With game-changing hydrophobic DriDown™ insulation, the Sierra Designs Cal 13 sleeping bag is a go-anywhere, sleep-everywhere bag for weight conscious backpackers.

Down is widely considered the best insulation available, but when wet it quickly loses loft and the ability to keep you warm; DriDown is treated to resist moisture
Proprietary process treats each individual goose down plume with a molecular-level polymer so the down stays dry longer, lofts better and dries faster than untreated down
DriDown insulation stays dry 10 times longer, retains 170% more loft when exposed to moisture and dries 33% faster than untreated down
Vertical baffles keep the down in place so you stay warm even if you move around a lot at night
40 in. zipper keeps weight down and won't let out all the warmth when you're getting in and out of the sleeping bag; 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; use the drawcord at the collar to cinch the hood snug around your head
Sierra Designs Cal 13 sleeping bag 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 DriDown Cal 13 Sleeping Bag:

Great bag so far. Note, I am a female and went with the men's bag because most women's bags are simply too short for me and more narrow than I like. This bag was perfect for my 5'9" height (I'd say over 5'11" you'd probably want a long). It is also pleasantly roomy in the shoulders and hips.

The 15 degree bag held up in temperatures that dropped to right about freezing. I tend to get cold and I felt comfortable in this bag at that temperature.

It is really light and packs pretty small. It comes with a stuff sack and it can squeeze into a smaller stuff sack than they provide. It was very lofty, even in the morning with a light film of condensation on it. The condensation dried out quickly and it didn't seem to hurt the warmth or loft. The dri-down technology may be th real deal!

One design clarification - it is not a full length zipper, which is a weight saver but if you like the option to zip open the bottom on warmer nights you obviously can't.

My only gripe - the zipper was pretty easy to snag.

All in all, this is a great bag if you want to upgrade to something with a great warmth to weight ratio and are willing to make the investment.

Comments about Sierra Designs DriDown Cal 13 Sleeping Bag:

What more can you say about this bag? It is flat out stellar… there is, from a technology perspective, nothing more that can be done to this bag to make it lighter, loftier, more moisture tolerant than what has been developed. True to its temperature rating. And Dri-Down, maybe the most important development in sleeping bags since the incorporation of nylon, plastic zippers, or down itself. The overall effectiveness of the Dri-Down technology was absolutely superb! As a person who tends to sleep on the clammy side, this technology is absolutely remarkable. Normally, when I wake from a night in a sleeping bag, I can sense a bit of loss in loft. This is not the case with the Cal Dri-Down. In the long run, I can sense this bag holding its longevity much longer through better loft retention, resulting in fewer needed cleanings, resulting in the down holding its structural integrity longer
