Summary:
I've had my bag for 3+ years now. From single digit temps to 60 degrees. I've always stayed plenty warm. And I'm a cold sleeper. I've noticed a bit of loft loss of late which I thought was surprising. It's always stored according to the manufacter so maybe it's normal after nearly 4 years. Like the dryloft but moisture does seem to get trapped beneath it on the coldest nights. Its also a bit noisy, sounding like your in a giant diaper. But I'll take that over being damp and cold any night. Zipper snags a fair bit on the draft flap. Other than that no complaints!

Summary:
I recently spent a cold, windy night at 11,600 feet on Mt Adams Washington. My Ramses Drtloft sleeping bag performed flawlessly. Its warmth, weight and packability ensures that it will find a place in the bottom of my pack on almost any adventure

Summary:
I just bought a Cascade Designs Hibernator. I'm 6'3" and 220 lbs. I like the flex design. I put a pillow right inside the bag and can sleep on back, side, or stomach. As a stomach sleeper, I can fit my arms over my head inside the bag. The quality seems good and the fabric is comfortable. But I've only had the bag a week and I'm taking it back. The bag is rated a 0 degree bag but I'm getting cold starting at about 30 degrees. I think it should be rated a 35 degree bag. I also think the bag is expensive for what you get.

Summary:
A great bag. Like every MH products this bag is wonderful. Mountain Hardware quality is evident everywhere. This bag dries quickly and is light. Very comfertable and keeps me warm when the temp is cold and not too warm during the summer.
