I've used this down to 35 degrees and its works pretty good. Drys out fairly quickly when wet. I've used it for everything from 35 degrees to 65 degrees and its held up pretty well over 30 nights or so of use. I always store it hanging or in its oversized loose nylon mesh bag. Insulation has held up well so far.

At 65 it is definitely on the warm side with just boxers on. Gotta keep the bag unzipped and my arms out or I'd be sweating. At 35 I can still use it with just boxers on but its zipped up all the way. Since the review I've used it on a few 15 degree nights and I needed light long underware and a beanie on to stay warm enough. I was using it with an air mattress all the time, so it'd probably be warmer with a closed cell foam mattress.

How is it at 65°? At 35°, did you have to dress differently?
