Mountain Hardwear 3rd Dimension 0° Mummy Sleeping Bag - Long

Advantages: Warm, light, confortable
Disadvantages: No shoulder/neck baffle, zip can snag at times.

...The Piute (also availble; woman\'s Piute) is a warm and cozy sleeping bag. Its price is a reflection of its quality and appears reasonable compared to other bags of similar specifictions. Its lightweight design is very useful for back packing or anytime that space is at a premium.

Advantages: Reasonably light, quick to erect, roomy, four season.
Disadvantages: None

Mountain Hardwear were extremely helpful and replaced the inner tent within... Read review

...I have wanted one of these bags ever since I slept in one, the first time I went to a cold part of the United States. A friend of mine let me use his, as I couldn't carry too much with weight restrictions on the flight over to LAX from England. I know you are thinking, why did I need to sleep in a bag that is so thick and warm, when I was in a warm part of the USA. Will I was actually staying 8,000 feet above sea level, in the middle of Winter. Description From The Web Site: "Our goal with the Snowy Owl was simple: design the warmest sleeping bag in the world. Maintaining a mammoth 11-1/2 inches of loft at a constant thickness over the entire body, the Snowy Owl fulfills this goal at what is relatively speaking, an extremely light weight sleeping bag. The Snowy Owl was designed with a fully contoured shoulder, hood, and permanent... Read review
