Solid Sleeping Bag

By Kim Havell Ranked #265 - Sleeping Bags 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.
