The weights aren't awful and the price is tough to beat for a fifteen degree bag. I sure would like to hear from someone who owns one, though.

Doesn't look bad for a summer weight bag. And the price is right.

Just saw this. Carry weight is a little higher but still not too bad.

Don't own one but i have sold Eureka products for years as well as Slumberjack. The fill is what I would consider 2nd or 3rd generation fill though - Heavier, loses loft quickly and difficult to stuff small.
I consider 1st generation fill as solid core fibers (60's and 70's) and 2nd generation fills as Hollofil 808 Hollofil II (hollow core and 4 channel hollow core fibers - 70's) and 3nd generation as Quallofil (7 channel hollow core Fibers 70's) which looks similar to the Eureka Proprietary fill that this bag has.
Since then there have been better fills (Lite Loft, Microloft, Therma loft, Polarguard/3D/Delta to name a few).
I think that the Cimarron is an entry level bag with entry level features (thinks scouts and car camping) - If that is what you desire - Get it.
However, don't be surprised if it turns out to be a 4.0-4.5 pound 35 degree bag that you are carrying around within a few years.
