Taken aback!
This product is just what i have been looking for. I am an avid MTN climber and hiker. The image on amazon is the exact same as the product I received. It is very well made, it really is as small as the picture. Before purchasing this product i read all the reviews as you are now. i have already recommended this product to a couple of my friends and my dad. i bought this bag because of its low costs compared to comparable bags of $250 or more. you definitely get your moneys worth. i have had no problems getting the bag back into the compression sack and making it as small as the picture. it fits into my 3400 just like i wanted. as for warmth it suits my needs just fine. the 30 degree rating is accurate. i am planning on using this bag on my trip to climb Ben Nevis in scotland this winter. it is made in the USA if that concerns you. the materials are top notch. however if you are planning on using the bag at 0 degree temps i would recommend you get a silk or better, a merino liner. another neat trick is to crack open a few hot hands body warmers and toss them into the bottom of the bag (2 should do it). this gives you the extra heat output to keep you toasty through the night. I am 152 lbs 5',10'' athletic build. the bag is light weight but as others have said i would not call it Ultralite. hope this helps.

After owning this product for over three years now, I wanted to come back and add to the review. This bag is still the best bag for the money that I'v purchased. I still use it on nearly every outdoors trip I take. Its literally travelled the world with me now. From sailing to the barrier islands off the Mississippi coast to Turkey, to Scotland, to the woods, to kayaking adventures. The stitching is still in the same condition as when I bought it. I have washed this bag, at home, in the the machine, and dried it in the dryer more times than I can count. The bag holds up. The stuffing still keeps me warm. In a sentence, this bag is the best piece of gear you can buy for the money. STILL "Taken Aback!"
