It’s great! Perfect fit and color.

Good bag at a fair price
I took this bag with me this weekend for on overnight in the White Mountains. Overnight temps were forecasted to be 30 F with high winds and Thunderstorms. I also brought a liner to be safe but I didn’t end up using it. We hiked Mt. Moosilauke and I spent the night in Beaver Brook shelter on an egg shell Therm-a-Rest, wearing a hat, thermal shirt, my hiking pants and no socks. The bag held up well although I did become a bit chilly and reached for my EB microtherm 650 down jacket at about 3 or 4 in the morning. With the jacket on I was good, neither hot nor cold and I slept well.
My take is it is a great bag for the price. Packed small, light and was comfortable until about 35 F but in a tent or with some dry layers and a liner it could easily work at lower temps. I can’t speak to its long-term durability yet but I would imagine if you take decent care it should last a good amount of time. I’m more than satisfied with its performance on the maiden voyage.

Compact - for packing and sleeping
I wanted a lighter and more packable bag that still kept me warm and cozy. I got half the deal. My first trip was a fall backpack at high elevation on a rainy evening. We crawled into our bags for warmth. The first time I turned to my side, however, I realized that the bag was not particularly insulated on the bottom, and turned with me. My butt was cold! Sleeping on my back only was the solution My previous bag was made for women, wider at the hips. I think that meant that when I turned on my side it was wide enough so that the bottom stayed on the bottom. If this bag had that extra space, it probably wouldn't matter as much how little insulation there is in the bottom of it. Summer uses of the bag have been much more pleasant. Again, I love how compact it is for packing. I do wish the zipper went further down though, so I could stick my feet out when hot.

Wipe the smile off my face
I had used a combo of a three season bag and a liner for colder temps. It worked yet was bulky and not totally effective. Decided to add a cold weather bag and was on a budget. The Quandary has exceeded my expectations. It is amazing how comfy it is as soon as I get in. The fabric is very soft. Zipper works great. Ergonomically correct body fit from head to toe. The bag is great from 50f down. So far the coldest I have slept in is 35F in a hammock without an underquilt and I was comfy (I did have a small blanket under me which helped but now have an underquilt so look forward to a perfect sleep. The stuff sack is easy to use and I do store the bag hanging from the integrated loop at the foot of the bag. I have not lost one feather, it does not have a funky odor, and I will be purchasing another for my wife because she is impressed as well.

Better for warmer temps
Took this bag to southern Utah last weekend with 50 degree temps at night and was toasty hot. Slept last night up the Provo canyon in 35 degree temps and froze my feet off. Ended up sleeping in the car. I certainly don't expect it to be as warm as a 0 degree bag, but for what it is rated I would have thought it would be warmer than it is...I usually have to pair it with a down blanket at my feet to keep warm. Also, the drawstring is a bit loose and doesn't stay secure around my face.Other than that, it's great quality and is a beautiful color (mine is teal). The zipper design is easy to use and doesn't snag at all which is a plus, though sometimes I wonder if the cold air seeps in through the zipper seams...

Couldn't be happier
I only recently received my Quandry 15 so I havent yet gotten a chance to get it out on the trails but I cant wait to get out there with it this weekend. The bag seems to be incredibly well constructed and after following the instructions upon arrival, it fluffed back up to a thick comfy cloud. I'm very happy with the pack size, weight, and shape. The people at Hyke and Byke have been incredibly helpful and responsive... even while I'm sure I was being a bit overbearing asking so many questions before purchasing. The bag arrived far sooner than I thought it would and was packed securely in the compression sack.
I couldnt be happier with this purchase and have already told a few friends about it.
Thanks for a wonderful product and a wonderful company!

Exceptional product at an affordable price
I want to start off by thanking the hyke and byke company for bringing such a great product at a price that an average person that is just getting into backpacking can afford. I’m new to the backpacking game but I’m already on my third sleeping bag. The first was a bag from Walmart and it was terrible I definitely got what I paid for. The second was a bag by Teton sports I don’t want to run down this company by any means, the bag was a 20 degree bag which I really wanted to like, it was very comfortable and it seemed to be of good quality but I took it camping for the first time and the weather got down to the low 40’s and I was shivering cold all night even with a layering system on so I returned that bag and bought the hyke and byke. I want to say that I can not be more impressed with this company and the bag that I purchased from them. I used it for the first time last weekend and the temperature got down to 31 degrees and I didn’t even realize it was that cold until I woke up and looked outside my tent and seen frost on the ground. I was worm and cozy all night long, finally I had found a bag that kept me worm and and was quality made and it didn’t break the bank to purchase it. Also in case anyone is wondering I did not change anything else as far as what I was wearing for clothing when I slept in this bag.

Passed the test
My insulated sleeping pad failed on a recent fall backpacking trip to the high Uintas and I was forced to sleep on the ground in windy, snowy weather. Temps were 15-20 degrees (F) through the night and the Quandry Ultralight performed beautifully. Very light and compact while meeting it's 15 degree (F) temp rating. Far outperforms it's price tag!

Light, Compact, and Warm for the Wind Rivers
I bought this tent for a Wind River backpacking trip this summer. It met all expectations. The tent packed easily into the bottom of my pack with an easy to use stuff bag. The zippers are well made and run well. The bag lofted out and was comfortable and durable on the six day trip. The temperatures on our trip never got below freezing, so I didn't get to test it out in bitter cold. It was a bit clammy on warm days, as expected, but should serve well in bracing cold.

