    Great review. I just got one and am looking forward to using it very soon in the field. Thank you!

    Good review. As a comparison to a few other high quality down, cold weather bags: • Both the Feathered Friends and Western Mountaineering bags may be slightly better, but cost more. Both offer a small range of options, but none are budget friendly at all. • The Therm-a-Rest Parsec is a little more roomy, and slightly tougher, less expensive, and has better treated down, but it's heavier, and not quite as warm. Their Hyperion is less roomy, more simple. • Nemo's cold bags have more room than all others to move around, but only 650 fill. The 800 fill Riff only comes rated to 20 F. • Sea to Summit Spark series is even lighter, hyperlight with 850+ down, but not as good of a zipper. Same thin 10 denier nylon. Arguably fragile. Ratings a good 5 degrees colder than claimed. • REI's Magma 15 is super light and good quality, but also a good 5 degrees colder than claimed (eg. it's more like a 20 degree bag). (I work at REI, as a disclaimer). As a cost to weight to features ratio, the Phantom is about as good of high-end down bag you're going to find anywhere. I can't imagine anyone buying one and regretting it.

    0:17 I guess the sleeping bags aren't in the stuff bag, right? I hope they're not, because they look huge.

    I usually "Like" at the end of a video, but as soon as you mentioned having to pinch the plastic doohickey or else you'd get stuck, I paused to "Like" this, put it in my "Camping" Playlist, and leave this comment. Here's to many subscribers! Cheers, mate.

    2:34 Yeah!? That is the most commonly and simplest form of stitching. Explaining it like it was something special and amazing makes "Tuck stitching" sound more like BS-ing.

    Nice! Is the compression bag included? Waterproof?? Thanks!

    Thoughts on the -40 of this bag vs the Western Mountaineering Bison? Heading to Denali.

    I heard there is a pocket, but can’t find one on my 0F bag. Can you confirm?
