I found this an excellent bag a few weeks ago when camping with my son on a Boy Scouts campout. The temperature dropped into the low 20s F and I was warm all night. I was able to cinch up the opening so just my face was exposed. It's roomy enough to be comfortable sleeping as I like to be able to move my legs around a fair amount.

This was used in the mountains and was a fairly cold night in November. The first night my feet were cold, but the next night I wrapped my feet in my coat in the bottom of the bag and wasn't cold at all and slept through the night. I will be camping again this coming weekend and am going to give these hand warmers a try.Porta Brace Polar Heat Packs, Disposable Chemical Hand & Equipment Warmers, Pack of Twelve. The bag is an awesome value. I'm using it at around 6,000+ ft. and it is 20-30 degrees at night.

My son took it out on his first Boy Scout campout last weekend. Temps dropped into the mid-upper 20's. I wasn't on the campout but he said he stayed plenty warm. The stuff sack works great too, no more trying to roll a bag and put a strap around it...just stuff it in and pull the draw-string. So far so good.

I've used this bag twice now and am happy with the purchase. I have slept out side under the stars down to 30 degrees so far and had the following observations. My feet were nice and warm all night. I started sleeping without sweat paints but later in the night felt I needed them to keep warm. I'm 46 so I will get colder at night then someone in their 20's. I very much doubt you would want to sleep in this bag in 0 degree weather, 15 degrees seems more realistic.

The only issue I have seen so far is that the zipper can snag on the lining, this is a stupid over sight from the manufacturer. A simple strip of stiffer fabric would have prevented this issue.

On the plus side you get a lot for the money, to soon to tell about long term build quality. I felt for a mummy bag it offered a good amount of movement space. Over all happy, I think I could have spent 2 to 3 times the price for the same quality.

We purchased this for our Boy Scout for his Polar Bear merit badge. Recieved it on time in great condition from Amazon. The kids had to hike 1/2 mile away from the group with a buddy, prepare a camp site, build a fire, cook and then sleep in sub 30 degree temperature with no tent. It kept him warm for the whole night,I'm glad I didn't have to do it. It was well worth the expense.

I first purchased Wenzel sleeping bags from 1979 to 1981. I still have them and they have stood the test of time. Reasonable weight for backpacking and I have never been cold while camping is 30 degree weather. I have not camped in very cold situations. This bag is the same Wenzel quality at a reasonable price. My son loves it for cub scouts, and I know he will carry this bag into adulthood. It is well made and the same if not better quality than my original Wenzels which I still have and use and are as good as new. Great durability.

very warm- was summer camping and used it more as a quilt- just closed it up on the coldest night (maybe around 30) and it was fine (not sure I'd be too happy in it in zero degrees, but I am always cold)- I was used to a down bag so I wasn't expecting it to be so big, but all in all it is great

Bought for my Scout after he complained the Coleman Exponent was cold. He didn't have the same complaint with this bag. Said it kept him warm.
It is a bit smaller which might have smething to do with it as there was not as much air space. This bag would be too small for a tall person though IMO.

I was chilly in this bag on a 50 degree night, there is no way I'd use this in sub-freezing temperatures. But, it's holding up nicely after plenty of use, it's pretty light and good value for a summer bag.

This is the best sleeping bag I've ever slept in. It's durable and light and and keeps me warm when I go camping even when it's freezing cold. And have you ever, ever been camping with a bad bag on a chilly night? Not good, really not good, but this bag is good, it's great, snuggly and comfy and it'll keep you warm as toast.
