Made July backpack trip in Cascades. Bag worked fine at lower elevations, but was barely adequate above 7500 ft. Would rate this bag as excellent in more casual camping, but not ready for temperatures below freezing. Regular size fits me at 6 feet, but any taller needs the long size.

This pad works well with Big Agnes sleeping bags. Fits in pocket to keep you centered over the pad without rolling off with the bag. As for filling with air, the pad does take about 20 breathes, so not self inflating.
