VERY WARM, WEIGHS NOTHING, BIT TIGHT
Lofts incredibly well, weighs nothing, has no pointless frills. I have the bare bones zipless version, the warmth is remarkable and the pack size tiny.
There appears to be less down on the underneath of the bag, which means if you sleep on your side like me, your back can get cold. This isn't a major issue unless you're at the limit of the bag's temperature range. It's average length, and combined with no chest baffle this can make it hard to tighten up the hood fully and seal yourself in. It's cut pretty tight, so don't expect to be able to wriggle your legs or arms much once you are in.
By far the best bag I've owned. Combined with a light synthetic outer bag and a bivvi bag you have a combo that will keep you warm to -8 or -9, shed water, be unaffected by condensation and still come in at about 1.5kg
