The North Face Equinox Sleeping Bag: 35 Degree Polarguard
Optimistic Temp. Rating...
By EXPO650
Ranked #491 - 55 to 30 Degree Synthetic Bags
September 13, 2006
With the exception of three nights, this bag was my bed from June through mid August 2006. The low weight and compact ability was wonderful - think cylinder about the same width and length of a football only minus pointy ends. Bag temp ratings in the US are a little ambiguous and the 35 F rating on the Equinox was for me definitely not a comfort rating. I normally wear long underwear whenever I sleep in a bag and do not normally get cold very easily, so I was pretty bummed to have to get up and put a fleece layer on whenever the temp went south of 40 F. BOTTOM LINE: Great small size/compactability, but if where you're headed is going to get colder than 40 F @ night, bring a fleece layer or liner to throw on to keep you toasty till morning.
