Great bag
I have found this bag to be very light, less than 3 pounds for the 90" long series. Keeps it's loft, and stuffs into a smaller stuff bag well. I have yet to get into cold temps with it, but will update those results soon. My 2010 model bag is rated at 15 degrees, not the 25 listed in the description.
I am 6'3" and 240 lbs, and have found most bags don't allow room for me to stretch out. The 90" model allows me to stretch out and the extra wide shoulder width lets me relax, and not feel mummified. Other long models just haven't been a good fit. Once again, The North Face's diversity and high quality comes through...
