What did you think?

 

think it would stand up to a typical cascades winter, when combined with a hooded helios?

 

TIA!

I guess it depends on what you're doing with it. I wouldn't recommend it for expedition use, but for ski touring and mellow stuff it may work when used with additional layers.

I've had mine for a few years now and love it. I pair it with a hooded Volant Jacket. I wouldn't use it for winter though. Im good with a few light layers and the bag jacket combo to about 35 degrees (inside tent temp). I had em put 2 extra ounces of down and upgraded to 800+ fill.

 

If I were to purchase again I'd go for the 72" length. Mine is the 68" which is fine when lying flat but sitting up or tossing around at night pulls the bag down leaving less loft / coverage at my upper torso.

 

In warmer conditions I slip in the bag and just lay the jacket on top of me. Its a very versilte piece and a great way to save a pound.
