Fantastic bag

Rating:*****

I bought an antelope a few years ago and love it. The quality is second to none and it will keep you warm, maybe too warm. I find myself stripping down and leaving it unzipped almost every time I've been in this bag it's so warm. I'm around 5'11" and got the long (6'6"). It leaves enough room to stuff clothes down in the bottom to keep 'em warm for the morning, and if you're prone to cold feet, it helps that situation.

The one thing I would add to the bag, is a little velcro pouch on the inside for watch/headlamp/etc.

Though the price is steep, WM makes some of the best bags out there that will last you a lifetime.

Damn the price and get one!

Man, this bag sure is warm. I have the Microfiber version and I slept in it on a trip up Mt. San Jacinto and the temps plummeted to 8F. I was really, really warm and had to peel off some layers of clothing. I'm an average sleeper (neither hot nor cold) but this bag made me think I was a hot sleeper when I'm really not! Western Mountaineering has the most conservative rating in the industry it seems and this bag is no exception. Damn the price and get one.

ALL WM Bags are worth the Xtra $

Four season bag in many areas, three plus in the rest. Warm & lightweight plus water resistant. Many times it's too warm to fully zip up. Can be used as a down comforter if this is the case. Roomy all the way around & sooooo
comfy. If you can imagine what it would be like to sleep in a warm cloud, the Antelope would be it!

Great Bag

If you are looking for a down bag to keep you warm, this is your bag. If there's anything you can say bad about this bag, it might be that it is too warm. I have taken this bag on several trips, and, many times, while the people I was with were putting on everything they had before going to bed, I was taking layers off.
