Anyone used or know anything about this sleeping bag? Looks like might be a good summer bag, good hammock bag maybe. What are your thoughts?

Interesting photo of the milk jug. Another weigh to look at it is the bag is lighter than a pint of beer. Without the glass!
I wonder if you might get cold spots rolling around. There's only two attachment points per side and these aren't really points, rather bands that can move away from the pad. I use pad locks as I roll around a lot in my bag. I still have to readjust the sleeping bag and the mat sometimesat night, as I manage to lift up some on the pad. Probably not a problem for more static sleepers. Maybe some one will review it.

Here's a blurb about it. I bet there's more if you search the archives.

It's a useless bag especially if you are a side sleeper because it does not have any down on the back. So if you rollover the only separation between you and the cold is a thin sheet. My hiking buddy hates his.
Looks like Sierra Designs is trying to cash in with a copy of Jeremy Padgett -Down Quilt design. Just by making a slight addition of thin Bottom layer, hood and less Down. I rather get the kit from Thru-hiker and have a good 20-30 degree bag for 3-4 oz more.
