For going on 15 years I've been using the same Northface 0 sleeping bag (I'm pretty it's the Snowshoe 0 but I'd have to double check) and it's been great for all my needs. I don't sleep in super cold temps - down to 17F has been the lowest for me.
It's light, durable, and very compressible. It's thick enough to be warm in those temps but it's also valid for summer, I just sleep on top of it or unzip it for warmer months.
Although it's rated to 0, that time I was in 17F overnight was the lowest I felt I could tolerate it without adding a liner or something.

No, I don't go into his tent with him...but I will check it out a bit better.
It's hard for me to justify spending the $ when I don't backpack all that often.
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

One of the worst videos ever, but a cool song.

I pretty much always sleep in a liner. Only exception is on the hottest nights when I'm uncomfortably warm, which is rare. It weighs a few ounces, adds a bit of warmth, but the really important thing is it keeps my quilt a little cleaner. Washing down is a chore.

You mean the liner keeps your sleeping bag cleaner?

Yeah, the sacrificial bag liner keeps the bag a little cleaner. 🙂
