I bought this bag and I plan to use it in Mt. Aconcagua (6962m). Is this bag really prepared for temperatures between 0 and -20 degree? I'm used to down bags and don't really know if I should trust this bag or not. Any opinion or comment is more than welcomed!

This all depends on the elevation of your high camp. If this is a "true" -20 degree bag, you should be okay but be prepared to layer. Just to be safe I'd get the NF Dark Star @ the very least, but if it was me making this decision, I would bite the bullet & choose the Western Mountaineering Puma GWS or Marmot CWM EQ. You don't want to cut corners on your cocoon!
