Bought two of these sleeping bags for my wife and I for Christmas. Got a left and a right bag so that we can zip them together on backpacking trips and camping trips. So far we've only tested them out at a relatives house and our house, but so far so good. They are relatively light for their size and the fact that they use Synthetic insulation on the bottom, which IMO is a good thing. Synthetic retains some insulation value when compressed, unlike Down.
I like the fact that these bags fit my slim 6'4" frame with a bit of wiggle room, there's a full length baffle on the zippers, the hood and draw string work well. The hood is big enough to hold an inflatable camp pillow and still give my head some protection. If I need more protection from the cold for my head, I'll wear a knit cap, which I always have when camping. When two bags are zipped together they are surprisingly wide. My wife and I like to cuddle at night, even so, we had plenty of room to wiggle or move apart if we wanted to. Mind you, we are both on the slim side. For us, there's plenty of room.
When testing at our relatives house, we get really warm in these bags, they were overkill for sleeping indoors. In my experience, if a sleeping bag is hot inside, it's going to be warm outside, even on a cool night. Make sure to fluff up the sleeping bags after you get it/them to maximize loft, and don't store them compressed. Follow the directions on the makers website and you'll do fine. We can't wait for this spring so that we can take them to southern Utah on some campouts and backpacking trips. These bags are so much nicer then the bags that we used to use, both in warmth and comfort. Love the shape and build quality is really good.
