Poor craftsmanship and temperature rating
When the company states this:DESIGNED FOR EXTREME WEATHERS – Designed for near-freezing temperatures w/ a rating of 32F (extreme at 20F), thanks to our top quality hollow fiber filling & S-shape quilted design. This sleeping bag is water-resistant proof, weather-proof, and super quick to dry to keep you warm even in extreme conditions and prevent you from any dampness.But then on the bag says the following:32 F limit / 42 F comfort / 55 F limit and that portion of the bag is not shown in any pictures makes me feel like I've been lied to.I'm taking it out in 38 degree weather this weekend so I'll update later.Update. Temperatures got down to below 40 and I froze. I had on thermals, on a foam pad, with an extra down blanket inside the bag so I'd say that the ratings listed for this bag are bad. There's no way it's comfortable at 42 degrees.Also the zipper isn't stitched in correctly.

Good size for packing
First of all, customer service was great. We had the zipper problem on my son's first scout outing with it, and they refunded our money, but told us to keep the sleeping bag - for that we were very grateful. My son's next outing was Jamboree where space was severely limited. Since we were able to get the zipper back on track, we sent him with this sleeping bag again (we ran out of time to find another small one). It worked for him; the small packed size allowed him to pack extras like a camp chair and other accessories.Packed Size: ExcellentCustomer Service: ExcellentLength/width: Great, we're talking about a fit 12 year old boy scout, though.Warmth: Good, I really doubt it would be good to 32 degrees. It's only been used for summer camping so far.Craftsmanship: OK, zipper issues, and one seam needed repair after washing.Washability: Good, it fit in my washing machine (air-dried), one seam started to pull out, but is stable after a minor repair.Repackability: OK, my son can "stuff the sack" himself, however, I believe not rolling the bag leads to the zipper issues. Even just "stuffing" the tiny sack takes practice, so don't send your kid off to camp without a couple of practice rounds. I am able to roll the bag small enough to fit in the compression sack, but my boy scout can't yet.Overall Value: Good, at the regular priceI believe "stuffing the sack" wrinkles the zipper tape, potentially causing the zipper to get stuck a lot. Extra tugging to unstick the zipper can pull it off track. Before any long-term storage or sending him to camp, I roll the sleeping bag to keep the zipper tape as smooth as possible. To bring it home from camp my son can stuff the bag, but we re-roll it before storing. Based on other reviews of the stuff sack falling apart, we don't over-tighten the ends. We pull it snug but don't try to compress it further.Again, I didn't pay for this bag and I feel sort of bad about how much use my son has gotten out of it after getting a full refund (about 25 days this summer), so if they upgrade the zipper to hardier stock, I would gladly buy another one!

Great for 50F+ but not colder
My gf and I took a 3 week camping trip to New Zealand and each got one of these bags. For $30, these bags are great for summer/spring camping. PROS: They pack small, the compression sack is decent, and they're made of comfortable materials. CONS: The zipper does tend to get caught on the material easily. The 32F rating is not really reasonable. We had a few nights where it dipped down to 42-45 degrees and we were both freezing even with long underwear and packable down jackets on.Temp ratings for sleeping bags are iffy estimates at best. But I don't think you can reasonably rate these to 32F. In a survival situation where temps dropped unexpectedly to 32 (which can happen in high mountains) and this is all I had, I'd be worried.In short, these are really good budget 50F+ 2 season bags. But if you expect colder weather, you might want something a little more heavy duty.

Phenomenal Sleeping Bag!
I was looking for a small, lightweight sleeping bag to carry with me on camping trips on my motorcycle. This sleeping bag is perfect. It fits neatly in one of my saddle bags along with my tent, and kept me plenty warm in low 30 degree weather. If you're looking for a great sleeping bag, at an even better price...this is the bag for you.

Good bag for the price. Had issue with compression sack but the company immediately resolved it for us.
I have only used this one night and I thought the sleeping bag was good for the price. The temperature dropped into upper 40s and I stayed warm enough wearing pants and a short sleeve shirt. I tend to be on the cold side but even though this is rated at 32 degrees I think you would need to wear very warm clothes to be warm enough at 32 degrees.My only concern is the compression sack. On the one camping trip I used this on the handle ripped off the compression sack when I took it out of my pack. It's honestly not a huge deal to me because I always carry the bag in my backpack. However, since it was brand new I went ahead and emailed the company and within a few days I received a new compression sack in the mail. It's nice to see some companies still have great customer service. I am going on an 11 day camping trip in mid June and will get to test this further. I'll try to remember to update my review after that trip.

Warm and cozy but kind of like stuffing an octopus into a tiny sack.
On the up-side, this thing packs down super small and kept my kiddo warm on a rainy camping weekend with a small fleece blanket extra inside. It seems well made and the zipper works well and the price was good. The down side is it is so hard to stuff in the bag you need to prepare for that. It is do-able but it literally made my kid cry (she had to learn how to do it herself before the trip). The trick is to NOT roll or fold it before putting it in the bag. Just grab a corner and start stuffing using both hands and maybe your feet. It will keep trying to come back out while you sweat and swear a lot but eventually it will go in and be a nice compact little bag. And maybe this is just how these packable sleeping bags are - this is our first experience. I really do like the sleeping bag though.
