High Warmth:Weight Ratio
By Jonathan S. Shefftz
Ranked #961 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags
June 19, 2006
This bag offers an outstanding ratio of warmth to weight, with high-quality construction and materials throughout. The only drawback I've found is that the shell is only mildly water resistant, so for wet climates buy the more waterproof version or take along a BD Winter Bivy (or buy a synthetic bag instead).
