Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We all have different bodies, so I will review for me. I am a big dude. 6'5" and about 325 pounds. Thick upper body due to years in the gym. I went this weekend and camped in Prince William Forest in Virginia. The wind chill hit 11 and the wind really got into my tent vents. When I climbed into my bag to crash out, it was like jumping into a cold pool in the spring. However, within 15 minutes, I was not only comfortable, but I could feel my skin getting warm to the touch. 30 minutes after climbing in and I felt like I was at home sleeping in my own bed. I was THAT warm. My camping buddy was not so lucky. His bag was rated to 20 and he said he could not get warm all night. He even threw hot hands near his feet and held one in his hands. He also thought his face was going to freeze off. I didn't have that problem. Heat that was escaping my bag was radiating over my face. He opted not to stay the second night.....I refused to go home and waved goodbye. Now, the bag it comes with sucks. Buy a good quality compression sack if you intend to strap it to your back on a primitive camp. Way too bulky. The bag is thick rolled up, but you can reduce it maybe 1/3 with a good compression sack. Will update when I do a primitive camp and try hiking in with it. Pros: Kept me warm. Good size. Not claustrophobic feeling. Fleece at feet helped warm them faster. Cons: Bulky with included bag A little bit of a pain to roll up again due to thickness
