Lightweight, warm, and well priced for what you get, which is a fine-quality product.

Full-length zip (well guarded, and anti-snag)
Neck baffle
Lightweight (950g inc. bag, on my scales)
Excellent materials (535g fill for 6' version)
Good price (I got 20% off)
Comfortably snug fit for me (5'6" 9st female)
Very warm
Only the usual drawbacks (don't get it wet/price) of down sleeping bags.
Good value for money: an excellent mid-range bag which is warm enough, light enough, compresses well, and is affordable.

I bought it at a higher rating than I expect to need (i.e. 3/4 season for 2/3 season use), because I'm a cold-sensitive girl, who wears two jumpers in the house (even with the heating on). I've used the bag so far in a breezy 1°C, in a well-ventilated tent, and I was very comfortable. My feet were warm, and I never have warm feet, even in my own bed!

For those who are concerned with fill power, I understand that the US rating equates to 750 in European tests.

I can't rate its reliability, having only just bought it - but the site won't let me leave it blank...
