was a steal.

For the money a good overall bag. I've used it from the 40's down to the mid 20's. Below 30 wear your LJ's to bed and you'll be fine. The zipper does snag. I like the fit of the hood. About 600 miles so far on the AT with it, mostly in November in VA/MD/PA.

This style of belay devices is named after this product. It's the Q-tip of climbing. I think my ATC came with a big belay locking carabiner back when I bought it. Read More »
