Great Bag for light weight biking. Stayed warm even when the temp dropped to 0. Customer Service Only thing I don't like is that the bad would sometimes bunch up under me - probable because I move so much at night. |

This was the first bag that I have ever bought. I have used it in both the Pacific Northwest and the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is an excellent 3 Season bag, yet I have also used it in single digit winter temperatures and have been toasty with poly underwear etc. I don't think that I will ever need another bag. I am 5'6" and have plenty of room. The bag has been through thick and thin. Excellent value. |

The Blue Kazoo is a great bag for three 1/2 seasons. I've used it once in -20 w/ a flannel liner and it was nippy. GReat bag otherwise down into the 20's. GReat packability and not heavy. All in all a comfy little mummifier. Similar Products Used: Tried a synthetic bag from Marmot, not only was heavier and bulkier but not as warm. |

This is a great bag for the end of winter on through to the beginning winter. It's kept me warm down to 0 degree on a backpacking trip in the south of Chile. For the money it is definitely a good one. I am a fan. Similar Products Used: None |

I've had mine for about 3 years, no serious complaints. Packs down nice and small. Warm and comfy. A good backpacking bag. Similar Products Used: North Face, Slumberjack |

This bag kicks ass, whatever size. I use this bag exclusively for bike excursions due to it's compactability and weight. I can compress it down enough to fit in two gallon freezer bags and biggety bam, three thick rubber bands later and you have a waterproof cover. I use this set up with a camp mor Bivy and I have a killer sleeping chamber that is less than 2 1/2 lbs. This allows me to carry more beers for more post ride enjoyment.

This is my first down bag and it is a winner. It packs down to almost nothing and hasn't failed to keep me warm (although I have not had to use it in real cold environs yet). I do find the bag a little tight (which I am told is normal for lightweight down bags) and had to upgrade my sleeping pad (unlike most synthetics, down bags usually don't provide a lot of padding). Customer Service I did make the mistake of getting a regular when I should have got a long (they were on sale and they only had the regular). At $149, I couldn't pass it up.

i am on my second one (1st was stolen) and loving this one even more. At 5'10"", I am right at the specifications for the normal sack. This time I got the long (6'6""-and incidentally, bigger in the shoulders and waist as well) and it has paid off for me. The extra space in the shoulders and at my feet makes makes me love it more.

This bag is my bag baby. It's got a groovy feel, and keeps my buns toasty at very low temperatures. At 160 American dollars, it's quite the bargain. Similar Products Used: North Face Snowshoe 3D |

The first time I used this bag, I slept right out in the open on a ThermaRest mattress. I knew the bag was rated at 20 degrees and I knew that I'd be cutting it close. Actually, I expected to freeze. Much to my surprise, when I woke up the next morning I was toasty warm. I raised my head, looked down, and saw that the bag was covered with frost. I got up and checked a thermometer which read 17 degrees! I knew I was going to like this bag. It stuffs down to the size of a loaf of bread.
