The North Face Hightail Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
The North Face Hightail 900 15-Degree Down Sleeping Bag culminates The North Face's quest for the lightest, warmest down, and down-proof sleeping bag technology. Incredibly comfortable, ultralight, and toasty warm, the Hightail is part of The North Face's backpacking Flight Series. The North Face starts with ultralight 15 denier ripstop HelioLite ripstop nylon (one of the lightest downproof materials in existence) and fills it with 900 fill Eastern European goose down—the lightest, most efficient down on the market. The 'rippled' baffle-construction evenly distributes the Hightail's 900-fill down for maximum warmth and prevents the insulation from shifting side to side, creating cold spots. The one-third-length zipper features a draft tube to seal in warm air, as well as a no-snag stiffener in the zipper column. You'll be hard-pressed to find a warmer, lighter, more comfortable 15-degree sleeping bag. The Hightail 900 includes a nylon/mesh storage bag for storing around the house and a stuff sack for backpacking.
Bottom Line: The culmination of 3-season, ultralight, down-filled sleeping bags.

This is a great bag. It is incredibly light weight and the loft of the fill is unbelievable. A 2 way full zip would give better functionality, but I have learned to live with the 3/4. No problem using this down to 15 degree's.
How should I decide if I need a left zipper vs. Right Zipper
How should I decide if I need a left zipper vs. Right Zipper bag? It's never been a big deal to me.

If it's not a big deal, then just pick one.Well either one will work. The correct answer is if you are right handed get a left zip and if you are left handed get a right zip. The reason for this is it is easier to reach across your body to unzip/zip the bag.

Reviewing the long.
Will burn you up over 50f.
Half zip needs to be at least a 3/4 zip, too short.
Hip a little narrow.
If you're a big person, 200-220lb, 6'. It will not do for anything above 50f.
If it's cold, this bag is awesome at 2lbs. Use a good pad, I think the down on the backside is a little thin. At a minimum, fluff it nightly to prevent bare spots on the back. The 80 fill fluffs incredibly well, but don't neglect it.
Yes, nice small sil bag. Not a compression sack but still gets it really small.
