Very Warm Bag!

I took this bag camping with me in my SUV. The temps got well below 20 degrees, so cold that the cooler full of drinks and food we had froze solid before we went to sleep and was all thawed with no ice when we got there. I never started my 89 suburban because i wanted to be able to give an accurate review on this bag. I stayed totally warm and comfortable in this bag wearing only cheap hanes long john pants and shirt from wal mart.. The only problem i have with it is that i have very wide shoulders and my shoulders touch the outsides of the bag. I am exchanging this for the Bighorn Bx for an extra 4" in the shoulder area. I am hoping this will fix the problem. other than the size problem it is a 5 star bag. very light and packs down to a tiny size. I would recommend this bag to anyone that wears an XL shirt and under. anything bigger and you want a bag with bigger shoulder circumference. Great product for the value.
