Tested to -12F...I'm alive!

This has been a great sleeping bag for winter camping! I took this out on one of the coldest days of the year in McCall Idaho. I set up my tent in the middle of the lake on a patch of ice and hunkered down. The low temp that night was -12F and I slept comfortably through the night! I matched this bag with a good thick sleeping pad, and some North Face Tent Booties to keep my feet warm.
The face gasket is very functional and allows for easy breathing. I tend to turn alot during the night, but didn't run into any issues getting the hood/gasket adjusted. The cords are easy accessible and you can cinch them down quite nicely around your face. (very useful for keeping the heat in)
I haven't had any issues with the zipper so far. Compared to other sleeping bags I have, this one is very smooth and rarely ever catches.
So far, I am very happy with my purchase and would suggest this bag to anyone else looking for a good winter sleeping bag!
