I took this bag camping with me in my SUV. The temps got well below 20 degrees, so cold that the cooler full of drinks and food we had froze solid before we went to sleep and was all thawed with no ice when we got there. I never started my 89 suburban because i wanted to be able to give an accurate review on this bag. I stayed totally warm and comfortable in this bag wearing only cheap hanes long john pants and shirt from wal mart.. The only problem i have with it is that i have very wide shoulders and my shoulders touch the outsides of the bag. I am exchanging this for the Bighorn Bx for an extra 4" in the shoulder area. I am hoping this will fix the problem. other than the size problem it is a 5 star bag. very light and packs down to a tiny size. I would recommend this bag to anyone that wears an XL shirt and under. anything bigger and you want a bag with bigger shoulder circumference. Great product for the value.

Wow; for this price, I don't know if you can get anything better. My friend got a bag that was probably 50 dollars more from The North Face, and I can't imagine that it afforded him more comfort than I got. If you're looking for something basic that will do the job very well without all the bells and whistles (that I believe many times aren't necessary), go for this sleeping bag!

Recently purchased the bag for a trip in northern california and the oregon coast. I never once did get cold in this bag, but I have yet to put those capabilities to the test. It was immensely comfortable. I'm 5'9'' and got a regular, no problems. It packs easily and is light. So, for 80 bucks it's totally worth it, even if you sleep on top of it.

I have got an older version of this bag, and while it is one of the cheaper models available, it still works as avertised. Took it on 2-day hike up Mt. Fuji. Instead of dropping the $90 to stay in one of the mountain huts for a night, I slept in this bag out behind one of the huts (no tent). It was a few degrees over freezing, a good steady 20mph wind, foggy and rather damp but with just a baselayer and some lightweight pants on under this bag, I was very warm.

I am 6-1 170-ish lbs and the long size fit me perfect.

No complaints overall, but I was not in the most strenuous of conditions to realy extoll this bag and give it a 5-star rating...

I purchased the long bag because i am 6'4" and it fits great. If you like to have very little room from your waist down, this would be a good bag. Otherwise, because i am thrasher in the night, and the leg room is limited, i would prefer more width. On the other hand, i would much rather carry a bag on a backpacking trip with less room inside that weights less, than a bag with more room that weights more. All of the times i have used the bag, I have either been warm or overheating; it definitely is a bag that will keep you warm and sometimes too warm. Overall it serves its' purpose and sometimes goes above and beyond its' purpose. If you are looking for a light, warm, and cozy bag, than you have clicked on the right one!

I got the long for a basic bag for kicking around. 20 degrees, or below freezing, is what you should really use for a standard for bags, and this will protect you to 20 degrees, with layering of clothing. The bag is also short (at least in the long), because Im at that 6 foot 6 inch mark and it was a bit snug. Its pretty much as long as you will find though. Good basic bag. Can't rate it higher because it really isnt anything special.

I don't know how degree ratings work so take that into account, but I was lucky I brought a liner with me. Plus I had 3 layers on. It's only been on one trip, High Uintas for 4 days/3 nights in August, must be between 30-40 degrees at night. There is nothing special about this bag and if I knew I was still going to be that cold, I would have got something lighter.

This sleeping bag is light, compresses easily, and has a ton of extra features that keep it warm and cozy. However, the North Face logo on this bag is just a screenprint that will wear off...I was surprised because everything else I've ever owned from TNF has been embroidered. I guess you get more than you pay for in this bag, but if you're paying for the name, look elsewhere because the name will rub off!
