Outstanding warmth, weight, and price
This sleeping bag is like a hidden gem for backpackers who don't want to shell out massive amounts of money for gear. Virtually every other bag I've looked at with a weight comparable to this one either has a temperature rating at least 10 degrees higher, or costs 3 times the price. I honestly don't know how Kelty managed to make this bag when no one else appears to be close.As far as actual usage goes, so far it's been great. I got a size long for myself (6' 3", ~250 lbs) and it's plenty roomy. The interior is soft and comfortable, and I actually love the way the zipper comes across just before the bottom of the bag, so I can kick my feet out in warmer weather. I haven't tested it out in truly cold weather yet, but it's been more than warm enough when I have used it, and since its 22 degree label is an EN rating, you can have some confidence that the bag can really stand up to those temperatures, and it's not just a number the manufacturer slapped on there to impress people.** UPDATE **I recently took this bag on a backpacking trip when the temperature got down to the low 30s overnight, and this bag was fantastic. I didn't wear any of my warm clothes, and still I was perfectly comfortable. I'm 100% confident that if I'd worn warm layers as well, the temperature could have easily dropped to 20 or so and I would have been fine. Absolutely great bag and a steal of a value.

Great Performing Value Bag
The Kelty Tuck 22 Long is a great bag for what it is - a synthetic mummy bag. I did extensive online research and "touch and feel" recon in outdoor stores before deciding on this. It is a very good value if not one of the best for performance and cost. Great choice for car camping and very short backpacking trips, but will be a little on the heavy side and slightly bulky for any real backpacking trip. Maximum compression is an 8" dia x 13" long sack. I am 6'2" and the Long will definitely accommodate guys (and gals) much taller than me. The little features (zipper configuration, inner pocket, tabs for strapping to air mattress, hood design, air baffle and top cinch are all well thought out and well executed and are simple which for me is what I wanted. I have switched to hammock camping and even though this is a mummy it works well using it as a top quilt (partly because of the clever "across the body" zipper design at the footbox). A note about the temperature rating - NO sleeping bag meets it's temperature rating un-aided and the Tuck is no exception. The bag ratings are tested and determined with full long underwear and a hat. Just straight up any sleeping bag is only good to about 15 -20 degrees warmer than the rating. I would say the Kelty is good to about 40ish degrees (assuming that you have a properly insulated air mattress or hammock underquilt so you aren't losing heat underneath you). With no activity, I burn hot and have used this bag in the Sierras down to 25 degrees with full long underwear, a heavy fleece top, down hat and a thin fleece blanket inside the bag. That made for a comfortable night and is what you should expect from a 20 degree bag. If you burn on the normal or colder side, you will have to layer up a bit more at that air temp.

but after multiple Fall and Spring camping trips with both a tent and hammock i am still pretty happy with this bag
The 22 degree rating is definitely a survival temp and not a comfort threshold for outdoor use, but after multiple Fall and Spring camping trips with both a tent and hammock i am still pretty happy with this bag. For the average male i would say this will keep you toasty at 35-40 degrees with a sleeping matt or underquilt but starts getting chilly below that. It compresses reasonably well for the average backpacker.

Comparable to REI Sleeping Bags for a Fraction of the Price
I was a bit skeptical when I bought this sleeping bag because I was going on a 7 day trek of the Patagonia and I couldn't figure out whether to get this or a sleeping bag for 5 times the price from REI. I finally decided to give this a shot because I couldn't justify paying that much for a sleeping bag AND I didn't have time to go to REI. I was so pleased with this.I LOVED the color and how compact it could get, it fit in the bottom of my 65L trekking bag no problem (with that said, I did buy a separate compression bag for it). It was light enough that I could carry it along with all my stuff for 7 days. It kept me warm on the coldest night, and once I unzipped the bottom to let my feet breath, it was cool enough that I didn't have trouble falling asleep on the warmest nights (my other friends had to sleep on top of their sleeping bags).I love that it has a little pocket on the inside for me to put my earplugs and things I didn't want to lose in the middle of the night. Again, the two way zipper and the fact that I could zip up from the inside and the outside was great. Also, there's a little additional flap to keep my shoulders covered to stay extra warm.I will admit, the coldest night was probably around 30F / 0C so I didn't get to test out it's ultimate cold temperature limit, but the quality is great and I will definitely use it again.

Great Value
I'm 5'9"/155lbs/M, bought the regular size. Used in the low 40s with long johns, socks and a beanie on top of a Klymit Insulated Static V sleeping pad and was comfortable. Had the temp been in the mid to high 30s I think I would have still been fairly comfortable. The EN comfort rating is 33 degrees and lower limit rating is 22 degrees, both of which don't seem too far off. I'll try to update the review if I get to use the bag in lower temps. The regular size compresses really well; I used the included stuff sack and I also bought the Big Agnes Super Light Girdle compression straps to compress the bag by about 40% (see pictures). My friend has the long sized bag, which uses the same stuff sack, and his compresses much less due to the extra material used in the long size. The width of the regular sized bag at the shoulders is about 62 inches, which may feel snug for some but was perfect for me on a cold night. For an EN rated bag below $100 (got mine on sale for $66!) that compresses well, is lightweight and keeps me warm, this is a great value.

Muy útil
Saco de buena calidad y diseño para baja temperatura, de buena tamaño pero la bolsa para guardarlo no es comprimible por lo que el tamaño sin ser estorboso puede ocupar más espacio del necesario

Good quality
Sent it back as it was a little tight in the shoulders for me. I’m just under 6 feet. For someone smaller seems like it would be a quality bag for a good price.
