This bag
is excellent if you can sleep without moving your feet or knees a millimeter. Also the zipper is funky. I end up turning the whole thing sideways and using it like a quilt with my feet stuck in the tiny footbox. It is small and light however, and I end up sleeping on top of the bag if it's above freezing anyway, so I keep using it sometimes. It was great for rifugi summer before last.

Untitled ReviewAt only 1lb 8oz I love how small and light it is. I used it heading up to Long's Peak and combined with my other weight saving pieces of gear I was very happy with my pack weight.
I have slept in 35 degree weather in a tent with a pad and base layers and was fine but when I slept in a bivy with a pad with base and fleece layers I was cold so I would stick with the 45F rating.
Don't expect this bag to stay dry in any type of moist conditions however. There is not one ounce of water resistance designed into this bag.
I have had it for two years an so far so good on durability but of course if you buy it at REI durability is a moot point with their 100 percent warrenty.
