I'm very pleased with this bag, although I'd agree with some of the other comments that the 35 degree rating is a tad optimistic. You better have some thermal skivvies if the forecast is for anything below 45. One other gripe: I have never, ever been able to zip the dang thing up completely without it catching several times. Other than that it's great. Durable, easy to pack and so light you hardly feel as though you're in a mummy even with the hood cinched tight. Similar Products Used: None |

A Bag tha fit my 6'3" frame well, but I returned the bag to REI because it did not livre up to the 35 degree rating even when sleeping in thermax and with a bag liner! Packed small,light and was durable as well. Customer Service REI service is the best, they exchanged the 35 degree bag at original purchase price towars their 15 degree Down Time Bag. I can't wait to try that bag this year. Similar Products Used: The North Face, Kelty, Slumberjack & Coleman |

I got this bag to compliment my 0 deg Wiggy. So far after 33 nights in the bag I can say that the temperature rating is spot on (for me anyway, I sleep pretty average), the Thermolite insulation is very soft and drapes very well, and the cut of the bag fits my 5'8" 160lb frame perfectly. I have several REI products and they all have lived up to my high expectations. Customer Service REI is tops in customer service. The freiendly sales staff always takes the time to figure out exactly what I need and never pressures me into a decision. Similar Products Used: Kelty Clear Creek |

Not as comfortable as others, but for the price, it's not bad. It looks good, and it's mostly suited to cold autumn nights. Similar Products Used: None |

Not too bad. Took it on a week bike trip. Dries out quickly. but very uncomfortable in cooler weather. Very light. Similar Products Used: None |

This bag is great for an inexpensive bag. It's relatively light and packs small. It has ample room so you're able to move within it (I'm 5'8""). Stays warm, though I haven't used it in weather below 40 degrees yet. Customer Service I haven't had any problems with this bag yet, but I do know that REI is very good about returns on any of the products you buy from them. Similar Products Used: None |

Definitely not a cold weather bag, but it's not supposed to be. Perfect car camper bag because it's inexpensive, easy to toss in the tent and forget, then toss in the closet and forget. I'm 6'1"" and i fit fine. Customer Service They were really helpful when I felt like they knew what they were talking about, and I didn't, but I felt like I was talking to a bunch of used car salesmen when we went to the bikes Similar Products Used: None |
