This sleeping bag is great. My son uses it for his boy scout campouts. It packs well and is lightweight. It is extremely comfortable. I suggest pairing it with a Big Agnes pad as it has a special sleeve made for it.

I have read a lot of reviews stating that this bags temp rating is wrong.While I could see this bag rated at 20, I think saying that it is really a 35 degree bag is just incorrect. It happened to be a cold spell for this time of year in TN (got down to 24 as the low) so I thought I would test it out. I set up my msr hubba hubba in the back yard and slept in the big agnes bag with a thermarest in the pad slot. Because of the negative reviews in regard to the temp rating I chose to start my slumber in smart wool adrenaline socks, skin 150 icebreaker leggings, a poly blend tshirt, over that a light poly pro, and lastly a smart wool beanie. In no time the polypro came off. I was toasty!
We love the Big Agnes Sleeping System. I purchased this bag for my son as my older son and husband have this exact bag and love it. It is extremely warm, compressible, and comfortable. I suggest buying the insulated Big Agnes pad that slips into the bottom sleeve. It is just a great all around down bag.
"Great bag for the Money. Light and compressible, lots of room also"

I don't think I could have picked a better bag in this price range for the temperature rating I was looking at. The built in sleeve for the pad in genius! I have an insulated Exped pad I use with it and is awesome. The bag is a hybrid type, not as tight fitting as a mummy but also not as big and heavy as a rectangular. Perfect. I can sleep on my side or on my stomach with this combo. Highly recommended.

OK. So I can't freaking sleep at all in a mummy bag. Even after 15 miles or so of hiking. Just can't do it. Sound familiar? This is your bag. Super roomy and comfortable. Sleeping pad pouch is genius for sleepers like me who flop around all night like a fish. Very compressable and light for a semi-rectangular bag too. Seriously, this thing is freaking awesome.

I was going to get a mummy bag, but my girlfriend insisted on getting a larger bag so she could move around and do the fetus thing if she wanted to. I got her a Big Agnes. So, I got THIS bag (with the zipper on the right side) so that it would zip up to hers. All I can say is THIS BAG IS AWESOME! Plenty of room, warm (but not TOO warm, for summer camping), matches up great with hers, and STILL looks as cool as those true mummy bags. The integrated pad sleeve keeps the pad in place making this bag the closest thing to a bed in the woods that you can get! Takes up very little space in my bag.

I've taken this thing from the Grand Teton,Joshua Tree, Zion, and my grandma's and I love it. The integrated sleeve is huge for gettin the best sleeping position, especially when you're fighting cramps from climbing and biking. Removing the useless padding from the bottom cuts the weight, packs as big as my big agnes insulated air core pad (which is a must buy along with this, and yes get the insulated air core). There's nothing like a night with Big Agnes, not to mistaken with Big Angus.

I bought the long size of this sleeping bag for my 6 foot husband and he loves it. It is warm and comfortable. He uses the BA long Air core insulated pad with it in the sleeve on the bottom. It prevents rolling off the pad. It compresses down in the backpack very well. BA has great products.
I just couldn't get used to a regular mummy bag so I decided to give this a try.This is a very comfortable bag. Along with an inflatable air pad, which is a requirement of this bag, it sleeps much more like a bed than sleeping bags you are used to. You can lie on your back or sides without the bag moving, leaving a comfortable night's sleep.The bag is rated at +15 but this depends quite a bit on which pad you use. I had a regular Big Agnes Air Core pad originally. One night it got into the mid 30s while I was camping and it got a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearable. I've upgraded to the Insulated Air Core pad and it stays much warmer at night.
"great bag, used it in temps below 15 degrees with no problem"

this bag has held up great. I have used this in a lean-to, tent and on the ground with no lose of down or warmth. bag compacts nice and resists dog paws(Traveller always gets on the bag first). recommend the Big Agnes pad to go into the sleeve.
I bought this bag (and a dual core pad to go with it). I am a bigger guy at 6'2" 230. My brother uses The north Face blue Kazoo but it is too small for me. I need some room to toss and turn. This bag has 8 or 9 inches more width then the standard mummy bags but weights about the same and takes up about the same room in my backpack. I was a little worried about not having any insulation on the bottom but I stay as warm as could be with the Big Agnes Dual core pad in the sleeve. Having the pad in the sleeve keeps the bag on the pad no matter how much I move around. I love the design. This is buy far the best bag and pad I have ever had I have never sleep so well in a tent.
