Sports reviews of Eureka! Casper 15-Degree Mummy Sleeping BagCustomer Review: Nice for the price Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Nice bag with nice features. I'm 6'-3" 240 lbs, if you're bigger or wider than me, don't buy this bag! I manage but it's not roomy around the arms/chest.
I've tested this bag pretty thoroughly. I tried it with a nice sleeping pad and *no* wind at 20F, I was comforable at first but started to chill enough to wake me up about 5 hours in. Don't get me wrong, if you're protected from wind and moisture and have a good sleep pad, at 15F you'll probably live, but not quite comfy. Still this is a backpacking sleeping bag, and most people don't choose to backpack in winter conditions. If you have to, put on a couple layers of expedition-weight polypro, a couple pair of wool socks and a balaclava and you'll have no trouble meeting or exceeding that +15f rating.
As reported by others, it fits well in the sleeping bag compartment of my pack. Comes with a very nice, effective compression sack. I bought the Long and there's plenty of length for my height.
What else to say? If it was down it would be either half the size (when compressed), or 20F warmer, and at least twice the price. Also, because this is a synthetic bag, it dries much faster than a down bag, and works better when damp. To an extent "you get what you pay for" but on it's own this is a nice, 3-season backpacking sleeping bag, which I'd have no problem recommending to others. Tempted to buy the similar 0-bag and +30 bag in the same series!
