Summary:
Got this bag on sale at REI. Its fantastic. Very lofty, not too heavy for the the warmth and very comfy. It doesn't compress as small as I would like but I don't know how small a typical size long 0 degree bag gets. I will say that I am 6'4" and its plenty long enough. I wouldn't mind a bit more room in the shoulders for shifting positions at night.
As for warmth, we camped in a crappy tent at 14 degrees. Woke up and all the water in the tent was frozen solid and my wife and I were cozy with just long underwear on in the bag. She has the same bag in a womens. Also, they can zip together if you get a righty and a lefty.

Customer Service:
REI is the best ever!

Summary:
Excellent bag for the price. The bag is extremely warm and lofty. It also comes with features like a place to stuff clothes in to act as a pillow and straps on the back to strap your sleeping pad to so you dont roll off of it. The compression bag it comes with is handy since this bag is very lofty. It is a little heavy (4lbs I think) but for the price and warmth, you cant beat it in the winter. I bought during their January clearance sale that they always have. I would gladly pay regular price though as it is a great bag.

Customer Service:
