Comments about The North Face Snow Leopard Sleeping Bag:
Went into REI to pick up a new down bag, and noticed the TNF Snow Leopard. After much thought, I decided to go with a synthetic bag instead. Used it two days after purchase bivvied on the side of a mountain, at about 11,000 feet, in the snow. Temps were down to the single digits, but with wind chill, it must have been below zero. Bag did wonderful! Stayed warm and comfortable all night. The bag does not compress as small as a down bag, but compacts fairly well and is light for a synthetic bag.

Comments about The North Face Snow Leopard Sleeping Bag:
First sleeping bag in a long time. Used it on a Mt Rainier climb June 30th at Ingraham Flats (11,100 ft) and on Mt Baker for 5 nights in August above Sandy Camp (6,300 ft) both times on snow. Kept me warm every night, sleeping in just a t-shirt and under pants, other climbers were very cold in their rental bags (which on Baker were +10F rated not 0F). I chose synthetic over down because I wanted to be able handle the wet as well as the cold. The bag only just fits through mouth of my REI XT 75 backpack, when wrapped in plastic, but it does fit. The compression bag it comes could be a lot better, but works well enough for me.

Comments about The North Face Snow Leopard Sleeping Bag:
Just got this bag. It was warm and comfy when I crawled in, but then again, my living room isn't very cold...
The zipper will still snag a bit even with the anti-snag feature. But it was easy enough to pull out.
I'm loving how light it is for a synthetic bag. Yes, it's heavier than down, but down doesn't work in the PNW's winters... or most of the time for that matter. Yes, the bag is a little bulky, but it is lighter than others out there. Seems worth the trade-off for a good night's sleep.
The one thing I detest is the compression sack. The bag is hard to pack down tight enough to get the top closed. I much prefer the old style sacks where they are a little taller than they need to be and you can just cinch them down with the top cap. The sack has the roll down top, which just seems to add bulk. I'd understand if it was a good weight/space saving, but I doubt it is. Of course, I'll just get a different stuff sack! :)

Comments about The North Face Snow Leopard Sleeping Bag:
My friends and I are boy scouts. All the other boys had mummy bags but I did not. I needed a bag for a cold weather, backpacking "overnight". I can only carry 1/3 of my weight in supplies, this bag needed to be light weight. I wanted a bag I would be able to grow into, this one is good for up to 6 feet. It needed to be warm and comfortable. The polyester fiber fill is better than down in wet conditions. Lastly, the colors were awesome.
I can't sleep in this bag in the house. It get's too hot. On the overnight, temperature got down to below freezing. There was frost on our tent in the morning. This bag kept me cozy and warm.

Comments about The North Face Snow Leopard Sleeping Bag:
SnowShoe and SnowLeopard don't connect! the size of zippers are different between these two bags, so if you are planning to connect these two, it won't work... it is lame. also it is a little bit bulky. warm though.
