First off I am one of those who believe that the less clothing you wear the warmer your bag becomes and the more comfortable you become, not so with this bag. I tried this bag out on two separate occasions. First trip I used it with the REM pad on a cot. Every time I moved my feet I found cold spots. Second night I wore socks this seemed to help out. Second thing I am a side sleeper and have always liked my bag to move with me, at least I thought the reason for the Mummy bag is for your face to be the only thing exposed to maintain warmth. Well Big Agnes doesn't do this unless you maintain the supine position all night, when I moved to my side I ended up breathing into the side of the bag, kinda hard to cinch down the hood for us side sleepers to. The only thing I could come up with for the next trip was using a liner, kinda defeats the purpose of the bag I think. So, if you are a motionless sleeper that can maintain the position of a corpse for 5-8 hours, or you do not mind the moisture of respiration soaking the bag by morning this might just be for you. Oh, and forget using a Crazy Creek or it's equal, sitting up in the bag can't happen. You can't even pull it down below the armpits to keep the bottom half warm, the mat idea stops this from happening. It is roomy though, which to me means more dead air space for your body to warm up and less use of valuable insulation. Might make a good base camp bag.
