Great Value

I just took this trekking in Nepal for 16 days and was quite toasty down to 10F inside the tent at the coldest (at about 4000 meters). It did a much better job than my old down bag on the warmer nights (half zipped) keeping me at a comfortable temp, too (not half too-warm, half too-cold). I have no doubt I'd be comfortable past 0F in it. Kudos to MHW for including the compression sack and storage sack. A little more head room might have been nice for my pillow, though (we had porters). I have the long version, and it was really nice to have the extra room for a set of clothes and some small battery operated gear (I'm only 5'9") kept warm for the morning in the bag. We had some wet spots on the bags a couple of nights, but no cold spot on the inside I could detect. Compresses well (down to about 10"x12" easily) and is fluffier than I would have expected from synthetic. My wife had an REI Zenith -5 and was comparably warm, though for the same $ her bag is a lot heavier, and doesn't pack down nearly as small (and didn't come with a compression sack). I'd buy this one again without reservation, planning to continue using it as my car or without-a-tent bag.
