[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this sleeping bag for a trip to Antarctica and I cannot exaggerate how toasty I was. Highly recommend, it's a solid 9/10. Why not a 10/10 The head rest section isn't as comfy so I tucked my fleece mid layer into the hood and that worked perfectly to compensate. Zipping it up felt like a challenge but I think that might be a me problem lol.
Wow, a much needed upgrade from my current bag. This Trail Lite compresses down nicely (Wish it came with a compression sack), it's lite and super warm. The cut is comfortable. Using it to tackle Whitney. Already tested it on some training hikes. Really glad I bought it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice bag, no real complaints. Cross checking this with other brands at similar price points and use cases really just came down to prospective trips. If you don't see yourself trying to hit 4 seasons, I'd go for something that's a little more specialized.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it on my trip for Mt Whitney backpacking trip in the middle of May when it's still snow. Definitely do the job. It keep me warm. For sure I would recommend to friends. My only issue is the zipper that sometimes is hard to zipped up or down.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the quality of this sleeping bag. Haven't had the chance to use it at the intended temperatures to be able to verify how well it performs in 0 degree temps, but I've used it in 30 degree temps and was toasty all night
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice bag....has a lot of return fluff, bag should work well early season in the north Cascades to the Canadian border. ... temperature at night will be around 15 degrees.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the bag my 24 year old son really wanted, and he loves it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Performs as well as marketed!
