Mountain Hardwear Switch 5 Sleeping Bag: 5 Degree Synthetic
Love it.

Ranked #78 - 25 to 5 Degree Synthetic Bags

I cycle through gear like mad. After two seasons I still love this bag and am not looking for a replacement, and that says a lot. LOVE the expander, I have a broad chest and mummy bags are just too restrictive, this strikes a very nice balance and puts the bag in a class of it's own. It's super adjustible with seperate drawstrings for the top and bottom draft collar, and hood. The zipper is awesome, it is long enough to get in and out of the bag comfortably. If you open the two way zip from the bottom to vent if you get too warm in the night, the cool air doesn't come in right on your feet - zip goes to about the ankles. The synthetic fill might not compress as well as down, but I don't have to worry about moisture (outside sources, sweat or what naturally escapes the body) eliminating the insulating properties. MH did great with this bag.
