I have a Wallcreeper in down that I really like.
It is great for hammocking, and as a inner bag for really cold. The down is rated to 25o. It is great to wear.
My only concern is near fires. I've holed lots of clothes..hate to burn my bag!
It withstands coffee spills, water drips etc (Pertex), but not laying in a puddle.
Versitile, well made.
I like Primaloft too..

I had the regular sized Primaloft bag. It was accurately rated. GREAT hammock bag, especially for a Hennessy. The info said the regular would fit up to 5'10", I'm 5'8" and I maxed it out for length. I only sold mine because I went to quilts for hammocking.

It is similar to my Feathered Friends Winter Wren bag.
Nice versatility.

Not really, the Winter Wren is a good 25-30 degrees warmer. I had to vent in mine last month at 19 degrees.

I've only tried mine out overnight in my apartment. Just got it and can't wait to hit the Trail.

You made an excellent choice for a sleeping bag. I have both Wrens, winter and standard.

I have an older model 25 deg. down version. It saves having to carry a down jacket for cold times around camp:

You look cozy there Brooklynkayak! How is the comfort when sleeping with the hood?
With what take-a-knee said regarding the length, I guess they should be tried before buying. I'm 6'3", wonder how the long would fit. Actually don't know if I could get one right now, but I like the concept.

I've got 2 Wallcreepers....the hood is FANTASTIC, probably one of the best hoods out there amongst any manufacturer. When you study Wallcreepers note there are many models with varying amounts of down. One I've got is rated to 38 and the other to above 20F....2 weekends ago I used a Wallcreeper as a peapod and a PEAPOD as a double system around my hammock on Mt.Rogers---was comfy at 9.6F.
For those that know of the Hilleberg BivAnorak, the Wallcreeper and it make an excellent combo.
The down side of a Wallcreeper is weight...the reality is that the weight/warmth ratio is beaten by many other bags on the market. The ability to wear around before sleep is good but I wouldn't want to get near a campfire.
