Roomy, warm, highly compressable By joe blow from boulder,co on 09/24/2009 Pros: Adjustable Hood, Comfortable, Lightweight, Roomy, Stows Easily, Warm Best Uses: 3 Season Camping, Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My first down bag - warm, roomy, and a piece of cake to compress into the stuff sack - amazingly smaller and warmer than my old north face cat's meow synthetic. Has a number of features not listed in the description:
-100% duck down insulation
-Full-length, dual-slider zip with draft tube
-Pad locks, touch-close chin lock
-Includes storage bag and stuff sack
-Mummy style
I ended up ordering the antero as well (as I wasn't sure of the zipper and pad-locks on this one). Its basically the same sleeping bag as this one (same wieght and uses the same stuff sack) only this one is rated to 20 instead of 25 as it has 2 oz more insulation and is pure duck down vs 80% duck down in antero and this bag has a bit more room (2") in the hips. The antero does have thicker, snag free nylon near the zipper - I prefer the 2 oz extra insulation and will be keeping this one for the slight $ difference
Great bag, but vestal is slightly better By joe blow from boulder,co on 09/24/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Roomy, Stows Easily, Warm Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this and a very similar bag (the vestal rated to 20F). both bags are great and I highly recommend going with down - much, much easier to compress and lighter than my old synthetic.
I prefer the vestal for the additional 5 degrees of warmth rating.
