Even though you’re not sure what to expect from Mother Nature this weekend, you can expect a good night's sleep from The North Face Blue Kazoo 15-Degree Down Sleeping Bag.
- The 650-fill down insulation retains your body’s warmth and provides a higher warmth-to-weight ratio than synthetic-fill insulation
- Vaulted footbed won’t constrict your feet and helps promote circulation to your lower extremities
- Ergonomically shaped hood provides extra comfort, improves the bag’s warmth-retention, and reduces its overall weight
- Synthetic anti-compression pads are strategically located in areas where your body typically comes in contact with the ground to create more durable insulating layer and reduce heat loss through convection
- Trapezoidal-shaped baffle system ensures a consistent fill volume to reduce cold spots
- The grey goose down in this bag is purchased from small, family-owned farms that do not live-pluck or force-feed the geese
Bottom Line: Warmth when you need it most.

This bag is good for early spring or cooler summer nights but I feel that it does not meet the posted cold rating. I used it in a van one night it was in low 30's and I was cold all night. It does pack small enough for most peoples needs it also zips into other TNF bags my gf and I would zip ours together she had the cats meow. I just feel for the money there's better choices.
Do you have both left and right zip in regular? Or recommend
Do you have both left and right zip in regular? Or recommend a combo similar to this for my wife and me?

Yep, they do have both left and right zip in regular. A good alternative I suggest is the Marmot Sawtooth 15 Degree bag. Either way, you can't go wrong.

What sleeping bag would be a better choice? I have been doing
What sleeping bag would be a better choice? I have been doing some research and I am deciding between this bag the TNF Blue Kazoo 15, or the TNF Nebula 15. I will be 3 season backpacking manly in the Appalachian regions, and was wondering what bag would be a better choice? Is the extra 100 for the Nebula really worth it? If so why? Thanks for any help!

In this case, I recommend the Blue Kazoo. The advantages for the Nebula are the waterproof shell and draft collar. If you're going to be sleeping in a well-ventilated tent, the waterproof shell won't be doing much for you. It's best for frost or dew. The draft collar is nice for cutting off cold from making it down to your core, but the hood design on the Nebula leaves a lot to be desired. I have the Nova, which is the same design but warmer, and I definitely find cold sneaking in after a few hours along the sides of the hood. The 800 fill down makes it more compressible than the BK, but that is offset by the HyVent shell, which is less compressible.
The new fitted hood on the Blue Kazoo is superb, and will largely offset the need for the draft collar. The Blue Kazoo is now lighter than the Nebula. The hood, weight, and price definitely make the BK a shining star this season.
Unless you're planning on sleeping out in frost or dew, the extra money for the Nebula probably isn't worth it.

Are there two versions of the Blue Kazoo? The BK with 650 fill
Are there two versions of the Blue Kazoo? The BK with 650 fill down isn't on The North Face website. TNF lists only one version with 600+ fill. And the pics here and on TNF show slightly different bags, one with an exterior "650" label. Anyone know what's up?

Backcountry has received the new version, with 650 fill down and a number of other updates (the new hood design is awesome!) and the TNF website still has the old style, with 600 fill down. TNF will likely update their site soon.
