Anyone used this overbag, or know anything about it other than what's on the website?

I scored this bag back in Oct for $62! :eek: They had it marked down, but forgot to raise it back up and I lucked out...
I have used it once when the temp was cold, seemed to do the job nicely with a three season bag, I have yet to use it in the winter though; Winter??? What is that here in the NE this year? I also used it a few times as the only bag I slept in a few nights at home when it was chilly and it was nice.
It fits my zero degree Sierra Designs synthetic bag nicely. I like how there are zippers on each side, so you can kind of peel the front down on itself so it does not matter if you have a right or left zip. It came with a cotton storage bag as well as a compression bag. The material is supposed to be very water resistant, but I have yet to fieldtest that aspect out yet.
I plan to be carrying it this winter as an emergency bivy on long day hikes, which will give me a few degrees more then the Marmot Trails and bivysack combo I was carrying.
So far, with what little use I have had with it, it seems to be a decent bag.
