not as warm as rated Dec 01, 2009

We have three of these bags and the whole family fits them just fine. They're heavy and bulky but work fine when you have a truck to carry them. They're great for camping but obviously not for backpacking. The main problem is the insulation just isn't that good for all the bulk. I had a 0 degree bag from Marmot that was totally comfortable at 20 degrees outside in the snow (on a foam pad). On the other hand, this 10 degree bag is cold when it's 40 degrees on a foam pad in a tent. My wife was cold at 50 degrees. I was expecting the 10 degree rated bag to be comfortable down to 30. There's no way I could convince my family to sleep in this at that temperature, which has turned my family off camping for several months out of the year. The Marmot bag, which was down, was good 12 months of the year. It worked from 20 degrees to about 80 degrees just as well. Down is great that way. People might buy this bag for their kids because they believe it's more capable than a "sleepover" bag. It's more rugged maybe. I haven't found it to be warmer though.
Update: I switched to the Teton Sports bags in -25F rating. These are awesome -- way better than the Timbers. For my wife it's the difference of whether she'll go camping or not. Check out the reviews of the Teton bags and see what others say. Now the Tetons are warm and comfortable but they're super bulky and heavy. They're not a backpacking bag -- for that you'll need an expensive, lightweight bag around triple the cost of these kinds. I used to live out of a Marmot bag and the Timber is nothing like that. The Teton is similar but just super bulky and heavy. That's fine because I carry 4 of them with a vehicle not on my back.
