Also curious about the sizing - at 5'10 185lbs is it worth it to get the wide? Not looking for a king size bed but don't want to feel like cocoon either.
Sorry to dig up an old thread but wondering if you guys have any updated info on the temp rating and build quality of the slick bag? I'm looking at them hard right now and on paper, it looks like one of the best synthetics out there.
I froze my butt in a 20 bag. I felt super tight in the regular. Super tight. I'm 6 foot 190 lbs.
It was a tough bag. I got the fabric hung up hard in the zipper and it was unfazed. First zip too
In the end, I sold that thing.
40ish.

I have heard this complaint from multiple people. Basically that the Slick bag is way overrated in regards to actual R-value and rating. This was also regarding the older Slick bags, so maybe they've been redesigned and this is no longer an issue.
I have the same experience with the wide version. Im hoping to unload this thing to some sucker & get a 0* quilt.I froze my butt in a 20 bag. I felt super tight in the regular. Super tight. I'm 6 foot 190 lbs.
