 Eureka bag is compact and a great bargainNov 07, 2008
By CarolinaGuy
I had four requirements when searching for a sleeping bag for a recent camping trip. The bag needed to be compact, light, moderately priced, and warm. The first three this bag passed with flying colors but the fourth it came up a little short. Based on the price and reviews I choose this Eureka bag and overall I was impressed. The bag is light and the stuff sack works great plus it fits nicely into the lower pocket of my hiking backpack. The bag itself feels nice and it has a few touches like a Velcro strap to hold the zipper handle and an internal pocket that makes it feel like a more expensive product. As far as warmth goes it did pretty well. On my trip the first night it got down into the mid 30's and the bag kept me warm. The second night it got down to about freezing and I woke up early in the morning a little chilly. I grabbed a couple of hand warmers, tossed them in the bag and I was warm again. The 15 degree rating may be overly optimistic but I would say that if you are going to be in above freezing temps then this bag will be fine. However if you will be getting into much colder temps you may want to invest in a higher end goose down bag.
I could see this bag being tight around the shoulders if you are a bigger guy/girl. I'm 6'2 and about 170 lbs and the bag fit me fine. I actually went with the long but it is a little too long... I would have been better off with the regular. Also, I would recommend paring any sleeping bag with a light weight pad (preferably self-inflating) to help with comfort and warmth.

 sleeping bag reviewNov 03, 2007
By C. Kirby
The Eureka Casper sleeping bag is excellent. It is warm, light weight and compact. It is a great bag for camping or backpacking. The included compression sack allows it to fit into an internal frame backpack. It is large enough for an adult to fit into but small and light enough for a youth to easily carry. It satisfies the temperature rating and makes staying warm enough possible. To receive these qualities at the affordable price was amazing.

good sleeping bag, bad amazonMay 07, 2009
By A. Bean
I would not have purchased this bag from amazon except i had a gift certificate. When i got the bag, the manufacture date was well over a year ago which means it had been stuffed in it's stuff sack for at least a year which is by any account not good for the temperature rating of this bag. Other than that, it's a great bag for the price/weight/size.

+ Can unzip a bit and let the arms out
+ zipper never unzipped in the middle of the night
- 2 way zipper starts at knees (read: no feet vent)
+ has its own compression bag to carry
- the pillow easily easily falls out of the pocket for it

Nice for the priceApr 13, 2009
By Richard C. Schott
Nice bag with nice features. I'm 6'-3" 240 lbs, if you're bigger or wider than me, don't buy this bag! I manage but it's not roomy around the arms/chest.
I've tested this bag pretty thoroughly. I tried it with a nice sleeping pad and *no* wind at 20F, I was comforable at first but started to chill enough to wake me up about 5 hours in. Don't get me wrong, if you're protected from wind and moisture and have a good sleep pad, at 15F you'll probably live, but not quite comfy. Still this is a backpacking sleeping bag, and most people don't choose to backpack in winter conditions. If you have to, put on a couple layers of expedition-weight polypro, a couple pair of wool socks and a balaclava and you'll have no trouble meeting or exceeding that +15f rating.
As reported by others, it fits well in the sleeping bag compartment of my pack. Comes with a very nice, effective compression sack. I bought the Long and there's plenty of length for my height.
What else to say? If it was down it would be either half the size (when compressed), or 20F warmer, and at least twice the price. Also, because this is a synthetic bag, it dries much faster than a down bag, and works better when damp. To an extent "you get what you pay for" but on it's own this is a nice, 3-season backpacking sleeping bag, which I'd have no problem recommending to others. Tempted to buy the similar 0-bag and +30 bag in the same series!
