GoLite Venture Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down
Light, warm, handles moderate moisture

Ranked #254 - 0 to -40 Degree Down Bags
April 4, 2010
I bought this bag on sale with the intent of using it on some winter climbs. I've only had the opportunity to use it once so far, but it worked great. I camped at the base outside underneath a picnic shelter. The temperature dropped just below freezing and I was actually a bit too warm, needing to open the zipper to vent. During the night, it started to snow with enough wind to cover me with a thin layer of wet snow by morning. Despite the outer layer getting very wet, no moisture penatrated to the down and I stayed warm. My worst fear of down bags being a wet down bag, I am pretty satisfied. When you can get a 0-degree bag that weighs in at just over 3 lbs and handles moderate moisture pretty well, you're doing alright.
