Anyone with experiences with the Nemo Disco 15 sleeping bag? A nice price at REI right now, and it seems like a perfect replacement for my 30 ? year old North Face Cat's Meow.

I purchased the same bag last year and have used it on four BWCA trips.
I generally take my trips in early June and mid September and the bag has worked well for me. On my September trip a couple of weeks ago The low temperature was around 35 degrees and I slept comfortable wearing a tee-shirt and light weight long underwear bottoms. I think this bag would be comfortable for me down to around 30 degrees.
I really like the roominess and shape of this sleeping bag. I am a side sleeper and feel claustrophobic in mummy bags. I am 5'10 - 180 lbs. and this bag allows me to roll side to side without restriction. I also like the features of this bag. The neck baffle is nice on colder nights and does a good job of holding in the heat. There is a zippered pocket on the inside that works well for storing your cell phone and the foot area on the exterior of the bag is waterproof.
This is a bigger bag than a lot of the down bags available so the packed size and weight is larger than other down backpacking sleeping bags but is not unreasonable for canoe trips. It comes with a nice compression sack that helps minimize the extra bulk.
I have been more than happy with this purchase and feel this is a very good mid range down sleeping bag. I also bought mine off season at a nice discount which is a bonus.
Thanks, all! We ordered them. Closeout price of 35% off right now at REI.
For those following along with any interest, we ordered the Men's Regular and the Women's Long after reading many reviews. That combination put those two at the same length, and several women noted that the Women's Regular was overly short. We zip them together on our trips (left and right zippers) and I'm guessing that a lot of the twisting we've often experienced in our zipped-together Cat's Meows can be left in the past.
