[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the one bag because I camp in many different temperatures. Second night got down to 35 degrees and I was wearing sweatpants sweatshirt and good socks. Absolutely freezing. The zippers go up both sides and grab material about 5 different times and would stop the zipper and I would have to fiddle with it to get it to work. I washed the bag when I got home and there is a spot that will not dry no matter what I do and there is a spot where there is no insulation at all!! I called northface and they were rude and not helpful. This bag was very expensive and underperformed big time
You would think with how much I have slept in this bag I would have a lot to say. And to be honest its because I have spent so many nights in this bag I think its much more concise. The sleeping bag is more snug than I anticipated, however I'm a bigger guy and as my weight fluctuates so does the comfort. Despite the baffle there is draft thru the zippers and my toes get the worst of it, also the zipper baffle gets caught constantly in the zip especially as I'm about to retire it. I'm actually closer to 900 nights but don't know the exact number. For care it is so simple because it zips down to essentially 3 sheets and for the weight its surprisingly compressible. The amount of zippers make it a bit bulky. Overall would I buy this bag again? I would. It serves my niche world where I spend 26 weeks a year living in the outdoors, in any weather (Utah/Idaho). I also appreciate the yellow layer being down and the outer blue layer being synthetic, so nice for the nights I bivy and get condensation.
"One Bag" Performed flawlessly on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in Maine. I am Registered Maine Guide, I recently guided a group of 8 clients through the Allagash. This was a 7 day canoe trip.We had a few nights of rain. One very rainy night my tent was in a super wet spot and some water came in. I stayed on my pad and the sleeping bag repelled surface water and stayed warm and dry. The other nights it was easy to regulate body temp using the various layers of the sleeping bag. I was never too hot or too cold. It packs small and the stuff bag makes a comfy pillow when turned inside out. I highly recommend this sleeping bag!
Its great except 2 things, the weight numbers provided are off by 1lb for -7c LNG & the idea to use anti-compression on the back is an error. Lying Unacceptable
Love this sleeping bag . Very comfortable and warm . Though I used it on 30 deg camping. The hood is amazing keep me very warm . Very happy with this purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I m using it to sleep inside my truck on the road, it is warmmmm and light weight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Warmth & comfort are the 2 biggest factors for me when looking for a bag. If I'm going to add a small amount of extra weight to my pack I would for a warmer more comfortable bag. That being said the weight of this bag is not bad. I appreciate that is has a compression bag as well as a larger storage bag. I love the layered design saving me from bringing a bag liner or bivy for colder nights.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am taking this Summer off to go rock climbing in quite a few Westarn State destinations. Mostly I plan to sleep in the back of my Subaru using a battery fan for air curculation. I expect to encounter a range of nighttime temps, from moderate to down around Freezing. I was intrigued by this bag and scooped it up. For what it is: 3 bags in one, the price is quite reasonable. I assure you it's comfy from the moment you crawl in. Is spacious with a footbox that's almost too roomy. I can see cramming a fleece top or jacket down there on a super cold night. My only caveat to you: Practice assembling and disassembling the bag before you take off. Once you get the hang of it, it's eezie peezie; but not necessarily the first time. Almost dinged it one star because it has a pair of little pad loops down near your feet, but no loops up around your shoulders. Thinking of taking it to my local Tailor and asking her to install a pair of loops. Other than that, a very unique and way-cuddly sleeping bag 4 sure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most uncomfortable sleeping bag I've ever had. I've had good quality bags for over 40 years. The zippers are large and annoy you all night. I've never had a bag do that. They cost 3 cents by only having an outside tab. The zippers are large as well. Don't buy this bag.
Very warm. Love that there are different layers so that I can use it for pretty much any temperature. It comes in a mesh bag but also has a stuff sack, which is nice so I can store it in the mesh bag but still be able to cram it into a smaller space if needed.
