 Can't beat it!Sep 22, 2009
By dnicely
I decided to give this a try even though I could not find any information on the web about them.
The short version is, this is an excellent bag and you would have to spend over $100 to get a better one.
its well made and so far has been very warm in sub 50'F temps. I would not hesitate to use this at its 30' rating. It has all the same features as the rest of the bags on the market. Its comfy and very light, Although I would not really call it ultralight, but since it compresses down so small, it fits my needs just fine.
the guy holding it in the picture must have massive hands! its not quite that small unless you spend an hour compressing it.
But, Its small enough just by stuffing it into the compression sack and synching up the straps, I can fit this, with the rest of my gear into my 3000ci pack. So I really don't care if its half a pound heavier than the $100 bags.
The compression straps are slightly different than the photo. But otherwise, The description on amazon is accurate.
I had no problem getting the bag back into the stuff sack and I was not afraid to pull as hard as possible on the compression straps. Although I found that its not necessary to compress it very much, Its good to know Its built well. If you really wanted to save another ounce or two, you could do away with the compression straps alltogether.
Once in the stuff sack, it only measures 14x7 then it only compresses down to 12x7 (maybe smaller)
UPDATE: (10-4-2010)
I've had this bag over a year now and used it more than a dozen times in various situations and conditions. The more I use it, the more I love it.
The coldest I've used it was lower 30's on a boat. The temp inside the boat was maybe 34. I was fine sleeping in shorts, socks and a long sleeve shirt. I've slept outside in a tent in low to mid 40's with no issues. I would still completely trust it in 30 degree's with a tent (and some wool socks!). I've also slept comfortably in mid-to-upper 60's outside, as well as room temps indoors.
The stuff sack and compression straps have held up just fine, and I don't foresee any problems in the near future.
Still a great bag that should easily last several years.
UPDATE: (02-01-2012)
Still using this bag after 2.5 years. I haven't gone backpacking in a while, but, it's winter, and I live on a boat full time. It gets cold sometimes... This bag is too hot for most nights in sub 40 degree temps inside the boat. But it's come in very handy on those below freezing nights. during the summer, it was a pleasure to sleep on-top of, because of the coolness of the extremely soft shell.
It's still in excellent condition after 2.5 years. Most of the past year it has been tossed around, stuffed into lockers, slept upon, and generally used as extra padding in the bunk. The only problem I've had is one of the zipper tags broke off. But, it's no big deal since there are two zipper tags, I just use the other one (the one on the inside of the bag) instead.
I still love this bag and consider one of the best deals in this market. If this one ever falls apart (which is highly unlikely), I'd just buy another one. I would never pay more for a sleeping bag again, unless I really needed 0 degree protection, or sub 20 degree comfort.
Can't recommend it enough.

Serious AbuseApr 08, 2010
By Brant Copen
I have owned this bag for almost a year now. I have taken it on countless trips (countless equals 10 to 20) including Sedona, the Grand Canyon, the Superstition Wilderness, and Coon Creek. I have used it in temperatures ranging from 28 to 70 degrees F. I have kicked it, squished it, sat on it, soaked it, and covered it in campfire sparks and so far it shows no sign of wear.
It is a very light, small bag; though not as small as the picture makes it seem (look at the customer pictures to get a better idea). It takes some effort to get it into the stuff sack - usually takes about five minutes. It is very light; I think the Amazon description is right about the weight.
This bag did not keep me comfortable below 40 degrees F, though at 40 and above it was quite nice. I ended up getting a silk liner for it, and that made it tolerable down to 28, though it was still a little chilly. The zipper, collar, and hood configuration are convenient and comfortable, but the zipper does stick sometimes. One of the best features about this bag is its ability to dry. My camelback bladder emptied into my pack once at the beginning of the day and completely soaked everything inside. When I took out my bag at night, I was devastated because it was 35 degrees and the wind was howling like mad. I turned it inside out and hung it on a tree and it was dry in less than five minutes! It was awesome.
In summary, this bag is a little bigger than the Amazon description, the zipper sticks sometimes, and by itself it's only good down to 40 degrees; however, it is very durable, comfortable, lightweight, and super cheap. Definitely recommended.

 Good but not greatJan 22, 2010
By Colin R. Petty
The sleeping bag itself is great. Its tall, it cinches around your face, it has a pocket inside with a zipper, it's warm, it's light.
BUT, as soon as I got it, I took it out of the box and saw that it wasn't compressed. I wanted to show my sister how the compression sack worked but as I started to pull on the second strap, the cheap plastic buckle snapped into 3 pieces. I couldn't believe it. I was leaving on my trip in a week and had no time to return it for a new one. I just tied that strap into a knot and it seemed to work alright.
So, #1 great bag
#2 cheap plastic buckles that break when you pull on them
My recommendation is to get the bag because it's great but when compressing, pull slowly a little at a time on each strap as you turn the bag. If you do that, it really does get as small as the picture.
Oh, and you don't have to roll up the bag to get it in the sack. Just jam it in, it works without a lot of effort.

a good deal but check sizeSep 18, 2009
By Doug S. Sikora
"Harley Road King Custom Rider"
excellent bag for the $$
packs up extremely small and light. The picture with the hand holding it up is for real.
I am 5'10 and about #200 my shoulders go wide and when zipped all the way up, well it will zip but is a tight fit
In my case I will be using this bag for motorcycle camping so it's small size and lightweight were determining factors.
I will be using this bag in warmer weather so I don't see a need to zip all the way up so I am keeping the bag. and am happy with it.

Taken aback!Jan 07, 2010
By Brian T. Alexander
This product is just what i have been looking for. I am an avid MTN climber and hiker. the image on amazon is the exact same as the product i received. it is very well made, it really is as small as the picture. Before purchasing this product i read all the reviews as you are now. i have already recommended this product to a couple of my friends and my dad. i bought this bag because of its low costs compared to comparable bags of $250 or more. you definitely get your moneys worth. i have had no problems getting the bag back into the compression sack and making it as small as the picture. it fits into my 3400 just like i wanted. as for warmth it suits my needs just fine. the 30 degree rating is accurate. i am planning on using this bag on my trip to climb Ben Nevis in scotland this winter. it is made in the USA if that concerns you. the materials are top notch. however if you are planning on using the bag at 0 degree temps i would recommend you get a silk or better, a merino liner. another neat trick is to crack open a few hot hands body warmers and toss them into the bottom of the bag (2 should do it). this gives you the extra heat output to keep you toasty through the night. I am 152 lbs 5',10'' athletic build. the bag is light weight but as others have said i would not call it Ultralite. hope this helps.
