MontBell U.L. Super Spiral Hugger #5 Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Down
MontBell UL Down #5

Ranked #138 - 55 to 30 Degree Down Bags

The quality of this bag is top notch. Very little down has been lost coming through the material. A few pieces worked their way out when stuffing the bag into the stuff sack when new.
The lightweight material seems fragile but I have yet to put a tear in the fabric after two years of use.
The temperature rating of 40F seems to be quite reasonable. Most of my use with this bag has been from spring to fall camping on a Therm-a-Rest Deluxe. If it is too warm, it does have a two-way zipper so you can vent by your feet without your core getting cool. I have used it in air temperatures down to 25F with just a single light layer on (sleeping in a non-heated hut in spring time on a thin mattress). Normally, I would not push the temperature limit of the bag that far if I were camping outside on the ground.
At 16oz and packing down to the size of a 1L Nalgene I hardly notice this in my pack.
