I got this product yesterday, and wanted to test it out. I ordered two because we camp almost every weekend. So I set up Tent outside on my patio (while it was snowing) with my girlfriend. First let me start by saying there was no option for left or right side zipper, so I was VERY impressed to receive one left zipper one right. It was snowing and 20 degrees last night. I did not have a mat for the inside of my bag, but i used a foam one on the outside. I was very very warm. I am new to sleeping bags, and this is my first winter bag, let alone mummy bag. I had read the description and didn't realize what i draft tube was, or a chest collar.
The Chest collar helped immensly. it has a draw string on it, once you complete the circle around your neck with the velcro, you can close the gap to your neck, containing all the heat.
I am 6'2" and 200 pounds, (athletic) and I had plenty of room to move, I even could slide down in the bag more if I wanted, with around 6 or so inches of room. I remember thinking (wow my 6'6" brother could fit in here.)
The Draft tube along the zipper did its job, I felt no cool air seeping in.
The zipper was thick and tough, while it got caught a few times(i was messing around with it) it was pretty easy to go up and down without problems.
Where my head rested was extra cushion and was VERY comfortable, barley need a pillow.
The material is thick and comfortable, i would be comfortable out in the wilderness without any pads, it simply has alot of cushion.
The only thing I have to note - my face was freezing, so while the bag may go to wayyy lower temperatures, i feel as if I would not be able to, maybe im a wuss, then again i didnt pull the bag closed around my head. I simply rolled over in the bag and pushed my face into the bag and warmed up. (lol). I certainly will be using it all winter. I will probably experience colder temperatures in which case i will edit and see how it does around 0 degrees. I am pretty sure it will preform just as well.
Also for anyone who was wondering I was wearing sweat pants, and sweatshirt. Nothing under either, no socks. feet felt warm all night.

Let me tell you my main concern when first purchasing this product. PRICE
I saw -40 deg, and 100 dollars, seemed too good to be true. I ordered assuming I would return because the price was so low, I figured the material would be cheap, things would tear, and problems would erupt.
I was taken when the box came, I had known the bag was large and weighed more than most mummy bags. It rolls up to the size of old school sleeping bags that you tie the rope around (maybe a TAD smaller than them). So I would not exactly advise using it for backpacking. (i camp right out of my car or not far from it) So aside from the size and weight I would highly advise this bag.

I just wanted to say that this is a great bag for the money. The other review was spot on in that there are few bags under $100 that will provide the warmth that this bag does. We just purchased a matching set of high peak 0 deg bags and I was happy with it after our first night at around 40 deg, but my wife was cold and she is now the owner of this -40 deg bag. If she is cold the next time out I may just buy a goat she can sleep next to.

As for the service, it was perfect. Not only did [...] send it Fedex at their expense to get it to us as quickly as possible, they provided great follow-up on the order and added a free LED flashlight and a bag of sweet pea flower seeds to our delivery as a thank you - good business practice in a world that is usually far to busy to remember the importance of personal customer service.

Another great purchase from Amazon.

We highly recommend business with both Amazon, and their affiliation with people like the family owners of [...] goes a long way toward keeping Amazon as the go-to place for online shopping!

I used this bag in the boundry waters of northern MN this week and this is a very warm bag the coldest the temp dropped to was -27 F and this bag did just fine all I was wearing was socks long underwear nylon pants a sweater and hat all of what you should wear when winter camping anyway. many people say this bag will not allow you to fall asleep during cold temps I can say for sure those people have not done alot of winter camping. for anyone it takes 1 or 2 nights for it to click but you will get used to it. Using anybag it is never going to be toasty warm in anything below -20 but is very doable and you can sleep easily after a couple nights. the temp rating is also assuming you have long underwear on a hat and are on a sleeping pad keeping you far enough off of the ground and you will never sleep at what anybag is rated for without extra clothes they will keep you alive but will never sleep. the lowest i would say this bag is sleepable at is -35. I used this bag for 5 nights and again the coldest temp was -27 on the first night and I did fine i woke up to a temp of -15 and was toasty if you are always cold when sleeping buy a bag liner for cheap. you will never beat a down bag as far as weight and warmth but this bag will do the job and it was just fine as far as dragging it in a sled.

This is a really warm sleeping-bag. Very puffy so there seems like little room inside but it's matter of the heat retaining design. Antarctic ready!

This is a warm sleeping bag. Big. Heavy. Warm. Not for hikers. But definitely for those sleeping in cold places.

I did a lot of research on sleeping bags. This bag is hands down one of the best I have seen. And CampingMaxx is excellent to deal with. Fast shipping and confirmations done to ensure your order is shipped. Definitelty will do business with CampingMaxx in the future. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality gear.

this is all what happened the first time time i used it. im 6'4" 250 lbs and this sleeping bag is a little tight on me. i had to struggle to work the slack out so i could zip it. he zipper kept catching and once it cross threaded. the zipper is too small for this bag. the zipper has a pull thread on the outside but not one on the inside where it really needs it. i think a lot of the problems i had with the zipper were because of no pull thread. i tried to sleep with the zipper most of the way up but it kept coming down on its own cause the bag was tight on me. the only way it would have stayed up is if zipped all the way up. it is a warm sleeping bag though. if youre looking for warmth and you have small or medium build it hard to beat for the price.

This product is rated to support -40f ... in a week of trying it in temperature of -10f I was realy cold from the waist down...very disappointed....it is good for temperatures of 10F and above but not below 0f...I think they cheatting people to make them believe...that it take -40 when is far from it...And I think they should return money back

This Bag was terrible!
It weights way to much(about 6 lbs) and occupies a large space, I brought it for a trek in Nepal but I couldn't fit other things in my rucksack (65 litres rucksack) after this sleeping bag, it is way too Big and I don't recommend it.

Also, for people travelling to Nepal, You can get a good rucksack for about $50-60, that is smaller and warm,
I do not recommend this sleeping bag at all!
