Holy [*]this thing is warm!

Rating:*****
WOW! This is one unbelievably warm sleeping bag. The conduit SL laminate works perfectly. Completely waterproof. This bag is almost to warm, i would not recommend this unless it is extremely cold. They are being modest at -40 degrees, I have Had this bag below -60 alone, and was plenty warm. If you had thick baselayers on a warm fleece midlayer on in this bag it could probably go down to -80 degrees easily. It is slightly heavy for my style, but you really cant get much better than this. I am 5'9, 150 lbs and i have plenty of room in the reg. I highly recommend this sleeping bag for anyone on antartic expeditions and 8000 meter peaks.

I love my Ghost Sleeping Bag.

Rating:*****
I stayed nice & warm on our last expedition to Aconcagua, and my Ghost was put to the test many nights with raging winds and blowing snows. The Conduit coating also kept the moisture out and me nice & dry. I am only 5'3" so I would have liked a shorter bag as I found cool air creeping in to the extra space near my feet. Also it would be great if there was some way to make the zipper easier to do up as it always seem to get caught in the material. Other than that though I wouldn't trade my Ghost for anything!

LOVE THIS BAG!!!!

Rating:*****
This is one of the best sleeping bags I have ever purchased. I have spent many winter camping nights in this bag on and off mountains. Due to the laser seams it doesn't have any cold spots, the conduit fabric wicks moisture very well, and it has kept me warm and dry. This bag is worth it's weight in gold!!!

wonderful sac - but for the price i think that there are others that may rival performance and possibly pac a little tighter.
