Ultralight and Great

By Joshua Ranked #773 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags December 1, 2008

Used it out in the desert last weekend. Temperatures were in the low 30's and I didn't feel cold at all. It worked very well with my Therm-a-rest Prolite 4 (regular) mattress. One concern was how the straps would work and how durable they would be. So far no problems at all. I keep the "clamp" or "buckle" part of the straps near the bags eyelets. This makes it easy to adjust and get out of the bag. The amount of room it allows all depends on how tight you have the straps tightened. Another concern was not having a "hood" to put my head in for warmth like a mummy bag typically provides. I didn't have a problem there either as my head was never cold. If my head did get cold, I would just put on a ski cap and problem solved. One thing I did learn is not to put the sleeping pad into the lower portion where you feet are "cocooned." You'll have too much tension and could possibly rip the sleeping bag. Keep that portion above the pad and you'll be fine. Great product and I highly recommend it.
