Used this bag on a 10 week hike that covered half the AT. I was never cold, but sometimes hot. On the cold nights this is a great bag. It warmed up quickly and if I had to get out at night it was still warm when a got back in. But many nights it took me a while to get a comfortable temperature to sleep. Also, (maybe this is true for all bags) I found that bag started to smell just as bad as a did. I never washed it, but there were not too many places that I could or had time to wash it. It's a good bag, but I will explore others bags for the warmer summer trips.

I haven't needed it.

This review is strictly for fit of this bag.

As a "large" person I was hoping the X-wide version of this bag would suit my needs. Unfortunatly it was too tight in the foot and chest area for my 6'1" frame and 46" chest.

I reluctantly returned the bag (i got it for a really good price) I thought the bag was very well constucted and would serve its purpose well down to its 15 degree rating. I just wanted to let other clydesdales out there know that the x-wide size really isn't that extra wide.

I ended up with an SD Sandman (flex series) nice roomy fit for my size. :-)

5 stars for the Wiz because if it had fit it would've been a great deal.

Really like the bag! Used it over the holidays -- one night at 17 degrees under a shelter, one night at 25 degrees in a tent. Slept warm in my shorts and a cap both nights. Love climbing into the driclime liner -- reminds me of flannel sheets. Compresses well. Good response from BackCountryGear after the stuff sack didn't show up with the original shipment.

Awesome bag! It is just roomy enough to be comfortable, but snug enough to be warm. I spent a night on an exposed bald of a mountain without a tent and a wind-chill in the 20s. I stayed warm the whole night. And with the great deal I got, you can't beat it.

Excellant quality. It puts up with a lot of abuse. I really like the close cut I don't feel like I'm carrying extra sleeping bag. I don't have the dri-clime so I can't comment on that.

Bought this from REI on closeout, very nice feel, fits me perfectly. It is a short and I'm about 5'5" so it's fairly midweight (2lbs 12oz) and comfortable. I did find the zipper just a little hard to close in some spots but I'm sure that's just me. This isn't the dry clime one though but since it hasn't gotten wet yet, can't evaluate the wet performance. Was plenty warm though wearing shorts and a light T-shirt on a 55 degree night in June. I do like to sleep cool.

Great, Great, Great! This is and excellant bag in all areas. I especially like the ""dri-clime"" liner, it is very warm and fuzzy. I have even gotten the bottom of the bag wet in a downpour and managed to stay bone dry inside. Even on 40 degree nights I stayed toasty. Bottomline, it's like taking your bed with you.

This is a great bag. The lining is a terrific material called ""dri-clime"" which is very soft and warm. It's a lot different from any other bag I've ever used, it's really a treat to slip into it at night. Compressibility is average, the stiffened draft tubes are nice, and it's warm, warm, warm. If you're looking for a solid, well made, affordable bag, this one is worth a look.

The ""dri-clime"" interior is extremely comfortable, and overall this is a great bag. It comes in extra wide, which I recommend because, otherwise, I couldn't zip the hood of the bag fully closed without feeling like a contortionist. Be careful tearing the tags off the foot of the bag -- I was a little disappointed to find that the tags are stronger than the stitching.

Great bag, no problem keeping me warm on a breezy, rainy, 45 degee night. Plush, plush, plush is how I would describe the lining. As noted previously, go with the wider version. Things tended to get a little cramped.
