Addendum to my 11-9-20 review and it's all good!

I have 2 additions to my earlier review. First is a shout out to Klymit for replacing the compression bag, thanks ya'll!! Second, I got cold at 14F but found it was my error as I didn't have the bag zipped over my shoulder nor the hood cinched tight. I camped the following wknd in 18F with the zipper and hood tight and I was warm as toast in Ohio. This is a keeper. :) Highly recommend this bag.

Very Satisfied

This is a reasonably warm sleeping bag. I have used it overnight at -7C and stayed warm enough. I suspect that below -10C this bag would not be warm enough.
pros: The ratio of warmth, weight, and price is just right for me. It is just light enough to take on short backpacking trips, warm enough for mild Canadian winter nights, and at the price point I can justify owning it even though I only go out for a couple nights per winter. It is also very comfortable; there is lots of room inside to find a comfortable position. Additionally, the inner material is soft, unlike many of the sleeping bags I have used.
cons: The zipper snags and I found that the last 12" of its travel (at the head end) was remarkably difficult to close. As such I had some frustration when trying to close it. Also, it is a bulky bag, since it is synthetic insulation. Stuffed in the bottom of my 65L pack it took up almost half of the main compartment, but that is to be expected for this warmth at this price point. The compression sack was also disappointing, as I did try to use it but found that the buckles did not hold much in the way of compression.
The bottom line is that this is a very good sleeping bag for the occasional backpacker on a budget, or a fantastic car camping sleeping bag. It is good enough for my needs and I am satisfied.

For the price was really happy how the bag performed during winter Camping in -10 C conditions. Maintained heat throughout the night no cold spots.

So far so good

Have only slept in it during the warmer months so I reserve the right to change my mind if I ever get out in the cold. But so far it is a great product. Warm and cozy. Love the stuff sack.

Warm and comfortable at 28F

I purchased the Large and it fit my 5'10" frame perfectly including the hood. The fabric feels more like flannel than silk which was a surprise and I liked it very much. The only con was the compression wrap stitching ripped when I compressed the 3 straps. The sleeping bag stitching is fine but the pseudo bag used for the compression had the stitching come loose, so I'll have to re-stitch unless KLYMIT wants to replace. :)
