Untitled ReviewIn its storage sack, it is huge (i.e. good lots of fill). The stuff sack is about 15-20 liter, and compressing it further to 10 liter for 3 weeks does not seem to have damaged the down.
The lining feels nice to the skin and the extra tube of down around the neck nicely seals the body even with the hood open for comfortable ventilation around the head. The hood itself is comfortable and stays clear of the face even when tightened.
Have only tested it down to -10C, where it was comfortably warm with just a thin pair of socks on. Intend to use it for glacier bivouacing later this year and will let you know how it goes.
Update Jan 2005:
Used it in -20C = -5F in Colorado in combinaiton with the exped airmattress sleeping pad. Wore long-johns and socks and was nicely warm.
