MH Phantom 0

By BW Ranked #293 - 0 to -40 Degree Down Bags March 24, 2010

Ive had the opportunity to compare this bag with other big name 800 fill 0 degree bags.. and this one is the best in my opinion. I also really like the GoLite Adrenaline 0, but the weight is 6 ounces different. The Phantom is very simply perfect. No goofy design trends or bullcrap, just a whole lotta down stuffed into a superlight fabric. Very trim cut, not much room inside for movin and shakin. A little difficult to get it zipped up because of the lack of elbow room, but not too big of an issue. Im 5'10'' 190 and if you are any bigger i would consider the long or a different bag. Contains all of the necessary features- drawcord, draft collar, and (on the new models) a full length zipper. Is it the most durable?.. probably not. I'm sure there are other similar bags with a higher denier fabric, but if you take care of it, it should last a long time. As far as I know, it's the lightest on the market for 0 degreers. I really like how the construction yields an inside the baffle sew, this way the seams and thread are not exposed. You will see a little down leak out, but that is going to happen no matter what bag you buy (Ive owned several down bags from different brands and they have all leaked a little). Performance.. what you would expect from an almost 500 dollar outdoor product. Very warm, will pack VERY small with a compression sac, and beads up light condensation/precip. Even for the price, i've gotta recommend it.
