Anybody got any thoughts on this sleeping bag? Seems pretty sweet (especially for the price) and got Backpacker Editor's Choice 2007, but fill weight is suspiciously low for a 20 degree bag. Anybody have any experience/thoughts?

Purchased this bag back around 03 because of it's low weight and price. Rated to 20 degree's but was getting cold on nights with temps around 35. Brought the bag back and staff noticed that down fill was under filled and insulation would shift from the top of the bag and settle into the sides leaving no insulation on top.
Had a correspondence with the EMS sleeping bag designer and he mentioned that the baffle construction at the time would be to expensive to factor in for the price of the bag they were selling?
That was 5 years ago, hoping things have changed, never the less would advise inspection before making a purchase.
Cheers

Sounds like good advise to see it in person. It looks like about the same price/value as an REI sub Kilo +20 bag.
