North Face Hightail Packs Small
By Dustin Robertson

North Face beat marmot with the Hightail. The hightail is as light and small as the marmot helium but the hightail includes a foot zipper which allows a ton of ventilation in warm weather. I have only slept in this bag in the low 40s but it seems as warm as any 15 degree bag I have used. The bag has good dimensions and was not constricting as I slept.

hightail also has a higher fill weight and is thus warmer (also without being heavier) - realistically more like a 10 degree bag, possibly even warmer. The weights in grams and the EN temperature ratings are a lot more telling than the standard english ratings.
