The North Face Fission Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Climashield Neo - 2008 BCS

I too was amazed at the size of the stuff sack. Granted I broke out in a full sweat trying to cram it into there, but once it was down I couldn't complain.

I'm 6'1 200lbs and the long is a perfect fit. The 1/3 length zipper is a bit tough to get into, although I appreciate the weight savings. The footbox is roomy and when open keeps a great breeze going through. Haven't had to test this in the cold weather, but in 50-60 degrees it kept me perfectly comfortable.

The red color looks as badass in real life as it does on the screen. Another + for north face!

I bought this bag for a homeless spring, summer, and fall in northern michigan.(saving money for a serious trip to chile) I was weary to get a bag rated so low because we have some serious hot humid nights. Tonight for example, 10:00 pm 82 degrees, 80% humidity. I picked this simply because of the great price on a 20 degree bag and the footbox vent. This vent makes a world of difference, with both top and bottom zippers wide open, my 6'0 220lb body inside a Long fission feels a gentle breeze blow through all night... well at least until I fall asleep which doesn't take too long because this thing is gorgeously comfortable. I would've been fine with a regular length, but I've never had a problem with extra room. Plenty of space in this mummy bag for me, the vaulted footbox is also amazing, SO much room to roll around and twist my feet all I want. A true 3 season sleeping bag, don't waste your money on a cold night bag and a warm night bag. Just slap this ultralight, ultra compressible bag in your backpack and you'll be fine no matter what gets thrown at you. My coldest night was at 28 degrees this spring, slept great that night. There's so much i can say about this thing, I'll wait until I have a night under 20 degrees this fall to wrap this review up. Highly recommended.
