Comments about REI Igneo Sleeping Bag:
I choose this sleeping bag after carefull review of the competion. Not only is it 800 Fill down and superlight weight, but its material is waterproof, not a sprayed on treatment like others out there. I will be using this bag to thru hike the Appalachian Trail in 6 weeks. It will be used in unison with the female version which my gf has for the compatibility. It has not been used in the field yet, but right out of the box this bag SCREAMS quality.

I've only used it once in sub 35 deg weather but I can already tell that I'm gonna enjoy this bag for many years to come. If you got somewhat wide shoulders, this bag is a great fit...not too snug on top. Packing weight is not too bad and the fill keeps you warm. I like the added shoulder pads...it actually works well to trap the heat in. The zip works well including the adjustable hoodie. Leg room is great also...not too loose. Thanks to the REI personal at the flagship store...he convinced me this was the right bag for me...and to cough up the excessive dough. It is a 10 year investment.

I Like it because of many reasons 1 there is plenty room in the feet, 2 it's so light, 3 it's cheap for what it is, 4 a pocket is near the head to store things such as a watch, phone, or money, 5 is is water resident.

Comments about REI Igneo Sleeping Bag:
I bought this bag the beginning of april 2012. I needed a warm but light down bag for some long distance hikes and some short-but-steep 3-day trips from Jube throughout october. I hit summer hard and i pack as light as possible while staying warm, dry and safe.
This bag weighs 2.2 lbs and could be lighter. It had a anti-snag strip behind the zipper that makes it somewhat stoner-proof you might say, but i am not a child and can be careful when exiting my bag not to snag it...the backing strip is bulky and unnecessary. the bag has a 'draft yoke' which i think is a GREAT idea however this bag (much like other REI bags i've owned) is a bit over-produced. too much stitching in the all the wrong places. The fabric is overkill and unless you sleep on scree; i think its overkill. The fit of this bag is so-so. I'm 5'7 145lbs and the torso was roomy enough, but the bag from the knees down felt like a small cocoon which is not condusive to a sprawling sleeping habit. If i were to redesign this bag i would:
Widen the footbox.
Reduce the amount of thread used in stitching by 30%.
Switch the entire shell material to something lighter and more taffetta.
Shorten the zipper.
Remove the zipper backing and use a lighter duty zipper.
Oh yes, i forgot to mention how WARM this bag is! Too warm in my opinion. I've spent almost 3weeks of nights in this bag, some of those nights it dipped into the mid 20's and i have always been too warm even on the coldest night in shorts and a tshirt. i equate the extra warmth to the waterproof-breathable outer shell. I DO NOT SUPPORT WPB SHELLS IN SLEEPING BAGS so if you want to soak your bag and clothes from the inside out in this bag then buy it because the breathability needed for sleeping comfortably has gone out the window with the use of such material.
maybe it'd be nice in a cold cold cold alpine situation, but i have not needed to zip this bag up once sonce owning it.
Bottom line, big guys beware of the fit. little guys, you might like it if you want a overkill bag that keeps you too warm.
IMHO i would like to see a more lightweight bag with the quality that has been haphazardly strewn across this one, more condensed to make a supreme lightweight 3season bag thats very practical. this bag will get returned, or i might cut it up to be lighter, or just gut it and restuff a quilt with the down. this bag has plenty, but could weigh less and be just as warm if the proper materials were used and the overkill factor was reduced.
hey-ohh if you need a bag for your boyscout and want it to last this one might do the trick its durable as heck.
