Bought one last year for my September elk hunts. Great bag, warm and very comfortable.

I’ve been using it for a couple of years. I like the shoulder room and sleep on my side and it’s easier to roll over in

I would consider myself an average sleeper. Will this bag get me,to 25 degree?

I just got my Feathered Friends UL Lark 10 degree bag and it is awesome. I can't believe how light and lofty it is. It has the treated exterior on it as well. When I was researching bags it was between FF and WM. Everything I have found was apples to oranges...and I couldn't be happier. It is probably overkill at 10 degrees for 99% of my situations, but in the event I ever do a later trip I do not want to buy again. This will be my one and done bag for everything. Slightly cheaper than WM, but the quality is spot on. $579 and free shipping.

If you are carrying the bag on your back and Temps are not below 25, this is the bag you want. I owned 2 and they were overkill for my truck camping needs. Make sure you get a good insulated pad and you will be happy.

I will be carrying camp on my back, so weight is something to consider

I have had the Terralite 4 years. Been into the single digits temp. wise on several occasions, the generous dimensions of the bag kept it easy to move/rollover in while wearing just a light down jacket. I was comfortable. In the mid 20's a light base layer top has kept me warm for the night. A warm beanie with a high quality pad and you will be good to go with the Terralite.

This is the bag I use most often . If it’s warmer I often use it as a quilt . In fact I open it all the way at home and my dog sleeps under it on the bed and it keeps her from trying to get under the covers .

I am thinking about the terralite As well. I m a cold sleeper so I am wondering if the overfill option is a good thing? I might gain 5 degrees with it which would be about right for Colorado until October. Anyone have an opinion about overfill? I really would like the extra space of the Terralite which is why I am considering it over the Alpinlight.

Overfilled my wife’s 20 degree ultralite after the first season. She got chilled on a couple nights when I was comfortable in my 15 degree badger. The overfill made her sleep exactly like I did temp wise the following fall. So I’d say the 5 degree gain is exactly right.
