Polarguard(R) Delta insulation offers 10% better loft and 12% less weight than Polarguard 3D; Pertex(R) Silken lining is soft and durable

Top shell features extremely lightweight, wind- and water-resistant Firestorm(TM); taffeta bottom shell defends against grit/abrasion. Adjustable insulated draft collar with microfleece cord tunnel is comfortable against skin and helps retain body heat in extreme cold. Re-designed pillow pocket can be stuffed with clothes to make a pillow, or bag can be tucked away in the pocket during the day. Head-level watch pocket assures that alarm will be heard.

The best bag I have owned. Light weight and easily compressible, this bag is great for mountaineering and winter backpacking. The pocket near the collar will hold a small alarm clock right next to your head so you are sure to hear it. Very well made relative to other bags I have used and not unduly expensive.

Nice and cozy. Easy to keep dry. Best of all... you can "sleep" two as long as you don't plan on sleeping much!

This is a great bag, and very warm for its weight. As you might expect from a synthetic, it does a good job of retaining warmth even when wet. Unless snow is forecast, I sleep under the stars, and I haven't been cold in this bag yet even when temperatures have dipped well below freezing.

The only minor annoyance I have with it is that the inner lining tends to catch in the zipper unless I'm very careful. Untangling this so as to unzip the bag can make it frustrating trying to get up and out in the mornings.

This bag has a great weight and stuff size for the warmth. The loft of Polarguard 3D makes for very comfortable nights without worrying about getting wet. I haven't used this bag in any REALLY cold temperatures but I have slept in my boxers on nights when friends in 30 degree bags have stayed fully clothed. The alarm/watch holding feature is pretty cool. The Snowshoe comes with a compression stuff sack that I found necessary to make it fit into the lower compartment of my basic Lowe Alpine Framepack (very small).
