Review Abstract Praised by reviewers for its "very good" weight, loft and compressibility, the North Face Superlight sleeping bag "out-performs any other bag." Backed by an "awesome company," this bag is "light," "durable" and "does not take a lot of effort to roll up." Reviewers say this bag lives up to what it's said to do: keep you warm in even 0 degree weather. Outdoor enthusiasts have slept in the Superlight everywhere, from British Columbia to Colorado to Iceland, and have always been warm. It "prevents cold spots" and also has a "handy" watch pocket. Overall, "the price and the quality make this a good buy."
Summary: Awsome Bag!
I do alot of camping in the Adirondacks, as guide for groups. So I needed a bag that would keep me warm and be small enough for me to carry. I can actually get this back packed down to a ball about 8" in diameter.
As for its temp rating, I have yet to sleep in it at -18 but i have no doubt that it will keep me nice and warm.
The one draw back is the zipper, my bag is a 2004 model and it still has the anoying zipper that jams. It doesn't snag it just seems to jam on itself. This however i have gotten used to and compared to all the other awsome feature on this bag the Zipper problems just don't matter.
Customer Service: When I got the bag the Draw cords for the hood weren't sewn in properly. TNF repaired it without any questions. Treat them with respect and they'll do the same. TNF takes alot of crap from people trying to get their old beet-up gear replaced for free.

Summary: I've used this bag with a bivi sack in a Bibbler tent from the Cassin Ridge in -65 F. and at the summit of Rainier in Feb during a rescue job. It is an excellent choice for compressability, warmth, and weight.
Keep it dry and you cannot go wrong.
Customer Service: The NorthFace is the best.

Summary: I actually have the superlight endurance. I will stand by the quality and value of this bag till the end of time. I jammed into countless bags and for the temp rating, features, looks and quality, I feel this was the best. I have had it 11k up on Rainier in my skivies and had one of the best nights sleep. Compacts tiny yet is a roomy bag(good wide shoulders). Kudos TNF. This bag will stay with me as long as the down lasts.

Summary: This is a nice bag. I was using TNF Thunderhead for winter camping and needed to get some more warmth. Down is so comfortable. This bag is very light and compresses smaller than my summer bag. It lofts very fast and the loft is huge!! My only gripe that I wish it had a better water-resistant shell. It doesn't bead condensation very well, but also doesn't let it through to the down. The big footbox is nice, big enough to stuff some clothes to dry at night. Overall, an excellent bag at a good price.
Customer Service: Haven''t had any experience but heard its good. Bad thing-I heard TNF is owned by Vanity Fair!! Sellouts. No wonder their shells suck.
