You have yo add the bag to the cart to see the price.

I am pleased with my Disco 15. This bag may be of interest to some, though, since the price is not advertised.

Yes because when you're not freezing at night you'll be thankful you have a good quality sleeping bag that keeps you warm. I've been on the other end of it freezing at night because I didn't have a warm enough bag and slept terribly. You'll be thankful you spent money on a good bag with the correct rating.

Hey buddy I was just kidding, I had this bag for the last 6-7 years.
I have used it several times during fall, winter and spring camping.
The best use was, when we camp near Grand canyon in Arizona in middle of winter.
I couldn't recommend more.

This is going to be a tight fit for "15 men". I'd think just the number of men alone will generate enough warmth.

Quote from secretwanderer :
My wife has the women's disco equivalent and we thought about upgrading to this model since there are not many other bags good for side sleepers, but the weight savings is not significant enough for us. Still fairly heavy.

This is still a pretty good deal though if you are a taller person (only long available) wanting a bag like this.
It's not on sale but I have the Sea to Summit Spark Ultralight 18F Sleeping Bag and it's a great side sleeper and significantly lighter than the disco, but also costs significantly more.

Men's long is 10 degree less warmer than women's. So be aware when ordering this one and read REI reviews!

That's actually true for most if not all sleeping bags on the market.

Is that because of this: "Many brands use the Comfort rating for women's bags and the Lower Limit rating for men's and unisex bags. " --- from the product pages, Disco 30 in this example.

Here's the full quote:

Many sleeping bags are rated for temperature by an independent testing protocol. REI and the broader industry now use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 23537 protocol, which improves on the older European Norm (EN) 13537 standard; you may still see older items in our assortment that were only EN tested. With either protocol, each bag gets a Comfort (or T-Comfort) rating and Lower Limit (or T-Limit) rating. The Comfort rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "cold sleeper" comfortable, and the Lower Limit rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "warm sleeper" comfortable. Ratings are based on a person wearing one long underwear layer and a pair of socks, sleeping on an insulated surface with a minimum R-value of 5.38. Many brands use the Comfort rating for women's bags and the Lower Limit rating for men's and unisex bags. Everyone's body and sleep comfort differ, and conditions of use (posture, clothing, sleeping pad R-value, wind, humidity, etc.) affect total insulation, so EN and ISO ratings are intended as a guideline to help you compare products, rather than a guarantee of warmth.

So ... add 20d or so to the comfort temp to get what you might be comfortable sleeping in without much clothing (underwear); for the Disco 30, comfort temp is 41, add 20, and in my estimation it's comfortable in 60d weather or warmer with no other clothing on; add more clothing as required to make yourself comfortable.

You have to dig into the details a bit to understand their rating; one shouldn't just read "Disco 30" for example and assume you can hop into the sleeping bag in 30 degree weather wearing nothing and be warm.
