"Close call, no dice. if the price were righter,..." - Review of The North Face Blue Kazoo Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
Am returning The North Face BK for Marmot Sawtootha close contest. Both bags seem well-made, durable, same fill, same rating. Both shells fairly h20-resist. Both same price, so I could make rare feature-based value judgment.
My assessment of TNF BK:
PROS: Less fiddly zip (longer pull tabs, stiffer backing); nice elastic hood draw; wide shoulders; less vol to warm; stash pocket.
CONS: Less vol to toss/turn. Dealbreaker: no drawable neck bafflemight mean 5-10 degrees?
UNTESTED VALUE: Neat Polarguard 3D strips, fancy foot box, pillow pocket, TNF logo.
In end, TNF may have cut some basic design quality for frills; would post Marmot review, but--
