Good ultralight bag
I've had this bag for about a year, and overall I'm really happy with it. Great things: super light weight; trim cut reduces weight and increases warmth; full length zipper means its mateable with many other full-zip bags; bag's coating is fairly water resistant. The only con I can think of is that the zipper tends to snag on the very thin shell of the bag, but that's a decent trade-off for the weight savings over most other 15 degree bags.
As far as sizing goes, I'm 6'0, 150 and I fit the long version with room enough at the bottom of my bag to accommodate ski boot liners, while the girth of the bag is just roomy enough for gloves, nalgenes, and everything else I might need to dry out or prevent from freezing during ski tours. Although the cut is trimmer than the run-of-the-mill car camping bag, it's pretty manageable, especially considering that this kind of cut allows for the bags high warmth/weight ratio.
