Nice and light

Great sleeping bag, packs quite small and is very light. Sleeps nice and warm.
Dislikes
The zipper is tricky. It's a tight fit, not very roomy.

It’s not the zipper, exactly...

The Phase 20 is about the lightest full mummy bag available for the temperature rating. The temp rating is at least somewhat conservative. I used it at 25f with light socks and no thermal layers and was quite comfy. It also compresses almost bizarrely small. The supplied stuff sack actually easily fits the bag, a StoS pillow, and a puffy jacket. The hood is deep, and fits almost like a cap. I’m 6’0” and the regular is easily long enough.
Dislikes
Other reviews either hate this bag for the zipper or don’t seem to notice it much, as with the OGL review. The issue, which I think would be obvious if I could post a picture, is the design and fit of the bag itself, not the zipper. The fit above the shoulder area tapers abruptly, and the zipper follows this angle. If your fit in the bag creates pressure at this point, the zipper will not want to move through it. If you don’t, it’s no problem at all. Other than that, the width in the leg area is rather limited, making side sleeping less comfy.

Worth it.

Overall this is a great bag. The first night I used it, the temp got down to the high 20's. I slept in my base layer and I was warm enough to sleep well. The next day I forgot to put the cap on my water bottle. After hiking a few miles I lost about a 1/4 liter. It soaked through my pack and through the stuff sack my bag was in. The foot box got a little wet but It still performed fine that night. I definitely think the down treatment makes a difference. Oh and it's super light and stuffs down very small.
Dislikes
It does have a delicate feel to it but I expected that. The thing I really don't like is the zipper. It snags very easily. You can't just passively zip the bag up and go. However after getting a feel for it, I have become much better at using the zippers with out snagging. If the zipper worked a little better I would give it 5 stars because everything is what I expected.
