I have used my -5 Down Time DL(Dry Loft) on many summit attempts in the Cascades and many snowcamping trips and have found it to be a great bag. I rarely use a tent, preferring to bivy and have stayed toasty warm. While caught in a winter storm on Mt Baker, temperatures got well below 0 with windchill and the bag performed perfectly. My only concern is that I find at least one feather in my bivy after each trip. Customer Service REI is great with all their merchandise. |

The Down Timer is almost too warm for me and the area that I live in. Maybe it will come more in need if I start to do some early spring back country packing. Customer Service REI is a friendly place to do business with. Similar Products Used: None |

I have the 0 degree version and its awesome. Good price and good quality. I live in it for 6 weeks for each of the past three years and aside from needing a good cleaning its in great shape. Similar Products Used: None |

I have been using the REI down time bag for about a year now. I use the bag for the purpose that it was intended for: +15 degree weather. This is my first down bag, and I really appreciate the light weight and small pack volume. I have never had to test the performance of the bag when wet, and hope that I never have to! Customer Service The customer service at REI is outstanding. They will make good on any waranty or guarantee that they state. |

A good solid down bag at a reasonable price. REI makes good products. No complaints and have backpacked with in on a few separate trips. No complaints, and I got it in my favorite color too! Like all down bags, it must be kept from the rain or wetness or sleeping won't be any fun. . . Similar Products Used: None |

I've used the 0 degree bag on 2 three-five day winter trips. Generally, i liked it. However, my feet got rather cold -- even though I know the temp didn't get below the teens. But for the price...well worth it. Similar Products Used: None |

I've used the -20 version of REI's down time. It kept me warm winter camping down to about 0 degrees, but not much colder. The temperature rating is exaggerated. Other than that, the bag is comfortable and easy to manage, but I would look to another brand for cold winter camping. Customer Service I've always had good luck with customer service. REI's reps are always friendly and helpful. Similar Products Used: None |

i have two of these bags (different ratings) and love them. Great value; and packs down nicely. Underrated, IMHO. Customer Service EXCELLENT! REI has THE BEST customer service, hands down. Similar Products Used: Moonstone kelty |
