I am going to do this review anonymously because "Big" and "Hog" (I bought the Big Agnes Hog Park 20 degree bag) both kind of describe me. I sleep in a king sized bed, and roam all over the bed. I toss, I turn, and the thought of a mummy bag has kept me off backbacking forever. But, the Big Agnes is a great compromise for somebody like me who is 6'3" and 325 pounds. I used the Big Agnes in combination with my ThermaRest Neo Air mattress. Very comfortable. When zipped up I was snug, but not miserable as I expected. Furthermore, with the "girdle" available as an optional extra, the Big Agnes just fits into the sleeping bag section of my Kelty 5600. Highly recommended.
Dislikes:
Really nothing not to like that I have found. I could have gotten more compressibility with down, but I specifically went with synthetic because one never knows when the tent will allow the stray drop or two or 3,000 in and I am not a fair weather camper so synthetic fill was my choice for wet performance.

This sleeping bag was great in the backwoods of Algonquin Provincial Park, located in Ontario, as the sleeping bag was able to be unzipped and perform like a comforter, and it warded off the cool nights (~ 15 C) of Ontario with ease. You don't need to use it as a comforter, it was my preference, but I have also tried the sleeping bag as it was intended for, and it performed great as well.
Dislikes:
Since I was backpacking in the backwoods of Ontario, it was a little heavy for my wishes, and unless you purchase the optional compression harness for this sleeping bag, you will never get it in your pack. Even with the bag compressed with the harness, I was fighting to get it in the pack every day. I sure wish it was more compressible, and lighter, but all in all it was fine.

The Hog Park 20* is put together extremely well. The fabric feels rich and sturdy enough that we'll be passing this bag down to our kids. And the cut is really roomy! ...Even for those of us 100lbs overweight.
Dislikes:
The insulating fibers resist compressing, so the bag is definitely not a backpacking choice.
