"A good bag for its intended use: 40 degree evenings. If it's a bit colder outside than that, you might want a baffled design sleeping bag. If the temperature is 30 degrees or less, you will really want more down in a baffled bag unless you have the metabolism of a squirrel."

"Unparalleled design and construction. It's like "old world" craftsmanship has suddenly reappeared manifest in the modern manufacture of sleeping bags in the California factory of Western Mountaineering. This bag clearly illustrates the adage, "you get what you pay for."

"I am a cold sleeper and after 2 nights at 41F I know it's rating is good. I got it particularly because of the zippers. It works well in any type of shelter. It comes with a small stuff sack but I'm using a medium so it fills the sleeping bag compartment in both packs better."
