Any reports on this bag? The REI guy was pretty up on it.

I've used one for 4 years. Great bag for the money.
Very roomy, and the temp rating has been right on for me personally.
I know theres lighter bags out there, but other than that I cant find a bad thing to say about it.
I recommend it.

I had an Encampment, which is the same bag with sythetic fill and now have a Deep Creek which is basically the same bag with a waterproof shell. Love the Big Agnes'. Been in the low 20s with both no problem using the Insulated air core pad. Very comfortable sleeping system imo.

Huge fan here! I have the Grouse Mountain which is 650-down as well and it is very comftorble. I will carry the extra pound to sleep well! I actually sold my Marmet Helium and went back to BA bags.
Good Shooting!

Any advantage to the synthetic fill over down?

Yes, if the down gets wet, you don't sleep. If the synthetic gets wet, you will get some sleep and your bag will be dry in the morning. Advantage snythetic.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I've never had a problem keeping my bag dry. 'Course I also live in the Rocky Mountains.

Notice I said "if" they get wet, I wasn't trying to discourage him from buying a down bag, that's his choice. He asked a simple question and I gave him a simple answer.

Another 'Thumbs Up' vote for the Lost Ranger.
Like others have mentioned, not super light if your looking to cut weight, but its a nice warm, roomy bag. I sleep good inside.
