Actually I did. This bag though made it so much easier. Temp got to about 40 degrees. I was very warm in this bag inside my tent. Very comfortable, easy to move around in and I am 6'2, 185 lbs. Being able to open up the foot end of the bag lets in some air if you get too hot inside. Only con is that it is big, not a bag you can backpack with, but for campsite use, it is perfect. Highly recommend.

stay warm even the outside temperature is under 0 degrees Celsius, is certainly a good way to spend the night, perfect complement to your Vyvy, although it is not compact to pack, because it takes a good space in your backpack I think that there is no problem

We recently took these on a trip to Iceland. We slept in a van and only once did the temperature dip below 40 F so I can't really say much about its protection in extreme cold weather. But they were really comfortable and convenient. The carrying cases that come with it are useful too.

I did some extensive research before getting to this product. This sleeping bag is very good for the price you actually end up paying. I have looked at many other sleeping bags and also their reviews and this one definitely had the best ROI.
I would totally recommend this product.

Swiss Gear Crevasse 0-Degree Mummy Sleeping Bag (Rust/Orange)
PRICE
With a price tag of $48.88 with free shipping this bag is going to be hard to beat.Although the price tag doesn't mean much when your talking
about something as important as a sleeping bag it's hard to get a product of this caliber with all it's features in this value range. Now I'm not
about to say that this is the best sleeping bag I have ever used and/or tested but let me just say that it is defiantly worth the money. Trust me
when I say that this piece of gear could easily sell for at least $150!
Description
The description on this page doesn't really offer to much information so I will try to fill in some of the left out information as best I can. First off
this bag only comes in orange/rust color. Not that the color really matters but just so your aware of it I thought I would put that down so there is
no confusion. The Swiss Gear Crevasse 0-Degree Mummy Sleeping Bag is a half zip up style bag. Basically this means that you can't open up
the bag and lay it flat on the ground. Personally I like this because the added zipper would add wight to the product and might add some unwanted
air circulation into the bag. It also has a foot cut out for "some" circulation when needed. That is one feature that may go over looked when reading
the description on amazon but to any person really interested in this bag you should know that. Also what you didn't read (and trust me when I say
that you will want to know this) there is a closing draw string inside the bag located at the chest area. This makes it even more efficient on 0-25 degree
nights. Locking in body heat is the most impotent aspect of a sleeping bag and this little draw string helps add you in that. The hood is a little big but
still performs well enough so that it's not really an issue, besides it also has a draw sting that helps out with that. Oh and yes this has outside pocket
that can fit a phone but thats really a wast of material and wight as far as I am concerned so I wont talk about that other then letting you know that it's
there.
Packaging
Well what they didn't tell you is that this bag does not come with an efficient stuff sack.So you will most likely have to buy an after-market one from someplace
else but thats not really a big deal because you can buy one for like $5. However this bag does come with a really nice "storage" sack and it's vary nice but
it's shape and size is just not what most of us are looking for when trying to carry this sleeping bag around. I am glade it came with the bag it did though
because now I have someplace to store it when it's not being used "at least at home".
Size 34 x 88
I am 5'll and it fits perfect but I am sure anybody up to 6 foot would be fine. Keep in mind though that if you are using this as a hiking bag that a new stuff sack
will be needed and this bag is 3 pounds and doesn't "stuff" down vary small so this will most likely be on the outside of your hiking bag. I have a bag that is 6,200 ci
and there is no way it would fit inside my bag while leaving room for my other gear. Outside however leaves me ALL my room!
Summery
All in all I think this is a great buy. Sure there are better ones on the market but not at this price range. If your looking for a good sleeping bag and don't want
to spend a whole lot of cash but don't want to sacrifice quality then look no further. This bag will keep you warm in 0 degree nights, cool on not so cold nights
and will not put a big hole in your pocket. I have tested this out on some recent hiking/camping trips and the bag has held it's own. It stayed dray during some
water testings and never failed to keep me warm. Buy it, use it, take care of it and I will see you on the trail!
