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. The Snowy Owl was designed with a fully contoured shoulder/hood/permanent collar system to maintain full and even loft in the areas of greatest potential heat loss around the head and shoulders. An inner zipper running parallel to the outer zipper keeps the differential at a constant thickness and double draft tubes totally seal in warm air. Backpacker Magazine has this to say about the Snowy Owl. For truly polar extremes, there is no better choice.
