I was looking for a rectangular bag for both warmer weather camping and something light that would do for backpacking. I purchased a medium last week and have not used it yet. The specs say 1 lb. 10 oz, but my digital kitchen scale brings it in at 2 lb. 10 3/4 oz (which includes a 1.5 oz stuff sack). It weighs in at more than my 2 lb 3 oz. North Face so it doesn't improve my backpacking weight. I would not quibble over a couple of ounces, but this is pretty far off the mark. I knew something was not right when I put a bag in each hand and the Exped was noticeably heavier than my NF. Haven't decided whether to take it back. It may still be good for warmer weather camping. Gave it a "mid" rating since I haven't used it yet. It may be great for car camping but I'm disappointed in the weight.

After my Summer Guiding in Alaska...

for the price, this bag is wonderful! I've used this for two Summers in Alaska and I love it! It's not too heavy, pretty warm, compresses small enough (for the price) and I love having the room to move around in the bag a bit. As a side sleeper it's a breath of fresh air. I cannot tell any difference between the two sides as far as temperature goes but it keeps me warm. I usually sleep in layers and now with a warm liner (so I don't have to clean the bag as much). So it's hard for me to say how warm the bag itself really is but I'd say if it gets below 40/45 degrees I'd get a little cold.

Versatile sleeping bag

Nice, lightweight sleeping bag for car camping. I like that it can be used for 2 temperature ranges, plus it can be opened as a blanket. I've given it a couple of runs and think the temperature ranges might be rated a little lower than accurate - or maybe I just need to dress warmer.

Great Bag but Not 25F/40F
1 year ago
I’ve had this bag for 2 1/2 years and this is my go-to for weekends with scouts or week-long summer camp. I use it with a rectangular silk/cotton liner. It is not a cold weather bag, though. I find that I get cold in this bag with the thicker side on top when it hits 60F or below. Great, lightweight roomy bag for warm weather camping, but not 25/40.

Awesome lightweight Comfy sleeping bag
4 years ago
Although I have not taken it to the trail, I have faith for it to be a great sleeping bag. I have tested it at home and I'm sleeping in it EVERY DAY since I got it. It is so comfy and lightweight. The bag is the perfect size for me. I'm 5'10 and Medium fits me well. I guess for people who are bigger, the large version will be a good fit. Something to be considered: - My scale gives me a different reading. It is a little bit heavier than 2lbs for the Medium. I added a compression sack of about 2 ozs, the total weight is about 2.5 lbs. - I have read about some reviews that this sleeping bag may not hold up the listing temperature, I think it does a decent job of providing the warm. Maybe considering a sleeping bag liner to add extra warmth for those who need them. Overall, It is a great sleeping bag from exped!

Great bag, but not for restless sleepers
1 year ago
Nice quality bag with a nice stuff sack and material, but not for people who toss and turn in their sleep. I was warm in this bag until I would turn in my sleep with the bag, at which point it would switch to the 40 degree rated side and then I would get cold. It's fine if you can rotate in the bag without switching the sides, but I can't do that subconsciously in my sleep

Great for backpacking and surprisingly warm.

Bought this on sale a while back wasnt really expecting to use it in freezing temps, however i went camping twice in cold weather. One time was about 35-40 and the other was right at 30 degrees. I wore minimal clothing, and used a sleeping pad as you are supposed to. I was cold at first but after some wiggling and shoving my head inside i was warm and asleep in no time.

When I first got this bag I was very pessimistic about it being a 25 degree bag. After using it, I can say that it’s far from that. Maybe 40 degrees if you wear garments. But it does seem to be a well built bag. It is comfortable and easy to toss and turn in. The snug string was a nuisance so I removed it.

Happy so far, testing in my backyard soon

I bought this bag to pair with a down quilt if chilly or use on its own during summer. For the price and description, it is what I expected. No visible flaws or issues. The zipper can get caught on the fabric but that can happen with any zippered garment or sleeping bag. Looking forward to testing this in my backyard during late winter/early spring temps and will report back with how it performs. Nice that it came with a stuff sack but would have preferred a compression bag but no big deal. It is not too bulky or heavy for what I expected. I am 6'2" and I ordered the "long" version and it is long enough.

Not sure if its the slippery fabric, or the shape, but this bag isn't as warm as implied. I ended up warmer buying a blanket, which had more options
No, I do not recommend this product
