Purchased long bag on sale last year. Extremely roomy for me, 6'1" 140 lbs male. Used in below 0F temperatures in and out of tent with comfortable results. This bag is quite underfilled so I purchased 4oz of 700 fill power down, cut slits on each baffle from the inside (12 baffles) and distributed the 4oz evenly. Now it performs like a -15F mummy bag and looks like the advertised loft in the pictures. Great bag if purchased on sale.
Excellent bag for the money. Down filling is puffy and the draft collar and liner are nicely done. The exterior Windstopper fabric seems very well made and the zipper doesn't hang up. Quick in and out bag. Unfortunately it wasn't large enough for my shoulders (56-57" chest) and I had to return it. Feeling sorry I couldn't keep it because it seems very durable and warm and I'd give it a five out of five stars for a comfort rating considering the feel of the fabric and the loft of the down insulation. I had done a lot of research and this bag fit all the requirements. Comes with a nice stuff sack and storage sack. I didn't compress it to see how easy that was. Color is great if you hunt and want other hunters to see your bag downrange so they don't shoot in your direction. Definitely a five star deal.
I chose size large to have more space with clothes on. The down filling does not feel enough. The leg space is pretty big which I love a lot. The zipper line area is a little cold. The foot area might need more filling. The gore-tex fabric is amazing. I found ice and snow on it, but the bag stays dry inside.
