I purchased this bag for my trip up Mt. Kilimanjaro. While is worked pretty well for most of the trek, we spent our seventh night in the crater (19k'+) and I gotta say, this bag didn't quite cut it at that alt/temp. I supplemented it with a liner that was supposed to add another -15 and wore two sets of long capliene 3 underwear and fleece pants on top of that along with two pairs of socks. I was still shivering. Something else to consider about this bag is that the draw cords around the head and neck are hard to loosen when you need to cool off. The little plastic guy gets lost in the bunched up fabric and you can't squeeze it easily with one hand. Two hands is not really an option because the bag fits so close around your shoulders, it is impossible to have your arms up like that. On the positive side though, the bag repells moisture very effectively. Also, it is extremely light ad packs down small. My girlfriend got the Mountain Hardwear -15 Lamina and she was much warmer than I even though she is a cold sleeper and had no liner or extra clothing. Her bag always had more moisture on it than mine in the mornings though.

I got this bag and it is very warm. The head and neck gaiter adjustments are easy to use. The material on the outside helps to resist moisture. The bag packs a little big but, it is a solid 0 degree bag for the price.
