I have to put my two cents worth of applause for the arc alpinist as well.
I sleep warm, and have been down around 15 degrees in the bag and been
comfortable.  I also put it in my pack last in its own garbage bag, and
don't stuff it.  That's one of my life's goals - not to stuff this sleeping
bag...

Life is good!

Steve,

I've gotta say, I love my Nunatak Arc Alpinist (http://www.nunatakusa.com/)
sleeping bag.  I'm still figuring out how best to bug proof my sleeping on
hot nights while on the trail, but for warmth and weight, it can't be beat.
I tested it in backyard a couple weeks ago, and was completely comfortable
in the 25 degree wind.  My face was freezing until I turned on my side and
pulled it over my head; then I slept like a baby.
I've also slept with it on 60+ degree nights, and its comfy as a blanket,
with a leg splayed out to the side.
In the next couple weeks, I'll find a free rainy night and try it out in the
wet, I expect the EPIC shell will win out over measly Bay Area rain.
