I've got the wide body version (which is now discontinued in the synthetic fill in that size I believe, but down is avail). It's been a good bag. Compresses decently, no zipper problems and has kept me warm on 30deg nights. Unfortunately, as with most detachable hood models (yes, mine's got one) you really can't 'zip-up' as the hood fit is poor and there's some drafting at the attachment area. But as I mentioned, there's been a few 30deg nights and they were comfortable enough but then again I'm a warm sleeper. So, if you get the version w/ the non-removable hood I think you're all set - Customer Service I've always had good customer service at EMS. If you're talking with someone who's not that detailed in the particular product you're looking to purchase there's always an employee on staff who is to help. Similar Products Used: None |

This is a good all around bag. It is excellent for taller, bigger people and quality is top notch. However, it is best in dry conditions as it can get a little soggy when wet. Its not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Customer Service The sales personnel are always friendly and knowledgeable. Similar Products Used: None |

The LT 20 is a solid bag with a ton of useful features, the highlights of which are the sleeping pad sleeve, useful draft collar, snag free zipper, and fully fleece lined stuff sack/pillow. The only negative thing I can say is I wish it were a little wider for freedom of movement while sleeping. But you have to make sacrifices for weight savings, which is what the mummy style provides. Customer Service Excellent service, knowledgeable and eager to help Similar Products Used: None |

I've had this baby in the Whites of New Hampshire, the desert of Texas, and on Springer Mountain, Georgia. Each time it has performed well, with sufficient room. The hood and draw cords are great, as is the fleece lined stuff sack. Great fit in my backpack as well. Only downfall - my toes went numb at 15 degrees F. But the rest of me was nice and toasty.

Good, but never dries out if it gets wet. I have had mine for 4 years, and compared to the new sleeping bags, it is pretty heavy. Customer Service the zipper broke. they sent a replacement. i could have said the seams ripped, and they probably would have sent me a new sleeping bag. they didnt talk too much Similar Products Used: no |

This is an excelent bag!! I brought it through mountains in maine, arizona, utah, colorado, and new mexico! One of my favorite features is the flip-around stuff sack. It goes inside out to create an awesome comfortable pillow! BUY THIS BAG NOW! Customer Service Trust me, you wont need customer service! Similar Products Used: None |

The good news: I like this sleeping bag. It's durable, warm, and a pretty good value. The bad news: It's a liitle heavy. It dries v e r y slowly. Customer Service I have always had good service at EMS. Also, the sales people are generally knowledgable about their products. Similar Products Used: None |

This bag is great overall. It is plenty roomy, and fairly light (although there are lighter). Warmth was good right down to the rating. If you catch it on sale, it's a great value. Customer Service EMS rocks in this department! Similar Products Used: Marmot, Sierra. |

I have had this bag for about half a year and it has already proven itself. I have stayed warm and dry on snowy winter nights and cool and comfortable on hot summer nights. It packs very small and its fleece lined stuff sack is very comfortable at night. I would recommend this sleeping bag to anyone. Customer Service EMS has the best customer service around. Everyone there is always friendly and knowlegable. |
