What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist

This is a fantastic deal. I picked it up when it was $57 after shipping. Sweet deal considering you get the self-inflating air pad as well, which slips into the back so it doesn't slide around. Awesome. I have had no issues with the zipper, in my experience you always need to be patient with sleeping bag zippers. It's a bit bulky for the temp rating, but worth it. It DOES need a compression sack for the sleeping bag by itself; I would never want to use their sack that rolls up both the bag and the pad, too huge. If I got a compression sack, I'm confident I could compress it to a size that would be manageable for backpacking. Do it, it's a great buy. If you bought a pad separate, it'd be way more $.
