Very hard to beat this price for a 850 fill down bag. Too bad the mens went OOS so fast.

Keep an eye on REI. They are trying to pull out of some years of bad financial times and have been putting higher than average discounts on products when they go on sale. I've seen some other hardgoods at over 60% off, which was previously a discount they simply did not do (well, very rarely did).
I got the mens regular, arrived next day. It's super super light weight and not well filled. No way this would be warm below 45 degrees (as the reviews note). Also the regular size is super small. I'm 6' and couldn't even close to fit inside it, let alone zip it closed. Would fit a 5'9" 140 pound guy.

I'm returning it tomorrow so one should pop up. This would be good for warm summer only… it is light
All bags, not just this one, are rated at their "extreme / survival" temp -- its not their "comfort" temp -- typically a 30 degree bag will have a comfort temp around 45 which is where it is designed to be used. A 30 degree bag used in 30 degree temps would get you through the night alive in an emergency situation or with lots of layering, but thats it.
This isn't exclusive to this bag, it is the industry standard. Little misleading, but it is what it is. I run a bit cold and use a 15 degree bag often in the mountains in CO which is great for 30-40 degree overnight temps and of course I can unzip it if I need to. (I also have a quilt that I only use in the summer).

Reviews suggest this is a poor performing bag, even in 45-50 degrees F. Might be 850 fill, but unless you only camp in warm weather, I'd steer clear.

They have totally different sizes… men's and women's. And then they have small medium and large men's and women's.

So a 6'6" 280 pound guy can fit into a men's L or sometimes Extra Wide and Long and a 5' woman fits a woman's small.

Below each size in the "technical specs" are all the sizing

Yeah, the discounts now are similar to competitors…. But they have better return windows and no hassle stores

My wife and I primarily use these bags. While I agree that they are not too comfy below 40 degF, these are perfect for backpacking in summer and shoulder months. They are very light, compact, and soft. While they don't come with a compression sack, they are easily packable. I did use it once at 30 deg and even when completely layered I was shivering the whole night, so I do question their warmth ratings compared to other manufactures. But if you consider it say a 40deg bag it's totally worth it and I have never seen it this cheap.

Yeah except they were asking 350 for a 30 degree bag that seems to perform closer to a 45ish doesn't instill confidence

Exactly. There is a reason rei is failing at retail. They highest priced in an online competitive world. Why would I get this sleeping bag even at this "insanely low" price never seen when I can get a mountain hardware high end bag for same price via mountain hardware site sale? Even Gregory baltaro backpacks… rei has them for $226 in their clearance/outlet… for ages…but 2 seconds google shows als.com has them for $138-168… it's stuff like this. Or lowa Camino boots… rei had a 20% off coupon for them. Made it $290… but 2 min google and sportsman's had them for $178…

These days everyone is watching how they spend their money. We are supposedly lower middle class and we so squeezed we canceling apple one and only get these ancillary type products after googling to make sure we paying the best price offered in the market. Btw YouTube premium is great and comes with really good YouTube music and works on HomePods now w Siri… $13.99 mo for YouTube premium and music combined. Apple Music wanted $24 mo

My daughter and I have been using these for backpacking our local socal mountains since I bought them 50% off two years ago. Definitely warm enough for anything but winter here and they are very light and pack down small. At this price I ordered two more for the rest of the kiddos to have.
