I got the Wyatt Earp for christmas and slept in it a couple nights later. I live in MN so it can get pretty cold up here. It works great and i would definetly reccomend it to anyone. It''s nice for camping or a cabin or whatever you want to use it for.

The Wyatt Earp sleeping bag is the best
bag I have every owned, and is truly
outstanding. I liked it so much that I bought
on for my wife.

When compared to The North Face Big Foot,
it's better in every respect. The Wyatt Earp
is lighter, warmer, and has a nice draft collar
too. The Wyatt Earp also has an "almost"
down feel to it, which is quite nice.

I generally sleep cold, so that's why I bought
the Wyatt Earp for three-season backpacking.
I also bought the long, which fits my six-foot
frame nicely. From my experience, this bag
should keep me warm to about 10 degrees
Fahrenheit.

By the way, Dom's still has some left, if
you're interested. The new Sierra Design
bags, although excellent, are heavier.

Customer Service

None. Have never needed to call them
for anything. I have a Sierra Designs
tent that's 20 years old and has never
leaked.

The North Face Big Foot. It's okay, but
not as good as the Wyatt Earp. Also the
temperature rating on many of the TNF
bags tend to be optimistic by 15 degrees.

REI Down Bag. I had a bad experience with this bag. I should have taken better care of it, but the down kept coming out of the bag and the insulation finally clumped to a point that made the bag worthless.

I have had this bag for several months now and enjoy it. It is well built and more importantly, very warm. I have used it down to -10*F and it was beginning to show it's limitations. For 0*F weather, however it excels. The biggest drawback is the weight (over four pounds) and the size (it fills roughly 1500-2000 ci of your pack). I like the 3D for it's warmth and it's insulation when wet. For the price I paid the bag is a very good deal. Because of the Bulk and the Weight I would rate the value (Considering the price better than the overall score)

Customer Service

No Experience, but I wouldn't anticipate any problems with Sierra Designs.

I got this sleeping bag, it is called the wyatt earp man. I wanted to see how good it was so I slept in it on night on the couch. I didn't even get cold! That just shows how good of a product this really is. I would definitley reccomend it. It has the sweetest color too, well i guess pink would be better, but it still rocks.I want to buy seven more. Sometimes I hike 5 minutes, and rest for an hour, This bag is comfartble to sit on.

Customer Service

I didn't call them, but what makes me mad is they never called me back!

super bag...got mine on sale for $124 from ems, october 2000, (though the bag was actually manufactured in february 1999)...unbelievably comfortable and durable...w/a compression sack you can get the packable size down way past 11x21 which is stated as the stuffed size by the manufacturer sierra designs....bag works perfectly down to about -10 IMO (even w/ some wind chill)
synthetic 3D fill blows down away for comfort, water-proofness, breatheability, etc....full lifetime warrantee is a big plus....cant say anything bad about this bag except the zipper action leaves something to be desired-it will jam if your not careful as it is a smaller zipper compared to other good bags...highly reccommended bag!

The Wyatt Earp has got to be the best bag at it's price point. In fact, I would put it up aginst bags costing much more. It has ample room even for someone 6'4". I have had it only a few months but it has served me well at temps down to nearly -10. The major problem with the bag is that it could use a better zip-guard. It seems that unless I am very careful in my zipping action, I will tend to snag the zipper. I think that is one area the North Face bags beat-out the SD bags. The other thing I dislike about the bag is that it doesn't pack down very small, but I think it is on par with other Polarguard 3D bags. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the bag...I only wish I could use it this spring and summer. You can bet I will look into other bags by Sierra Designs for spring/summer use.

This bag is awesome! I use it for most winter camping in Utah and Idaho where temp will be around 0 degrees, give or take 10 to 15. Anymore that 30 above and you'll be just sleeping on top hoping for a breeze to come by and cool you off! I use a compressing stuff sack to get the most room in my pack. If you use the stuff sack they give you, you soon realize it can be compressed a lot smaller with a little effort. Not only has this bag has been able to perform when it has been cold, but also wet. After a week of cold and rain, my North Face Superlight would be about an inch of the ground and 15 pounds of water where 3D just breaths great and dries fast. Keeps you warm even if soaked!!! Recommended best buy for all around performance. Much more dependable and able to resist the elements than down!!

Customer Service

This bag came in the mail per my request from Sierra Designs. I had the old Northern light with Lite Loft. It lost all loft. One phone call to Sierra Designs and a few days after I had returned mine, it was replaced with a brand new Wyatt Earp. These guys stand behind there gear like anyone else!

Got my bag when I lived in Iowa and it was great for those late fall or early spring outings--toasty. Also have a Tiros convertible--excellent. Would definitely recommend.

I bought this bag at an REI sale for eighty bucks, and man, it was a total steal. I have slept in it down to about 10 below, and the bag's rating of 0 degrees is about right- I was perfectly comfy at -10F in this bag with thermals on, outside, no tent. The hood is roomy, and there is enough room to twist and turn in your sleep, as I tend to do. The collar is functional, but seems to be a bit hard to get at the drawstring.

Tha bag is about average in weight, 4.5 lbs or so, but does not pack down as well as I would like, but I guess that's a polarguard 3D limitation. Overall a great bag if you can get it for under $170 or so.
