I had thermals and fleece pants on as a couple months ago I got caught out and we just about suffered hyperthermia, was the coldest I have ever been and woken by pain and the sensation of my legs shutting down is an experience I wish never to repeat.

Was super warm, too warm with the pants on, just sleeping on the ground (no mat).
Bag design is awesome with lots of stretch and it's not a suffercating design so allows lots of wiggle room which makes for a better nights sleep. I'm about 6 foot so went for the long model which was primo for extra room and didn't feel like I lost any heat retention because of it.

All and all, stoked with the purchase.

Great to hear. I really like the stretchy material of the Downhugger and the lightness too. That bag is a +40F so being warm under the comfort rating is good.
