Rating: rated 3.5 of 5 stars

Fill: Hypoallergenic Omega II polyester fiber
Temperature Rating: 0 F
Weight: 3.5 pounds
Price Paid: $17

It's light, highly compressible and a very reasonably priced bag. It performed relatively well down to - 0.5 C (around 30 F), but if the temp gets lower, it's highly unlikely that it will keep its inhabitant cozy. It features a contoured drawstring hood, a 3-inch, full-length draft tube, and a 5-inch internal shoulder collar to help keep the cold out. Other features include a self-repairing zipper and an oxford nylon stuff sack.

The rating could have been better, but I know bags which weigh around the same with better synthetic insulation materials, but this is not one of those. It's good for an occasional camper though.
