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. It comes with a small stuff sack that it fits into neatly, although could be compressed further (not recomended for down bags, especially not for longer periods of time). The hood offers superb protection from the cold although it could possibly benefit from a second draw string baffle around the neck.shoulders area. However the drawstring around the top of the hood to enclose around the face is confortable and good at keeping the heat in whist allowing freedom of movement. When using this bag i (very) occasionally have a little trouble with the zip snagging although probably less than most other bags I have used. The anti snag edge along the zip seems to struggle at times. When in the bag, the soft and warm down filling appears to mound around you making you warm and comfortable and the ultrasoft lining is comfortable next to your skin. The baffle design throughout the bag is good at eliminating cold spots and ensure a good nights sleep in even very cold areas.
