Not very impressed, even for the price, Zipper ALWAYS gets snagged on sleeve. The hyperloft "leaks" out from the thread seams. Feels like spider webs on your face and arms. Last MEC synthetic i ever buy!!!! (by the way, same problems with my buddies Winterhawk, mine is not the only lemon put together on a Monday or Friday by some dejected factory worker in Taiwan)
Next one is going to be a Western Mountaineering!! just have to sell one of my kidneys.

Absolutely the best bag for the money. Excellent loft over the long haul, washes well, a bit bulky (approx 30 litres when compressed, but will fit into olive barrel) but excellent craftmanship! AWESOME all-around bag. Absolutely tops! Outdoor Rec. Rules
