After taking this bag out on a few alpine trips, I have to say that I need a better (warmer) bag. I must admit that my legs get cold when I sleep (even at home), but this was ridiculous. Although the bag does have a draft collar, it does NOT have a draft tube, oops! Needless to say (I love that phrase) this will be the last bag I get that does not have a draft tube.

The first trip was a kayaking trip to Loon Lake where the temps got down to the mid to upper 20's. The cold was unbearable. Even though I was wearing fleece pants, two fleece tops, and socks, I still had to pile every piece of clothing, fabric, rope, drytop, wetsuit, etc. over my body and legs to stay warm. I never did sleep, I just laid awake all night shivering, for two nights.

The second trip was a fishing trip to Eagle Lake (where I limited out with some nice Eagle Lake trout). The temps dipped down to the low to mid 40's. While wearing fleece pants, TNF TKA 100 top, and an Icebreaker 260 top, I still managed to be cold. I finally threw a towel over my legs to get through the night.

I like the sleeping bag, but it just doesn't deliver on the temp rating. It is soft and cozy, yet big enough for me to roll around in (I am a side sleeper, 5'-8", 130lbs). The 20 degree rating may only apply to those people that can walk around all winter in shorts.

I own the regular size.

I got two of these. They look great, but are sized for the new breed of superhumans. I bought medium, but they fit more like large or XL. Buy a size smaller than you need unless you want to look like you are wearing your older brother's hand-me-downs. My two shirts, sadly, will be returning to the caring hands at Backcountry.
