Know before you buy
Unlike down, which loses its insulating properties when wet, the CirroLoft synthetic insulation retains its loft and thermal efficiency even in damp conditions. This makes it a reliable choice for humid climates or unpredictable shoulder-season weather where moisture management is a priority.
The bag has an ISO Comfort rating of 32°F and an ISO Limit rating of 22°F. This means most sleepers will feel comfortable around freezing, but you should consider a sleeping bag liner or extra layers if you plan to camp in temperatures closer to the 22°F limit.
Yes, this bag accommodates users up to 78 inches (6'6") tall. With an overall length of 84 inches, it provides enough clearance for taller hikers to stretch out comfortably.
The bag features a 'natural-fit' footbox designed specifically to allow your feet to rest in their natural position rather than forcing them into a pointed shape. This provides significantly more room for toe movement than traditional mummy bags, which often feel cramped.
The total weight is 2.99 lbs. While it is heavier than high-end down alternatives, it is a practical, mid-weight option for backpackers who prioritize durability and moisture resistance over shaving every possible ounce.
The PFC-Free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is an environmentally friendly treatment applied to the shell that helps water bead up and roll off the fabric. It provides essential protection against light moisture and condensation without using chemicals that are harmful to the environment.
