Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Alright. Let's get started. One. First and foremost. Do not buy this bag if you don't read this, and are not being brutally honest with yourself. So, to begin, some questions for you. Are you over 6'0? Do you have extremely broad shoulders? Do you go hiking in weather where the nights are high 30's? Do you not have a sleeping pad? If you answered yes, to any of the above, do not buy this bag. It will not suit your needs. My experience (I am 5'7, athletic build) has been decent depending on me. Will I take this bag and my bivy shelter out camping in January? No. Not in any way shape, or form. Would I take it out in April with just my bivy shelter? Ha! Nope! May, june, july, and august? Yes, if I have to. Preferably I would not take it out without my sleeping pad. I have a nice portable insulated pad, that yes, I would take this bag out in late febuary with a pair of thermals. This bag is designed for summer. This bag is designed to keep you cool, not to keep you warm. If you put this bag, on the ground, the ground will leach your heat from you quicker than a tick latching onto a hunting dog. My use is specifically for summer hiking. So this bag is exactly what I wanted. Light weight, compresses amazingly small, and for hot humid summer nights, not something that is going to make me stickier than rolling in a lukewarm cola pool and running through a cotton field. Perfect in that aspect. The only thing I am questioning is the durability. It is thin, very much so. And I am not necessarily a rough and tumble guy on my gear, but I do use it. For the price though, and the compatability with backpack hike in camping, I'll be getting another one of these for sure. The zipper. The zipper the zipper. I read it a lot. The zipper is not bad at all. You just have to use it like a zipper. Make sure material isn't in the way, don't force it if it does stick, look at why it is. Come on y'all, that's just common sense. I was not offered a discount for my review, and this is an honest, and truly unbiased one at that. Best luck in choosing the right bag for you! Update: 5/29/2017 After using this bag on several occasions (mind you temperature appropriate) I have concluded that this bag definitely gets to keep my 5 star rating. The zippers still isn't destroyed, more than likely due to me not being too large for the bag and trying to cram myself into it to save a few cents, and I have yet to tear or rip the exterior. Keep in mind, i roll this up and compress it inside my bivy shelter. Shelter, not bag. I do have a little wiggle room to do so. I am very impressed with this little nerf football sized bag. Best regards, and good luck in choosing the bag that is right for you!
