E 6 Degree 800FP Goose Down Sleeping Bag Ultralight Down Sleeping Bag for Backpacking and Camping for Men & Women (Black, Lengthen)

I bought this to use as a sleeping bag / quilt while walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in April and May. My friend bought the same bag (in silver) and we both were two of the only pilgrims not complaining about their bags. For background, I normally do backcountry backpacking in the Alaskan wilderness and am used to more technical sleeping bags. That is NOT what this sleeping bag is for.This is a VERY lightweight, very thin-shell bag. I would not use it for rough situations like camping where a more durable shell would be required. But for staying in hostels and albergues this was perfect. The thin shell decreases weight and makes the bag very soft to the touch. The outer shell is slightly slick and the inner liner has a very soft, satin feel that I found to be incredibly cozy and not sticky at all like most sleeping bags. The down insulation seemed to be of good quality and did not bunch up at one end or the other and didn't clump up with 3 months of nightly use. I've washed it once (water only, no detergent) since I've returned home and it fluffed up like new with tennis balls in the dryer.The all-around zipper allows this bag to be unzipped to lie flat like a quilt and there's a zipper at either end, so I could unzip the bag at the foot to allow air to my feet or so I could shuffle around room-to-room while still "wearing" my bag. I never found the zipper to snag or fail, either.There's a drawstring to cinch the bag shut around your head/shoulders on chill nights. Very minimal in added weight. And as far as length goes, I'm 5'6" and felt there was ample length to the bag as well as width - much roomier than my mummy bags.As far as warmth goes, I was only cold on a handful of nights that fell below the temperature rating of the bag. Otherwise this bag was plenty warm for my purposes and also light enough to be used on warmer nights. On the Camino in the Spring people often worry over buying a bag versus just a liner; I was very glad to of had this bag. I tend to be cold at night and while there were a few nights where I didn't need this bag and only used a provided blanket at the albergues, this bag is so light I didn't mind carrying it those days and often would use the albergue blanket to lay on so I didn't sweat on those vinyl matresses and still use my AegisMax unzipped as a light quilt.I also took this bag in my carry-on on my flights to use instead of airline blankets. Much more comfortable, and I could use the blanket for lumbar support instead.Lastly, yes, the color of this bag is EXACTLY like that of a garbage bin liner. I saw this as a theft-deterrent because who wants to steal a garbage sack? ;)CONCLUSION: I saw a lot of ultra-light down bags while walking the Camino, many from well-known brands. Most of those people paid more money than I did for this AegisMax, which seemed too good to be true but turned out to be one of the best purchases for this trip.

PERFECT SUMMER TOP QUILT FOR A HAMMOCK AT A GREAT PRICE! MAYBE FOR 3 SEASONS IN THE SOUTH.Let me be clear - I bought this as a top quilt for a hammock (that's why I got this bag shape) and the rating is for that use. So I did not try, or at least have not yet tried, how it fits as a bag. When I do that, I will update this to include it. I am 5'9", or thereabouts, and 230 lbs, or thereabouts, and this bag is perfect for me in this use. I tried it out last night, and I had plenty of width to wrap around me and plenty of length to pull up over my head, if that's what I wanted to do.The bag arrived compressed in its stuff sack, which is very small. I didn't know how long it had been compressed, so I put the bag into the dryer with two tennis balls with the dryer on its lowest heat setting. Spun it twice for about 15 minutes each, and the bag fluffed right up. Really an impressive amount of loft.The comfort rating on the bag is 52 degrees, and, coincidentally, that's what it got down to last night. I am a cold sleeper and generally add 10 degrees to any bag/quilt's rating, so I was a bit skeptical. However, I stayed nice and warm all night, and I don't see why, if one dresses sensibly, this bag wouldn't be comfortable to me down into the 40's. Maybe a bit lower with a little help from something like a $20 Costco down throw. We'll have to wait a few months to see about that, though. I live in middle Georgia, and the winter nighttime temps are generally in the 30's for about two months, with only occasional dips as low as the teens, so this bag will probably do me for most of year.The construction seems good, although, as I said, I have only used it for one night, so, if durability becomes an issue, I will have to report that later. I plan to use it a lot. The zipper, however, seems a bit flimsy. That is not an issue with me, though, using it as a top quilt, as I will only zip the bottom 1-1/2 to 2 feet as a foot box. If the zipper fails, I can either add snaps or sew it closed in that area. The zipper zips in both ways and has nice little pulls on both outside zippers but nothing on the inside ones. I would say to the seller that should the opportunity arise to improve the zipper without increasing the price, then they should do it. For me, however, it is a non-issue.EDIT: I left out some important information as to what I was wearing. To bed I wore a lightweight base layer shirt and a thin fleece vest over that, thin cotton pants, and cotton crew socks, and that's it. For an underquilt, I was using my Hammock Gear Econ Phoenix 0 Degree UQ. Was too much UQ, but it was all I had.So, all in all, for my use, five stars! As I use it, if I uncover anything that I think should be reported, I will update this review.UPDATE: Low was predicted to be 41* last night, so I decided to try the bag again at the lower temp. Only went down to 45.2*, though, with no wind, and I was warm all night. I dressed the same as before, except I used wool socks instead of cotton. I had a light down throw available as a booster, if necessary, but I didn't need it. I don't see why the bag wouldn't have been okay down to 40* with no wind. With the down throw, into the 30's (no wind) wouldn't be out of the question. If wind comes into play, then we have to consider wind-chill instead of the actual temp.So, as unlikely as it may seem, the seller's comfort rating of 52* seems to actually be conservative! And, as I said, I am a cold sleeper. Very lightweight, packs small, and very warm. WELL DONE, Aegismax!UPDATE: I have found one small thing that I do not like. I bought this as a cool to warm weather bag, and using it in warm weather, I found that I do not like the feel of this fabric on my skin. Even in warm weather, it is cool/clammy to the touch while the insulation is warming. That's a strange feeling. In cool weather, where the only flesh that touches the bag are your hands and face, it's great. Not quite sure what to do about the warm weather problem, though. Will probably use something else, which makes this not the great buy that it at first seemed to be. Dropping to 4 stars.UPDATE: After considerable usage, I have uncovered what could be an important issue. In order to make the bag lightweight, the material used is very thin. The down inside is attached to tiny little quills, and they have sharp points. Due to the thinness of the fabric, these little "needles" can puncture it and work their way through. So I have been noticing little white spots where this has been happening. It's easy to pinch behind them and pull them back inside, but everwhere this happens leaves a tiny hole in the fabric that might possibly affect its ability to repel moisture. So just a head's up. I was thinking about getting a second one of these and then layering to get to lower temps, but I'm now putting that on hold.
