Summary:
The $129.00 was for the -15 Downright Voyager, I spent about 90.00 for the 0 rated Voyager.

I have no problem with the 0 rated or the -15 rated bags Downright sells - except for their ratings. I was okay this past weekend in the 0 rated bag with recorded tent interior temps at 33 degrees. My son was warm in the -15 rated bag, BUT we had another down bag over us both - comforter fasion, and we were both wearing capilene bottoms and fleece tops. I have used the 0 bag previously with similar results.

I think Downright should add about 35 degrees to the ratings of both their well made and reasonably priced bags.

If you really NEED a bag for -15 or 0 temps, these won't cut it.

Summary:
This affordable lightweight down sleeping bag has performed well with little drawbacks. I have had it for 2 years now and have never slept cold in it. I went camping in the Sierras in Feb. when temps were down to 15 degrees. I had no problem staying toasty warm in this sleeping bag. There is room enough for my 6'3" frame in this bag, with room to spare. There have been a few minor material repairs I have made to bag where stiching had come loose, but other than that no problems with workmanship. I highly reccommend this bag to those starting out or who are on a budget. The bang for buck is great.
