i hate having a over Bulky pack due to extra wait i don't need, which makes this bag in my opinion ideal for light wait backpacking in cold temperatures. holding my down sleeping bag in on arm and the Climashield Orion in the other there was no comparison to the wait difference. the new material TNF and Climashield put into this bag makes it stuff smaller tighter and much lighter than any down. in fact looking at it (when in stuff sack) next to my Nalgene there isn't that big of a difference. the only complaint i have is that when it does reach twenty or below you might want to cuddle up with a friend because it gets a little chilly. despite that this is still a overall top of the line sleeping bag and is perfect for fall and early-late winter trips around the Appalachian.
