One of my best pieces of gear, and one of the most useful is the North Face Snowshoe. This bag is rated at 0. It has great loft, is baffled, and has never left me cold. Furthermore, this bag due to the material is only slightly heavier and less compressable than down. Synthetics retain 80 of insulation quality when wet, so this bag for winter is perfect for me. I always sleep in my clothes anyway cause it makes it easier in the morning, so in the winter is insulates fine. Hood that can be made into a pillow, light. Man i just have good things to say about this bag, but the best part. PAYED 167.50 for it brand new. check the internet. this was last year. NF was selling them for 210.00. found a liquidation.
