Seems like an OK deal, just doesn't pack down as well as a 100% down bag and is also a lot heavier (3 lbs. 6.4 oz.), so not an ideal backpacking bag. Seems ok for car camping in cold weather though.

Same idea… not the best option for backpacking. But the price range, it seems very good deal.
3lbs. 6.4oz. for a 15 degree rated bag isn't too bad at all. As an example this Helium 15[marmot.com] is on sale for 2.3x the price ($189) and its 2lbs. 4.5oz. which a bit more than a pound lighter. This is not a minuscule difference, but at the same time it's not so much a deal breaker this bag should be regulated to car camping only. Especially if you want a bag that hits many check-boxes, but that you won't use day in and day out like hiking the PCT or something way more burdensome.
Side note: I use a Klymit KSB 20 that is 3.1lbs. and I took that into freezing temps with snow on the ground for an overnight photo camp - the sleeping bag was weight was nowhere near the heavy stuff I was carrying.
