The North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Synthetic - Women's
Overall good synthetic bag

Ranked #30 - 25 to 5 Degree Synthetic Bags

Just recently used this on a trip through Alaska. I never once felt cold in it (summer in AK). I also, never felt too hot in it. I know sometimes with my down bag I wake up in a pool of sweat. The fleece lined foot box is awesome. I really felt like it helped keep my feet warm. There is a little fleece lined pocket for your hands too. The zipper goes all the way down to your feet. The compression sack is great if you are strapped for room in your pack, but never store it in there long term. Synthetic fibers tend to break down especially if compressed, eventually compromising the warmth rating. My only complaint is the light color of the bag inside and out. C'mon, for chicks who really use the hell out of sleeping bags, light colors are a big no-no especially when you are dirty and haven't showered in days.
