My experience was the same as the rest of the reviewers here. This bag IS NOT a 15 degree bag unless you simply enjoy being very cold. I've taken this on two trips where temps dropped to the low 30's. One was on the Superior Hiking Trail in October and the other was on the AT in December. In both cases I spent many sleepless hours simply because I was cold. In both cases I wore a dry base layer and was still cold. I'm 6'1" so I bought the plus size. The sleep system is clever enough but doesn't come close to making up for a sleepless night. I'm a fan of Big Agnes products but regret buying this bag.
