Quality Preformer
"I purchased this bag in an effort to decrease weight and volume on my backpacking trips. This bag replaced a 0 degree synthetic bag so the difference is like night and day. The bag has plenty of room, but tight fitting enough that it doesn't have a lot of empty air to warm. I was hesitant to get down, but am very happy I went with it.

Luxuruis, But Too Wide and Poor Hood
"The Helium is ultra soft and comfortable with huge loft all in an ultralight, compressible package. However, the performance of the bag left me wanting... The bag is WAY to big for me (I'm a 5'9", 160 male). It is excessively wide, leaving large, cold air pockets inside the bag.

Pros
- Expensive
Cons

Best Uses
"This is definitely the best 3 season sleeping bag on the market. Compared to the Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15 and the North Face Hightail, it simply offers better warmth, more space, and lighter weight.
Super bomber zipper does not snag on accident. The shell fabric is lightweight and durable.

Best Uses
"I have the older version of this bag from a couple of years back. It's essentially the same but the new bag is nicer. Firstly, the new bag has a nicer liner inside it. It's somehow softer, but that doesn't make much of a difference anyway as I always sleep in thermals. The main thing is the full …" Read Full Review »
