The North Face Cats Meow 20 Degree Sleeping Bag

Description

The North Face: Cats Meow 20 Degree Sleeping Bag - Altrec.com Product Description:

Created for cool weather backpacking and climbing, The North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag is a great synthetic design that's comfort rated to 20F (-7C). The synthetic Polarguard Delta insulation has a high loft that retains thermal heat even when wet. Recently The North Face revised the Cat's Meow with more insulation throughout the sleeping bag's hood and footbox areas for optimal comfort. The brushed tricot handwarmer pocket is perfect for cold fingers or those essentials you can't afford to leave in freezing temperatures overnight. A chest-level watch pocket makes it easy to hear your alarm in the morning--just remember to keep it turned off if it's not your turn to fix breakfast in the morning.

Classic, not impressed Draft collar is too small and bunches up when collar and hood is drawn, thus being nonfunctional. The material bunches so much when you draw the collar and hood in, so as to be cumbersome, uncomfortable, and allows air in. The zipper draft tube does not seal as well as it could. It is an OK bag but not up to it's reputation. How the other reviewer used it a -5 is beyond me (the wood stove probably helped). It was easy to resell and I am MUCH happier with my Mountain Hardware Lamina. This is how a bag should be made.

Great Bag,, Excellent Value I've a Cat's Meow since 1978. It was one of the best investments in gear I've ever made. Works as fine as when I bought it. Not bad for almost 30 years, it's lasted thru 3 stuff sacks. It has been all over, US, Canada, Europe, Asia;,never let me down. Although it is only rated @ 20 degress it has seen -5 F and did a passable job. The new Cat's Meow is lighter with more advanced materials but it keeps with the concept of a affordable quality bag.
