Know before you buy
The 0-degree rating is the survival limit, meaning it is designed to keep you alive in those conditions. For a comfortable night's sleep, look at the comfort rating of 18 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the temperature at which an average sleeper will feel warm and relaxed.
DriDown is treated with a water-repellent finish that helps the down clusters resist moisture and retain their loft better than untreated down. While it isn't waterproof, it keeps you warmer for longer if you encounter condensation or damp conditions in your tent.
The Cosmic Ultra 800 features a natural-fit footbox and a generous shoulder circumference of 64.2 inches, which is designed to offer more room than a traditional, tight-fitting mummy bag. However, if you are a side sleeper who prefers significant room to sprawl, you may still find the tapered shape snug.
Yes, the bag uses a C0 and PFC-free DWR coating. This eco-conscious finish provides reliable weather resistance without the use of harmful perfluorinated chemicals.
Yes, there is an internal zippered stash pocket specifically designed to keep small essentials like your phone, headlamp, or batteries secure, warm, and within reach throughout the night.
The draft tube runs along the zipper to prevent cold air from leaking through the zipper teeth, which is a common weak point in sleeping bags. The anti-snag design ensures you can zip and unzip smoothly without catching the fabric, making it easier to get in and out quickly.
