Review:
This is another one of my 3 Kathmandu Sleeping bags, which I use primarily in the late Autumn and early Spring season. It keeps you warm and comfortable to about 0 (zero) degrees, assuming you wear a layer of thermals underneath. Depending on how susceptible you are to feeling the cold, it may even make a good winter sleeping bag for some (Personally I prefer something with a little bit additional filling for winter though).
Pros:
- Good manufacturing quality
- Does what it is supposed to do
Cons:
- None except that the bag is a bit too expensive (you can get similar models for less with other brands)
Comment:
Although the particular model is not sold by Kathmandu any more, newer models would be fairly similar if you compare the specifications on the Kathmandu Website. The key is to look for the fill weight, size and outer fabric. Overall I had only good experiences with the high end range of sleeping bags from Kathmandu (I have 3 others for different temperature ratings). Other brands however offer similar bags for slightly less money.
