There are comments here about how it isn't ultralight, or it is a car camping bag. I have this bag and use it when I backpack. It is 700FP dridown, and under 3lbs. I am also 6'4" with wide shoulders, and this bag is one of the few that actually fit me.
Maybe I come from oldschool thinking where my first backpacking bag was nearly 6lbs and didnt get smaller than a large pumpkin, but under 3lbs, and gets very small even just in the stuff sack provided is pretty great. Yeah, it's not ultralight, but most of the items in this category aren't.
TL;DR, I have this bag, use it for backpacking, and love it. Roomy, warm, and light enough.

timoteo1234It's good to know it can be squished down into a relatively small package. I do bike tours and it's a little annoying carrying around my dad's old, but amazingly warm and cozy, bag from the early 80's. That bag is heavy and bulky as hell, but this one actually looks small enough to realistically be brought along for bike touring.
I wonder what chemically comprises "DriDown" though.

timoteo1234Have you had an opportunity to use or handle the Sierra Designs' Backcountry Bed? I have that bag and love how compact it gets, but am not a fan of using it in frigid conditions even though it's the 800-fill 3 season. Just lets out too much heat with the quilt closure. Just curious how this bag compares to it...
