Customer Reviews


Excellent Bag

This is an amazing product and it is an absolute steal for the price it's being offered at. I slept outside in 35 degree weather and was completely warm and have yet to take it down closer to 15, but my guess is that it would do just fine. Packs down to a nice, small, compact size that would fit perfectly in most any UL backpack and the stuff sack has a great compression system. The only draw back would be that if you're a big guy, tall or round, it might be a little tight around the knees/chest. This doesn't affect me at all however and I can't believe I got such a great bag at such a low price. Definitely recommend.
