The North Face Dark Star Sleeping Bag: -40 Degree Climashield Neo

When weight's not an issue, and wet, freezing weather is, The North Face Dark Star -40 Degree Sleeping Bag keeps you warm and dry. Overlapping shingle construction prevents cold spots from developing, even after years of bagging high-mountain peaks. A draft collar and full-length draft tube seal precious warmth in, while color-coded pull cords make for easy hood and chest adjustments. Store your altimeter watch in the large chest-level pocket for easy time-checks. The North Face included a mesh storage bag and stuffsack, so you're ready to pack and go.

Bottom Line: Grab The North Face Dark Star -40 Degree Sleeping Bag if you prefer lodging on the shady side of a glacier.

Big, Heavy, but great and well designed...

By: Andre Shoumatoff
April 29, 2008

I just wrote the review for the previous model, which is the polarguard model that is currently on sale, but it looks like nothing had particularly changed with the Dark Star other than the brand of filler. It is a very large, slightly heavy, but particularly bulky bag. Even with the compression stuff sac it still comes in at about 2.5" long by about 12-14" wide... So it takes up a lot of space... Stuffing doesn't quite take 15 minutes, but it is a little tough to get it in the sac and sinched up. It is a great basecamp or living quarters bag for expeditioning, but there are better bags to get. But with anything, you get what you pay for and the Dark Star is a particularly good deal IMO. I use it for all sorts of camping, anytime my 20 bag won't cut it including fall/spring and southern Utah in the winter, times where it rarely gets below 10F or 0 so the bag is complete overkill. It manages this very well of course, I manage the excess heat by simply venting the bag (aka having the zipper open in places) which works great. The bag (even though made in China or whatever) is still North Face quality, excellent design, good neck collars, etc...

My New Best Friend

By: Amanda
January 6, 2009

Highly recommended to other small women who are always cold on camping trips! I sleep cold and am used to suffering on camping trips, even in summer in my 20 degree rated bag. I bought the Dark Star to take on a Mt. Kilimanjaro climbing trip, where the temperatures never get close to -40, but still drop down below 0 near the summit. For the first time in my life, I was able to sleep without every item of clothes on that I own, and I loved it! It is extremely warm, but can be made comfortable on warmer nights by keeping it unzipped or not cinching up around the neck and shoulders. The thing is huge though, so make sure you have a backpack that can handle it's massive bulk.
