 Good, basic three-season bagJan 28, 2008
By Arthur Digbee
The first strength of this bag is that it packs really small--small enough so that I've actually packed two of them while playing Sherpa for the family. It's long enough for me (at 6'2"). It's also available at a very reasonable price, though that comes at some cost in performance.
This bag's first weakness is its foot box. For all four of us, this is the body part that gets cold first in winter use.
The bags also seem to be losing their loft after about four years of use. I haven't decided yet whether the bags are getting less effective as a result (yet).
There's also a feature issue. If you're inside the bag, the interior draft tube and chest collar is hard to use in conjunction with the main drawstring and velcro snaps. It's easy for me to help other people with it from the outside, so if it's cold, I can tuck the kids in just fine. But I can't get it to work right from the inside of my own bag.
Now, the big question for a bag: how warm is it? This is marketed as a three-season bag, and it's certainly that. Here in the Midwest, however, I use it in four seasons for temperatures into the teens. I've used it for overnight temperatures into the single digits, which is well below the manufacturer's specs. (The bag has a label along the zipper that says "41F for comfort, 32F for tolerance, and 20F for extreme.")
I've been using it for about four years, in a family with two warm sleepers, one cold sleeper, and one medium sleeper. The temperature rating is about right for the medium sleeper. I wouldn't use it below about 40F for the cold sleeper.
I only take it into the 20s or below for our two warm sleepers in the family, and here's what it takes to work. As pads, we use a closed-cell bag with an inflatable Thermarest on top. We're in an REI Half-Dome tent, which is ostensibly a three-season tent but one that keeps warmth in really well if you close the vents on the fly. We sleep clothed, with an extra pair of socks because of the weak foot box, with hat and sometimes gloves. We've also used this in a three-sided AT shelter with temps in the 20s, while wearing our fleece coat layers as well as clothes.
So, at least for us very warm sleepers, the "extreme" tolerance goes below 20F with good planning and good layers. Experiment in your backyard before relying on this, though.
In short, it's a good basic three-season bag with some weaknesses but available at a reasonable price.

 Best Deal EverSep 21, 2009
By Kyle A. Warner
I purchased this to use for camping out on Colorado 14'ers (for those not well versed in mountaineering, these are mountains of elevation 14'000ft+) and have had no complaints. I spent the night out at 12,000ft last night and with the wind and 25 degree weather, I was warm in shorts and a t-shirt. This has got to be the best piece of equipment that I actually took a dip in price with (all my other gear is top notch). Combine this with a Thermarest mattress (which costs more than the bag, but well worth it) and you have yourself the perfect match!

Great Size and WeightDec 18, 2007
By Patrick
I bought this bag for its' size (fits in the front of my back pack) and its' light weight. I have used it a number of times and can't say enough good about it. It is narrow at the legs, which I like, but for those who prefer lots of room, this would not be your bag. Because of the design, it has kept me plenty warm at night.

Great BagJun 22, 2005
By Shortcake Ginny
I bought this bag for my son for Boy Scout camping trips. Mostly because of its very light weight. Not only is it light it is very warm. He is very happy with it and so am I. I am even considering another one for my younger son.

Great bag; functional and good lookingDec 15, 2010
By football forever
This bag will keep you warm and has a decent amount of room for a mummy bag. It rolls up to a very compact size, but it's not small enough for backpacking. This doesn't bother me since I camp often, but don't need to fit everything in a backpack. Get it, it's worth the cheap price.
