Summer Archer Ultra-Light Duck Down Winter Sleeping Bag Survival Temperature Rating of -22F

I tested this out in low 20's F with some brutal Wyoming wind. I used a light sleeping pad (to separate myself from the snow), a fleece liner, wore some thick long johns, multiple socks,hat, gloves, and a down jacket and threw a very thin tarp over myself. For a few hours I stayed warm enough, then as the temperature dropped in the wee hours of the morning my feet got unbearably cold. I tried to bring my legs in closer for heating, but the bag is a little tight so it was a stretch. I am not exactly large weighing in only around 120 and 5,9 it feels a little tight and short. I feel extra space could have helped with warming and the head portion would have covered me better. It is a very decent bag however is doesn't fit into a backpack easily and is a little heavy, so it would be best for car camping or not extended hiking. In more ideal conditions (not low 20's) it is quite warm and cozy. The built in compression sack is great. When it gets a little wet it smells like dirty wet dog, however losses the stench if you allow it to ventilate and dry. Overall glad i have it, at least to stash in the car for emergencies.

I used this bag on a 3 week trip. The temps were between 30-40f. It definitely kept u warm but the bag has a terrible smell and after coming home I still can't get rid of the animal smell... I'm wondering if it's Bc it's duck? That is the only complaint on the bag though.

Very well made sleeping bag that is a good size to sleep in (I purchased the long on account of being tall). Nice and warm, although I still need to camp in very cold conditions to fully test it out. Compression packing is great, but the overall packed size is a little larger than standard.

I've only tested this out once, but purchased it for a trip to Iceland later this summer where cold weather performance will become important. Very impressed with the quality for the price so far, but really won't be able to fully judge until I've had some deeper field testing.

It feels well made, but zippers occasionally snag and the "suggested" tempature rating is vastly inadequate.. I used the bag for the past two nights with the temp lows at around 40°F and was still rather chilly in the bag, particularly around the feet compartment.

Heavier than advertised, uneven filling, does not do the job.I did not expect miracles from a $100 sleeping bag, but the moment I unrolled this one I knew it was a mistake to spend even a dollar on it. I cannot tell if the filling is actually down, but it clumps up almost like old polyester and leaves big areas with no fill at all, especially near the side seams/zipper. No amount of shaking, tumbling or manual fluffling up seemed to help. Those are some serious cold patches.The box this arrived in was massive, but the sleeping bag itself, in its compression sack, was 16 by about 8 inches. It was advertised as "a tad over" four pounds, but it felt somewhat heavier. Put on the scales, it weighed in at 4lbs14oz, so two ounces shy of 5 pounds. It was also extremely difficult to get back in the stuff sack.

As others have stated, this bag doesn't seem to be any sort of down. It's pretty lumpy and has a pretty strong smell, so maybe it's feathers. It's also quite heavy considering it's supposed to be "Ultra-Light." I used it as a blanket one night because I was cold inside my other sleeping bag. It was ok for that and for $25, I guess I'm not going to complain too much.

I've had this sleeping bag for about a year now and contacted Archer customer service about a rip in the bag that caused a significant amount of down to fall out. They never gave any sort of response, and the phone number listed rings repeatedly with no answer. Now the zipper is broken, making my bag unusable. I feel I spent too much to just cut my losses.
