You get what you pay for

I bought this bag for a recent trip down to Patagonia. It's heavy, which I expected from a synthetic at this price range. But it's hard to overstate how bulky this thing is. Maybe it was my bag, but this was a real pain to pack. However, for the price, you can excuse that. What I can't excuse is the dishonesty in the temperature rating. I consider myself about an average sleeper in terms of warmth, but in the teens/twenties, I was wearing almost all of my layers in order to get through the night. I wouldn't dream of taking this into single digits. Save yourself undue frustration and fork over some extra bucks for a better quality bag.

I have not been to Patagonin - but I have taken this bag up into the mountains where the temp has reached 8 degrees farenheit. It was cold, but I had a 4 season tent and a solid pad. If you are going that cold you are going to need more than the bag to keep you warm. I do admit that it is a bit on the bulky side but it is warm as can be.
