Double layer offset, differential cut construction eliminates cold spots. Easy Access Drawcords with Barrel Lock Closures permit closure of drawcords on hood and storm collar. The cords are either flat or round, allowing users to easily adjust storm collars and hoods in low light situations. Hook and Loop Closures provide firm closure of the bag and prevent zippers from separating or opening. Anti-Snag Zipper Protection is sewn along the draft tube and zipper to ensure reliable zipper operation. Internal Collars are baffles sewn to the liner, used to prevent heat loss from the neck and shoulders. Utility Pockets inside the bag are used to store small items like car keys, flashlights, and cell phones, so they'll be close at hand. Draft Tubes are baffles sewn adjacent to the zipper to keep cold air out and prevent heat loss through the zipper coils. Weather Wedge is a small piece of triangular fabric that is sewn at the base of the zipper to prevent heat loss at the zipper's bottom. This also reduces stress at the point where the zipper is sewn for greater durability.

Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Nice cold weather sleeping bag
I've bought two of this model. They work real well for cold weather camping. Most of my cold weather camping is with the boy scouts in igloos and snow caves. I've sleep on multiple occasions where it has been 10-20 degrees outside, probably 30 degrees where I'm sleeping and I've been cozy. The only compliant I have is the zipper catches on the inside baffle. My other summer Slumberjack sleeping bag has a larger zipper and doesn't catch. My summer bag is now 25 years old and still looks and works great. I'm hoping this model lasts just as long.

Perfect for winter camping! Best bag I've ever owned!
There are so many great features to this bag, so let me list some of my favorites as an experienced camper.
- Warm interior fabric isn't ice cold when you crawl in like other nylon bags.
- Plenty of room. Especially important since I am tall and roll around a lot. I always felt constricted and tangled up in my mummy bag, but I can lay in this bag and move around freely. I can lay on my side with my legs bent and have the room to do it without the bag twisting around my legs.
- Compact storage.
- High quality materials.
- Sturdy zipper.
- PRICE - how's they do it all for so cheap?!?
The only "bad" thing about this bag is it's weight, but I didn't want it for hiking so it's not an issue for me. It's light for what you get, but not something I'd want to lug around for days.
Warm and Cozy
Love this sleeping bag! I used it in Alaska this fall. I tend to get cold and hate mummy bags so after researching other bags I settled on this one. At 40 degrees I had my feet sticking out the bottom double zipper (which I truly appreciated). The interior material is soft and very comfortable. I did not need to use the hood for warmth so it acted more as a pillow. There is an inside pocket for valuables... though I wasn't worried the bears would run off with my wallet. I worked up a sweat putting it back in the stuff bag and it is rather big even when completely compressed, but there has to be some compromise if you want a large style bag. This bag was a good choice for me.
