Received as a present from my wife. I did not have the heart to tell her about my displeasure with the condition I received it in.
I took this on a recent fall backpacking trip in the snowy Idaho mountains and was SO comfortable. The gore-Tex shell allowed me to not stress about it touching the inside of the tent walls and getting wet, or getting wet from the snow blowing in or wet dogs snuggling up with me. And it’s the warmest sleeping bag I’ve owned. I was cozy in it down to about 15F. Anything below that, I’d prob go for a sub-zero rating. Also I’m about 5’9 and almost maxed out the length for this bag.
Good warm material and insulation dose the job of breaking wind and staying warm tested in below 6 degrees F.
It says 0 degree limit and 13 degrees comfort on the bag itself. I used this bag in conjunction with a 4.4 R-value sleeping pad and Gore-Tex bivy sack for a week. It was -2 the first night with 3 inches of snow on the ground, and this bag was still comfortable (I wore appropriate base layers as well). Other nights varied between 5 and 20 degrees, and this bag performed superbly. It is durable and packs easily. Highly recommend.
I am replacing a 15 year old zero degree down bag and I am very impressed with the quality of this bag. I am 6’1” so I purchased the long bag. The outer material is very water repellent. There is ample insulation to keep everything nice and toasty. I have yet to use it out in the cold but I’m sure it’ll do great. The color in the picture doesn’t look as bad in person.
All these years sleeping bags have been approached by treating the feathers to be water resistant. How common sense and awesome is it to just have a vortex shell instead. I hope this becomes standard in cold weather bags, to have a gortex shell. Awesome!
Lightweight and water resistant. 5’8” skinny build fits good. Would not recommend for larger frame individuals. Worst part is does not have a draft tube under the neck so on a windy night the bag was a little chilly.
Good value bag, love the gore-tex. Looked at a lot of bags, stoked I went with this one.
Couldn’t be more happy with the bag and my purchase. Slept like a king in 7 degrees.
Great bag. Really excited about the quality. You will not be disappointed.
