The Zissou 23°F sleeping bag features the new Sierra Designs DriDown™ finish for down insulation. It resists water and dries fast for backpacking in chilly, wet weather!
- Regular down takes on water and is very difficult to dry; DriDown proprietary process treats each individual duck down plume with a hydrophobic finish
- With the duck down now resistant to water, the insulation maintains its loft and stays dry 7 times longer than untreated down
- It also performs better in high humidity than regular down and, in case it accidentally gets wet, it will dry out faster, too
- Lightweight yet durable 30-denier micro-ripstop polyester shell and comfortable, moisture-wicking polyester lining warm up fast
- Baffle construction keeps down from migrating, eliminating cold spots
- Full-length 2-way, double sliding zipper allows easy venting; locking slider is backed by wide, antisnag binding tape
- Snag-free zipper tracks prevent the dreaded stuck zipper by creating a barrier between the lining and the zipper track
- Fully insulated draft tube backing the zipper keeps body heat in and cold air out
- Ergonomic, nonrestrictive hood cradles your head in warmth; hood features differentiated drawcords that make fit adjustments easy, even in the dark
- Roomy, ergonomically shaped footbox enhances comfort and warmth of feet
- Sierra Designs Zissou 23°F comes with stuff sack and storage bag
- European Norm (EN) is an independent third-party temperature rating, allowing accurate comparisons across brands with other EN-rated bags

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
Great sleeping bag used in Blue Ridge Mountains. 15-30mph wind gust temperature droped into the teens. I slept great in this bag for a while. Woke up about 3am cold. I found the the temperature rating to be extremely accurate. 23 degrees means 23 degrees and no less. But I had no problems sleeping until it dropped below 20 then it was two pairs of long underwear and socks and a chilly few hours.

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
Many great features. Nice weight and condensed size. Took this bag backpacking for 3 days. My only two problems with the bag are:
1) Bag israted at 20 degrees yet I was cold my first night in the bag waking up several times in 35 degree weather
2)Mummy style bag is to restrictive in the legs area . I could not sleep with one foot under my other knee as I usually do. Just a minor comfort thing.

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
I wanted a smaller bag so I could take a smaller pack for weekend backpacking trips. I know a number of people who own this bag and highly rate it so I took the plunge and bought one. Even in the large size the packed size and weight were impressive.
The first use was a night with temperatures only down to around 40 degrees with an insulated air pad and I was cold to the point I had to put on a fleece jacket so there is no way this is 23 degree bag.
I always look after my bags and store them loosely and shook the bag out about 3 hours before bedtime so it had lofted as much as it was going to.
Maybe I just got a bad one? However I returned it and got a much cheaper Kelty bag that far exceeded my expectations. 8oz heavier but very comfortable even in colder conditions.

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
I used this on a backpacking trip in the Red River Gorge. It was a wet drip and my bag performed like new the whole time. It is light and compressed very well. It even felt a little roomier than most bags that I've used. The temp got down to around 33 F and I was hot with pants and a t-shirt. I'm anxious to test it out in the "real" cold.

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
Temps only got down to 25, yet with an insulated mat, a blanket, two layers of clothing, and a dog, I still froze. Plus, I found feathers stuck in my blanket. Also, could see where there wasn't down in areas (this is AFTER shaking it like crazy).
This bag would be fine for summer camping, but it is definitely NOT 3 season, unless you are in a warm climate for those 3 seasons.

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
First use was during a 5 night backpacking trip in the California Sierras, Summer 2013. It was light and compact, yet fluffed up nicely and provided all the warmth needed for the nights over 10,000 ft. elevation with overnight temps probably approached freezing.

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
As advertised. Great feel and fit. Love the weight to warmth ratio. The spare pocket is a nice touch. The zipper requires getting used to but other than that ... its a homerun!

Comments about Sierra Designs Zissou 23 DriDown Sleeping Bag:
With a pack weight of 24lbs for a 3 day backpacking adventure in the Sierras, this mummy bag did the trick with minimal weight, very VERY small pack size (we used a stuff sack a size smaller than recommended... but it fit! Just remember to fluff the sleeping bag out vigorously ASAP!), and it kept both my husband and I cozy warm (we each have one) comfortably down to low 40's. Zippers didn't catch, had plenty of mobility during sleep, and our air pillows fit perfect inside the head area even after pulling the cords on the bag fairly snug around our faces. Haven't got it wet yet, so can't attest to anything there. This was an upgrade from a heavier and slightly cooler rated mummy bag previously, and can't say enough good things about the lightened load and extra space in the pack thanks to this new Zissou bag compared to our old Marmot bags!

A nice little bag. Haven't used it in winter yet, but did use it in a cold spring day on a ridge top and kept me nice and toasty.
