I run a gear lending program for youth, so our gear gets used frequently. Our Big Agnes sleeping bags have lasted the test of time. We have had no issues with the seams ripping or tearing which is a common issue we've run across with high-volume use. Additionally, they are lightweight and warm which allows us to use them both front country camping and backpacking. They don't come with a compression bag, if you plan on backpacking you would need to purchase one separately.
I am a federal wildland firefighter and I use this bag at work weeks on end. I have a down 0 degree BogAgnes but it tends to be too hot in June/July/August. Headed to a fire assignment on the Mt. Hood, mid September roll with this bag should do well. October rolls is when I will switch back to the 0 degree bag.
This is a well made bag. I does not sport the extra features, but it performs well. It does the job of keeping me warm and is a fine choice for synthetic bags. It just works and with the quality of construction I have observed, it will continue to do so for a long time to come.
It's a great bag for the price. Worked so well the mrs took it after a season. Not complaints other than very narrow in the feet, after repeat nights my hips get sore because of feet placement. I like the brand and will buy again.
Good bag, got down to 32 the night I used it, and kept me warm. Was too tight in the leg and feet area for my liking.