Super quality, super insulated! held up in Death Valley.
Took this thing out to Death Valley for a weeklong Fall Camping trip and it was awesome!!! Temperatures got down to maybe 25 - 30 degrees at night and this was perfect. The first night I got too hot because I underestimated the insulation power of this lightweight bag.
Another thing, the materials would seem very very delicate (like they could tear easily) but they are surprisingly VERY durable! We slept on the ground so we could see the stars and one night, I guess I had moved around in my sleep to much and in the morning my bag was way off of my sleeping pad and on the sharp pointy beautiful rocks. I just knew I had ripped a hole in my bag but when I checked it was fine.... this happened three or more nights afterwards haha!
Great great buy, not to mention the bag looks amazing.

Great bag, used it while hunting and camping on ...
Great bag, used it while hunting and camping on a ridge this winter, the bag kept me warm enough to have to unzip a little despite heavy winds and snow on the tent. Light enough to pack in and compresses to a small size.

Great price, great performance
Got this a while ago but waited to review it until I had it in the field for a good test. Well, after seven days of backpacking in the Wind River mountains in Wyoming, when temps got into the 20s at night and we woke to ice on our tents and water bottles, this bag passed the test. I was wondering how it would stack up to more expensive bags, and have to say that it performed as well. I liked the construction, how much it packed down, the great stuff sack it comes with. I am from Florida and have trouble staying warm on cold nights, but never felt uncomfortable in this bag. For a mummy, it is not constricting, with a roomy foot box, but does keep the heat in.

Awesome customer service! Sleeping bag is very lightweight, and compresses to a very small size- great backpacking tent. Once inside, the bag is very warm and roomy. I got this as a gift for someone, and they love it so far.

Very warm, roomy, and packable
I'm 6' and 230 pounds so I got the long size for the extra room and I'm very satisfied with the roominess of the bag, length and width. I used my QUANDARY 15°F ULTRALIGHT DOWN SLEEPING BAG for a week long Colorado back country route motorcycle trip. It was easy to pack and carry on my very light motorcycle (Honda 250 Rally). It was very warm, especially the foot area on the couple of high elevation camping nights that were in the low 30s; I really appreciated the warmth because my feet chill easily. On the nights at low elevation I unzipped it some so it wasn't too hot but this is definitely a cold weather sleeping bag. I deduct one point from perfect because on the cold nights I slept in black jeans and could see small but visible traces of down had gotten through the liner and onto my jeans. I would recommend this bag to a friend.

Great Bag
I am a back country hunter and I couldn't be more pleased with the Quandary bag I purchased. Light weight, compact, and very warm. It is also very spacious for a mummy bag.

I just received my Quandary 15 deg sleeping bag, I am so in love with it! It is even better than I imagined it would be!
If I didn’t live in Florida I would probably sleep in it every night!!
Thank you all for your amazing products and customer service!

Nice Bag!
I bought the Quandary bag for a four day hike through the White Mountains. It only got down to the upper 40's, so I stayed very warm. I actually had to leave it half unzipped with only light thermal bottoms on. I did also have a sleeping mat, but it only has a R value of 2. The bag was a pleasure to sleep in and not too tight. I'm a side sleeper and was a little concerned about how tight some of the mummy bags are. The Quandary left enough room for me to bend my legs some. I should mention I'm only 5' 6". The main reason I purchased the Quandary is the pack size and price. I reviewed a lot of other bags and this one packed down pretty small compared to some. You can certainly get smaller, but you'll pay much more. I also like that it came with a cinch sack. All in all, I enjoyed the bag. No complaints yet.

I guide, this is the best
I rarely write reviews, but the Hyke & Byke sleeping bags (I have 3) have filled a decades existing solution for the hiker. Down bags that are properly constructed and affordable. I lie there at night looking up at the sky & think, five stars for Hyke & Byke.

Highly, highly, highly recommend this bag!
I have yet to review anything that I have bought but this sleeping bag deserves to be the first! My buddy recently bought a Big Agnes lightweight sleeping bag and has been raving about it BUT it was a couple hundred bucks and I wasn't about that nonsense. I have been backpacking for a couple of years now and have done a couple 20+ mile hikes and have been slowly upgrading my equipment. I planned a trip to Escalante, Utah this past weekend and needed a cold weather bag so I started searching and came across Hyke & Byke. I considered getting a liner as well but thought I could just layer up if need be. The first night it got down to about 22 degrees so I had two pairs of leggings, a warm weather long sleeve and my Patagonia Nano Puff. It took about 10 minutes for me to get warmed up and in the middle of the night I had to lose all my extra layers because I felt like I was in an oven! So impressed with this bag. Not to mention, my buddy with his $400 bag woke up telling me he had a chill all night. So, needless to say, this bag is legit. Light, super compressible yet extremely fluffy when you roll it out. Highly, highly, highly recommend this bag!

She Slept Comfortable Both Nights
We bought the sleeping bag for my daughter's first time tent camping with nights in the low 30's. She slept comfortably both nights. She loved the bright turquoise color, too. I was impressed by the personal emails we received from the company asking us how it worked for us, letting us know to contact them with any concerns, and offering cleaning suggestions. I will definitely buy from this company again.

Prepare for a Good Night's Sleep
Hiked and camped in Wayne National Forest in 20 degree weather. This bag was toasty warm. I'll add that I didn't have a tarp under the tent and moisture leaked through. Not a problem in this bag, didn't even feel it. I'm slightly over 6ft tall and weigh 195 lbs. Shake the bag out and fluff it for a couple mins, hop in, and prepare to sleep like a baby. Highly recommended!! Also, bought the bag myself, and leaving this review voluntarily. These guys are very proactive in communications, care about your experience, and want you to enjoy the bag. Take a chance, you won't regret it.
