Mountian Hardwear 5 degree bag

[blackdawg]

I am considering pulling the trigger on the Mountain Hard Wear Lamina Z torch 5 degree synthetic bag. Anyone have experience with this bag? Are the temp ratings highly overrated? Durability? Sizing? Zippers? Reasons to shy away or dive in? I signed up for the constant emails and they have tossed a 15% discount out there, so for around 180 bucks after discount it appears to be a good deal if the bag is quality. Comments? Thoughts?

They are EN rated so the ratings are consistent.

I personally think the hyper lamia torch 0 is a better bag and lighter. My only issue with MH are their bags tend to be slender.

The ability to ventilate if the temps are a little warmer has always worked for me, it appears the Hyperlamina center zip doesn't fully zip open, that somewhat worries me because I need my bag to cover a pretty wide range of temps 10-45 degrees typically. I am sure it is lighter and higher quality,,the old price thing,,,you get what you pay for. I haven't tried a center zip bag and can't picture how it could be comfortable sleeping if it was vented with my sleeping habits. I am open to other synthetic bag ideas in the 275 or less price range, but my googling research points to this Lamina z torch bag.
