I bought the bag for its light weight and temperature range for where I hike (timberline level and slightly above). I was suprised how well I slept in the bag even though it was a mummy and more confining than anything I've ever slept in. I liked the collar drawstring(elastic) and the hood drawstring. I am 5' 10.5" and I wouldn't recommend the regular size for anyone over 5'11". It got to freezing the first night (shoe laces where hard) and I was cold and had to put on my down coat and extra socks and my legs were still cold. It didn't get to freezing the second night and I still needed my down coat stuck down in around my feet (which is a good place to keep it anyway). I do think that I get colder than most people, especially in the extremities and especially since I have no extra fat (yay low starch diet!) but I was suprised at this occuring at the 32 degree level and above. The Western Mountaineering company has an option for $16 where they will stick in another 2 oz.s of down. Would I buy the bag again? Yes! I would also hike with a pair of long underwear from now on whenever I use this bag.
