This bag is toastier than any other I've been in, which is definitely perfect for those winter car-camping nights--that being said, it's not something I could strap onto my backpack. The bag is huge, it hardly fits in the stuff sack, but it's perfect if you're looking for a quality beast of a bag and you're not conserving space. Quality.

I have taken this bag out twice, once in my backyard when temperatures dipped in the low 30's and once up in the mountains. The first time I slept out under the stars and loved the fact that I slept like a baby. no chills or cold spots. The second time I slept in a Trango 2 with my two year old son and we zipped both our trestles (L and R zip) together and were very warm the entire night. Are there better sleeping bags out there? Sure. But for the money at approximately one sixth or fifth the cost of other high tech sleeping bags the trestle is legit. I have not taken it out in super cold weather, (below 20 degrees) and I wonder how it will perform, but at around 30 degrees it is awesome. Bottom line, the trestle packs small, is lightweight and toasty, toasty warm. I am happy with my purchase and am so glad I bought it from this site. I will definitely buy from these guys again.

This bag is probably warm but it is huge!!! If you are looking for something to fit inside your pack, go with the down 0 degree never summer or something else. My never summer 0 degree gets to 1/3 the size this one does and i couldn't be happier. If you car camp, save your money but if you do any mountainerring or backpacking in cold weather, go small and go down. spend the extra money and be happy with your new bag!!

Erroneous, Jon. It's not huge, but it's also not small. You just need a better stuff sack, hombre. I carry mine with on backpacking trips and it fits just fine in the sleeping bag compartment. In fact, there's always extra room no matter what pack I use.

It's extremely comfortable and the neck-draft-dodger thing is super warm/cozy/comfortable. This bag rocks.

I bought this bag for a recent trip down to Patagonia. It's heavy, which I expected from a synthetic at this price range. But it's hard to overstate how bulky this thing is. Maybe it was my bag, but this was a real pain to pack. However, for the price, you can excuse that. What I can't excuse is the dishonesty in the temperature rating. I consider myself about an average sleeper in terms of warmth, but in the teens/twenties, I was wearing almost all of my layers in order to get through the night. I wouldn't dream of taking this into single digits. Save yourself undue frustration and fork over some extra bucks for a better quality bag.

I've taken this bag out for some spring camping in Montana. The 0 degree rating is very real; I sleep warm and I have had to sleep with it partially unzipped. It's heavier and bulkier than an equivalent down bag, but it packs reasonably small in the included stuff sack. I had a little trouble wedging it into the sleeping bag compartment of my pack. It just barely fit. The DWR seems real enough to keep any condensation or moisture from penetrating into the insulation. It's a great bag for the price.

I picked this bag up for $87 on Backcountry. I have only got to use the bag once, but am very pleased. One downfall is that when you finally get it in the stuffsack it is rather cumbersome to fit in your pack. Overall, I can't wait to hike into the winter evening knowing I will be sleeping in this awesome bag.

I love this sleeping bag. Im not a backpacker so it gets plenty small to throw in the Jeep. I was actually suprised at how small it gets, much better than my previous bags. We just went camping and got snowed/hailed and rained on the first night. Temps were around 20 and I stayed very warm. My wife has a 20 degree bag and froze. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone. Especially my wife.
