I bought this bag for my girlfriend. The day that she got it was the day that she fell in love with me. My girlfriend is skinny so she gets cold easily, but in this bag it comes her really warm. Has nice little compartment for whatever item you would like to store for the night. Overall a really nice bag to use.
She says it's warm and cozy. I'm a bit more loyal to down fill and this uses a Thermic Micro fill, whatever that is. She loves it, but if you have any concerns I would just look up reviews on Thermic Micro fill.
The zipper will instantly get stuck while zipping or unzipping. It does have a zipper protector (I am not real big on technical terms), but that just gets in the way and is basically the main reason for the jam. It isn't down, so that right there constitutes tons of sweating, which in turn makes you super cold in the morning. And makes a huge opening in the possibility of getting pneumonia from a sleeping bag while backpacking. It was summer and it obviously kept me warm, but I would NOT recommend this bag. Nope, stay away!
I took this camping for the first time in the Blue Ridge Mountains over halloween weekend, and got to test it out in some cold temperatures right away. Temps were in the mid 30's over night; I was sleeping in a hammock so I was much more open to the cold air and I stayed toasty warm all night. I was pretty layered up, but I am a cold sleeper usually so I was pleasantly surprised that I stayed so warm. Plus the material was so silky soft, it was lovely. The draft collar was a dream, it worked great didn't make me feel claustrophobic. I cannot wait to get some serious use out of this bag now!
Got one of these for my partner before a trip to Tasmania a while back... Missed the fact that the women's version is much shorter than the men's! Luckily I'm short so I have landed hers.Bag is super warm and packs small... Not much more to be asked for really.
I used this on my first overnight hike. The temps got down to about 35 and I was warm. I am a cold sleeper which is why I got a 20 instead of a 35 rating. I love that this compresses small enough to fit in the bottom of my Camelbak Fourteener. It compressed to about half the size of my friend's sleeping bag that didn't even have insulation on the bottom. The zipper did catch once but it was fixed easy enough. The color is also a lot prettier in person.
"This bag hasn't disappointed me yet!! Highly recommend it!"

I bought this Mountain Hardwear Lamina sleeping bag this summer from Moosejaw and have used it many times since then. Not only does it hold the heat in even better than it claims, but it's form fits perfectly on a woman's figure. But the best part of this bag is how warm it keeps the feet with its shape. It's the perfect temperature for spring, summer AND fall. It even works as a warm blanket for your bed if you live in a cold college house like me. I highly recommend it!
"Light weight and good sleeping bag for anytime of the year except for mid winter."

I bought this for a friend who has been using it on outings throughout the year.It is very light and also packs very small in the stuff sack supplied.The zippered pocket by the shoulder for valuables is nice.The two way zippers make it easy to adjust the temperature on warm nights.The extra foot room makes it feel roomy, and the extra inslation around the shoulders and neck keep the cold out.The Lamina 20 is very warm and comfortable except for those nights were the temperature drops below freezing. You diffinately need a fleece liner when the temperature drops this low. All in all, I think this is a wonderful sleeping bag.
"functional features and cozy. great bag!"

This bag has it all!Spacious enough to allow movement but still keeps you cozy.Smooth full two-way zipper. Small but functioning draft tube. Could be bigger. No issues with the draft tube and zipper getting caught on each other. Deep hood at top!Face hole can be cinched tighter from the outside. Two small pockets (1 zipper, 1 velcro) inside near face. Front and back draft collar that velcros together on zipper side and can be cinched with the drawstring from the inside of the bag. I love this collar! Small loops on outside of bag at the foot area. Add a string and it's perfect for hang storing. So cozy. I sleep cold but I have taken this out in freezing temps and been fine!
