The North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Synthetic - Women's
Inaccurate temperature rating
By Kelly Stratton
Ranked #526 - 25 to 5 Degree Synthetic Bags
November 10, 2008
I've had this bag for two years, and have been continually disappointed with it. Every night that I've slept out that it's been any cooler than about 45 degrees, I've been uncomfortably cold... even with lots of layers on. The worst was an April raft trip where the weather dipped below thirty. I was in a tent with a rain fly and another person, with a fleece blanket over the top of me, and I still had to wear a down jacket inside the bag to stay warm enough.
For me, the bag works great between 50 and 70 degrees... unfortunately, any $25 Coleman sleeping bag could do that for me.
