Pretty Cool

This is a really good looking sleeping bag. Unfortanately it didn't live up to my expectations. I wanted it to keep me comfortable at around 20-25 degrees (it has a comfort rating of 16 degrees, so I didn't think this was an unreasonable expectation). I took it on a climbing trip to joshua tree this february. I think it was in the 40's at night. While I wasn't necessarily cold, I wasn't really warm enough to sleep either. I was in the very annoying limbo between being cold, and almost comfortable. I really wanted to like this bag cause it is really cool, but it didn't quite cut it for me. I have a harder time staying warm at night than most people, so don't assume you will have this problem too. The zipper is kind of a pain, but I could have lived with that. I did find that it was quite warm when I first got in, which I thought was impressive. I slept in thermals and had a good pad under me, so I don't think either of those were my problem. It didn't keep me comfortable, but I still give it 4 stars because it is such a nice bag aside from that.
