The North Face Solar Flare Sleeping Bag: -20 Degree Down

The North Face Solar Flare Sleeping Bag goes above and beyond the average down sack to help you stay warm in ridiculously cold and wet conditions. A Shadowlite HyVent shell keeps moisture from soaking the 800+ fill down insulation, and baffled construction eliminates cold spots. The North Face added anti-compression pads to the underside to keep the insulation from getting squished and becoming useless when you need it the most.

Bottom Line: The bag you want for the coldest days of the season.

Solid Sleeping Bag

By: Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete
August 7, 2009

Just used this sleeping bag on Denali and it worked really well. I am 5'8 with an athletic build and the regular size offered plenty of room in length, and was generously cut in width, even with a mummy cut. This bag's strengths are its weight(it is lighter in comparison to other -20 to 0 degree bags), its got great features for synching around the head and neck for added warmth, great functioning details with the zipper, good color that resists wear, and nice 800+ goose down loft- that fluffs out well even after being compressed for long periods of time. Features to note are the anti-compression pads that add support, warmth, and improve thermal efficiency by up to 13% with some added comfort to the head, shoulders and feet, and also includes trapezoid box baffle that ensures a constant in volume with the added box baffle construction to areas vulnerable to cold for additional loft and warmth. A nice, cozy bag for winter excursions or expeditions. For men, this easily meets the standard of warmth, for females it just barely gets you to the -20.

The temperature ratings are determined in a controlled environment with not real people... It really depends 1. What kind of sleeper you are (I'm always cold at night and think my 20-degree-F bag is really only a 32-degree-F bag)... the other part is 2. what kind of sleeping pad/tent you have. If you really think that you are only going to be at about 0-C, then this is probably much more extreme than you need. Hope that helps a little!

This toasty sleeping bag will keep you pleasantly warm and comfy, even on the darkest, coldest nights. It fits perfectly, with great attention to detail. Definitely worth the money.
