For bone-chillingly cold nights, the Mountain Hardwear Lyell Sleeping Bag gives you a lofty layer of 600-fill goose down to separate your warm body from the frigid outside air. The comfortable mummy cut efficiently holds in heat without constricting your movement, and 5-inch baffle spacings keep the insulation evenly distributed. Mountain Hardwear also added an ergonomic face gasket and an insulated draft collar and draft tube to hold in precious warmth.
Bottom Line: Your own personal force field of warmth.

What's a good sleeping pad to pair with this bag?

Whew, you could get about a hundred different opinions on this question. I personally like the Big Agnes Dual Core pad with a closed cell foam pad under that. You have many options and many great pads to choose from that will all do the job.

Tested to -12F...I'm alive!

This has been a great sleeping bag for winter camping! I took this out on one of the coldest days of the year in McCall Idaho. I set up my tent in the middle of the lake on a patch of ice and hunkered down. The low temp that night was -12F and I slept comfortably through the night! I matched this bag with a good thick sleeping pad, and some North Face Tent Booties to keep my feet warm.
The face gasket is very functional and allows for easy breathing. I tend to turn alot during the night, but didn't run into any issues getting the hood/gasket adjusted. The cords are easy accessible and you can cinch them down quite nicely around your face. (very useful for keeping the heat in)
I haven't had any issues with the zipper so far. Compared to other sleeping bags I have, this one is very smooth and rarely ever catches.
So far, I am very happy with my purchase and would suggest this bag to anyone else looking for a good winter sleeping bag!
Is this a compact sleeping bag?

Most, if not all sleeping bags compact down to a smaller stuffed size especially down. The Lyell stuffs down to 9 x 18 inches. Hopefully this is what you were asking.

Last years version Lyell SL worked great on my hike up Cerro Aconcagua, kept me really warm at around -10F and the bag remained dry on the inside at all times, most other bags were soaked. Awesome bag. All I recomend is getting a compression sack, the one provided is not too good.
Which bag will be warmer, this bag or the Lamina -30 synthetic

I heard from other sites that this bag has a conduit membrane,
I heard from other sites that this bag has a conduit membrane, but there's nothing here about that. Which one is the typo? And if it does have the conduit membrane, is it actually that breathable or will I wake up in an ice pack of frozen feathers? Any help would be awesome, thanks.

The description here is correct, and the Conduit description on other sites is also likely correct. Here's why: there are two versions of the Lyell -15 bag. The older version is the Lyell -15 SL. "SL" signifies the use of the Conduit SL shell fabric. The new 2009 version does not have the Conduit SL shell fabric and uses a 30D/359T breathable nylon ripstop fabric with a DWR finish. Why Mountain Hardwear made the change from the SL to this shell fabric is unclear. Both are breathable, though, so it's unlikely you will wake up in a bed of frosty feathers.

I haven't used this bag out in the mountains yet but the first day I got it in the mail I just had to jump into it and after 5 min I had to jump out because I started sweating so I'm looking forward to using this bag this fall. I'm 5'8" 200 lbs muscular build and I hope I won't get too much bigger or I'll have to buy an expansion thing for it or something. The hood of the bag is great I almost got closter fobic because it mummied me up so good.
Change me.
