Well I got it yesterday afternoon and used it last night.
Ive seen reviews in both directions and I was a bit nervous. It only got down to the upper teens but I was very warm with just my underlayer on.
Ill update this from time to time as it gets colder out. Which one you end up getting? What did you pay?

$120 to my door. Used. Has a small tear in one bag that I need to address.
I got the 2nd generation one. Green patrol bag, black cold bag, woodland bivy.
Im now curious how to keep the bivy out of my face. I'm a slide sleeper so its not that big of a deal.

You can get a fiberglass rod and hold it up with that.

I like cold fresh air when I sleep. Not the warm air inside the bag. So I always close and position the opening so that I inhaled outside air while breathing. Except for some of the nights it dropped below 30.

Good buy at 120
On the real cold nights I'd pile up a mound of leaves and other loose material to sleep on. Give you a little more insulating between you and ice.
Cary a poncho and about 20 ft of para cord to make an improvised shelter.
All that and a little for and you will be surprised how cold it can get and you still sleep comfortably! Oh yeah no doubt . I sleep with my current bag "no bivy" down to single digits on a bed of spruce boughs. I'm also the same. I love the cold air. A cold nose is a sign of health right!?

If you exhale into a sleeping bag for long you will create a lot of moisture inside the bag from your breath.

Breathing through that and all the moisture stays right there. I've never spent enough time in a bag for condensation from breath to become an issue. Not saying it can't be a problem. I keep 3 baklava on me. Run them under my arm pits to dry them out.
