I owned a Wild Bill for under two years and returned it recently. A decent bag, tho when I bought it, it was rated for 15 degrees (generous and I'm glad they added at least 5 degrees to the rating). The zipper tape was too narrow, so it often snagged (I notice they've changed that with newer models). But my problem is with Polarguard 3D. I'll give it an F for durability. Probably used the bag on a dozen excursions, say, 48 days of use. It compacted on the bottom and lost a lot of its initial loft. Lame, lame, lame. I sent it back to SD and they concurred. After three synthetic bags, all of them going flat before their time, I'm done with synthetics. Down from here on out. Customer Service Great response time and know when to admit there's a problem. For an upgrade fee, I got to choose which of this year's model bags I wanted. Way to keep a customer happy. Similar Products Used: Slumberjack, White Stag, some other K-Mart brands |

I even use this bag as a blanket on my bed at home. It's terribly comfortable, warm, and it stands up to flooded tents pretty well. This bag packs up smaller than any other 20 deg 3D bag I've tried and is is pretty darn light. The fleece around the hood can sortof irritate a day or two growth of facial hair. Good synthetic bag, though. Similar Products Used: Caribou- some old synthetic fiber |

Have only used the bag 3-4 times, but has been warm. One night it got to 10 F or so and I was not cold at all. Bag also stayed dry inside with snow covering it all night. |
