Summary:
I purchased the Slumberjack Super Packer Magnum -20. It's use is primarily for fall and winter hunting trips here in Montana. The bag is roomy and warm. I am 6'3 and am very thick in the shoulders and I had plenty of room in this bag. It's 90" length also allows for sinking deep in the bag for the extremeley cold nights. A very comfortable bag that will darn sure keep you warm. I would recommend this bag for anyone who needs an oversized bag and who uses it for cold weather. GREAT SLEEPING BAG!!!!!

Summary:
I've read so many marginal reviews (backpacking rages) of this bag, I had to come to its defense.

I've had this bag for 2 years now and used it on my last 2 elk-hunting trips in Colorado. Both trips in October and this bag kept me more than adequately warmed (0 degree rating).

It is also more than long enough for all 6'3" of me even when I have to become a cocoon.

I do realize there are lighter, more advanced bags, but this IS the best value in a synthetic, tall-length, zero-degree bag under 5 pounds I've found.

Another selling point - the president of Slumberjack himself was @ the Owatonna, MN Cabela's grand opening about 2 years ago and helped me fit sleeping bags!

Summary:
I just got this sleeping bad last month and used it for the first time in the smokey mountains with the temperatures getting down to the high teens. It worked great and kept me warm throughout the night and seemed comfortable also.

Summary:
I have the bag rated at 20 degrees and have been very satisfied with the results. Although the coldest I have slept in it was just below freezing it kept me very warm and I have no doubt it will keep me warm down to its rating. The bag is also light,compact,and a great value.
