There are many alternatives to the Phantom, many with better quality materials. For example, the Marmot Atom is a 40 degree ($240) bag that weighs a mere pound and a couple ounces and has 850+ goose down and a Pertex quantum fabric that repels water so you can lay out in the stars whilst repelling the dew in that morning fog. Marmot also offers warmer bags with slightly more weight using the same material. The North Face Cat's Meow is another alternative and for those looking for an investment sleeping bag that they plan on using for the next 15-20 years can look to Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends. Both bags are handmade with 850 goose down in the USA and are superlight.

A 32 oz nalgene is 7.8x3.6, while this sleeping bag in a stuff sack in 10x7. A much better comparison is a 2 liter bottle. This product in fact is not about the size of a nalgene.
