Great choice

This bag is the best of what I was looking for.
I wanted a synthetic bag, because down is got only by plucking live birds or killing them...something I wasnt ready to sacrifice for lighter weight
So then I was in a tough situation, because synth bags are known for bulk and weight. The staff at backcountry.com helped me find this.
The longest bag is very warm when paired with the 15* diversion sleeping pad and it packs down to about 12 by 8 inches in a stuff sack (you will need a compression sack to compress it down to a manageable size).
For its degree rating and quality, it was the smallest pack and wieght size I could find, exactly what I wanted.
There is almost enough room in one to fit a cozy couple, and when my girl got a matching bag to zip into mine, we had more room than we thought we could for camping.
Im stoked with this bag.
