I purchased the Big Agnes Gilpin Sleeping Bag to hike the historical Chilkoot Trail. Starting from the Pacific tidewater in Alaska, through thick rainforest, over a mountain pass through British Columbia to the head waters of the Yukon River this 33 mile hike can throw just about anything at you. We were lucky but did experience cool rain the first night, crossed over a fair bit of snow in the pass, and had to secure our tents against strong winds on the second. The third night was disturbed only by the call of the loons on aptly named Bare Loon Lake. Through it all my Gilpin bag performed very well. I purchased this bag to keep within a budget, as it was on sale. The only complaint I have would be the little draft I felt when on the windy night the zipper side of my bag was to the outside wall of our tent so think I might pass this bag on to my husband (He suffers from sleeping bag envy now!) and try to get one with a left-hand zipper so it will be to the inside. Having the Thermarest in the underside pad sleeve was fabulous - no more sliding off the sleeping pad in the middle of the night! I would recommend this bag.
