The North Face Tundra Sleeping Bag: -20 Degree Polarguard
At least I didn't get hypothermia

I bought another North Face hoping to get the same excellent performance as my old TNF Snowshoe for winter camping. However, the -20F Tundra is WAY overrated. We were camping on about a foot of packed powder and the lows were around 0F. I usually sleep pretty warm, so I had high hopes for the -20 bag, but I was freezing for two nights. I tried wearing all my extra clothes, putting my pack and shell under me, and putting a Space Blanket under the 4-season tent. Not sleeping for two nights takes a lot of the fun out of snowshoeing through fresh powder. North Face needs to reevaluate how they rate a bag. This is one heavy, expensive +20 degree bag!
