Is there a lot of dense, cushy padding up near the head of the bag (where it would be keeping your upper torso warm when lying in it?)

I would say that on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most padding and 1 being no padding, this sleeping bad gets a 7. I keep the bag in my truck during the winter in the event I get stuck in a snow storm. The bag has really good quality, is very warm and comfortable.

There is no padding, but the whole sleeping bag is pretty cushy. It is like sleeping with a down comforter. The denseness is evenly distributed throughout the sleeping bag. It is thick and cushy and kept my wife and I very warm in -4 degree weather, and it was windy.

Hahaha this bag is a walking sleeping bag. You may be thinking of some thing else.

I was using a military issue extreme cold weather bag and it fit fine...but I just about burned up when it was above 50 outside...ended up sleeping on top of the thing or half covered. Anyway, if you are worried about size, mine fit just fine. I am 5'11' 260. Used a thermarest under it.

It was too large to fit comfortable under or on the side of a backpack. I had to strap it to the back of my backpack with a bungee cord. It's really not meant for backpacking, more for car camping. That said, it's an awesome sleeping bag and kept me warm through cold alaskan nights. It comes with a sack that you can stuff it in.

The bag does not have any padding. Is thin but tough. We checked in the bag and did not have any issues except some dirt on the bag.

No not at all. I hear more noise from the sleeping bag than anything. The thermarest has a foam interior that is quiet and retains its memory quite well from my experience.

You mean if the back of the bookbag is padded? I guess so? It's not too thick. It's comfortable for me. Very. But that's because I don't try to carry a body worth of weight in there. So if you do that, Idk if this is a bag for you.

I slept in it @ 12° with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24° and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30°. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10° under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40° outside, buy a 30° bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead.

Nope. It's thick, and rain drops would not get in easily, but leave it out in rain and it will get wet, and humidity will sink in. With that said, this bag does not feel cheap. It has a nice thick, firm feel. Worth the money, IMO.

I never had the opportunity to carry the bag in that much heat. It is well insulated and I think with extra cold packs it may be just fine. The bag was a lot larger than I thought it would be so I do not use it for work everyday. More of a cooler for special occasions.

yes it is but as with other bags, the base could do with more padding in my opinion. Great and VERY comfy bag though... i actually bout this and a swiss gear because i couldnt decide but this is very comfy on the shoulders

I love the bag. It will definitely keep you warm and cozy. I haven't used mine for backpacking only car to campsite tent camping. I typically take a lightweight hammock and thermal blanket rolled up in my sleeping pad when backpacking.

NO....I am guessing it is not comfortable at minus 30 degrees. it is comfortable to high teens Fahrenheit when accompanied by light wool or flannel blanket directly against your body as insulation AND comforter or wool blanket over the top of the bag. It is a seriously comfortable, well constructed bag. Excellent value. I HIGHLY recommend it! Soon will be entering the third year of use.....estimating 300 nights of use altogether - still like brand new, fresh as a daisy. One thing to note...it is heavy in weight - you will not want to move it around much. In winter mine lives in the back of my SUV.ALL THE BEST!

no. This is pretty heavy duty. I get a large sleeping bag and a small pad in it, and it is durable. I've been very happy with it.

I've never had this bag at -30 degrees, but I've had it at near 0 degrees. It is a comfortable bag, warm but do not layer up on your clothing. Because this bag is made to reflect body heat back inward. I am 5'8" and find this bag to be a little too roomy with too much air space inside. But you can pull the bag into you to eliminate the air space. All in all it is a good bag, but is made more for a person of 6' + the company would do well to make various sizes bags for various size people.

No. This sleeping bag is large enough for two people as is. It's also so warm!
