Kelty Light Year Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down
Cold weather only!

This sleeping bag is definitely designed only for cold weather. I used it on Mt. Kilimanjaro and it was perfect, but when it came to my safari right after it was way too hot. There is a zipper at the foot of the sleeping bag that is supposed to provide a little ventilation. I used it to stick my feet out, but it was still too hot. The zipper only zips halfway down the bag. So I couldn't even open the bag all the way and use the top flap as a blanket. It was either in the bag or out. Good for cold weather only!

You shouldn't give this bag a 3 out of 5 for being too warm. It is a 0 degree bag, that is exactly what it is designed to do. There are no bags on the market that are designed to be warm in the cold weather and cool in the hot weather. When you rate a product, you should give it a rating based on what it was designed for; in this case, cold weather, and it sounds as if you had no complaints there.
