First off I am not a big fan of TNF brand gear since they got bought out by vanity fair. But, all that aside I was impressed by this bag. I took it on my month long NOLS trip to Baja where it performed really well. I slept with no tent or tarp, just on top of a sleeping pad and this did a good job of keeping me warm, (I know that you are thinking Baja can't get that cold) it got into the 30's some nights and this kept me toasty, except for when the winds really picked up. what impressed me most was the durability seeing as I was sleeping on sharp rocks and sea shells that sometimes would puncture my foam sleeping pad this bag never got a snag or tear. The stuff sack and mesh storage sack it comes with are nice touches. If you are an active sleeper I would recommend getting the expander wedge to go along with it.

Does anyone know where to get a wedge bag expander? I love my North Face Cat's Meow, but it is a bit tight on me. Please Help!
