Likes: 1. I love how light the product is.
2. I love how compressable the product is.
3. I love how warm the product is.

I just returned from a weekend on the Black Mountain Crest near Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina where I used the product in some fairly harsh conditions. I have nothing but good things to say about it.

Dislikes: There is nothing that I do not like about the product.

Likes: I tested this bag on a 31 day through-hiking trip in the High Sierras this September. The bag was perfect for this trip in that it was lightweight, very compressible and reasonably warm. It's well constructed, the zipper doesn't snag the fabric like my old bag, it doesn't leak down, and there's the bonus of the waterproof outer to keep condensation/precipitation out.

Dislikes: This is an expensive bag for the warmth, but this is an investment as the water resistant outer will give the bag some durability to keep it going for many years to come. It is definitely only a three season bag and it has no shoulder/neck baffles. I got cold on a few nights on my High Sierra trip and was glad of my duvet jacket and a silk liner when the temp hit 17F one night. The only other minor grumble is that the supplied stuffsack is pretty flimsy (would tear easily) and does not have a compression strap.
