Description Four Chamber construction has separate radial baffles on sides, top, and bottom to eliminate cold spots and down migration. 800+ European goose down.
Summary: I've had the bag for about 4 years, have used it in some cold weather, nothing extreme and have not been disappointed. I use a liner, 55 degree and a pad and the two work well to adjust for the weather, hot or cold. The bag lofts quickly and is not too confining. It also carries well, little over 2 lbs and compresses to the size of a loaf of bread.
Customer Service: The North Face has always served me well.

Summary: Paid: CDN$239 for TNF Hot Tamale size Long
Purchased this sleeping bag at a liquidation sale. First use was in November 2003 at -5C (in a lean-to) and it was warm and comfortable (bag is rated to -9C). Attention to detail is very good and quality is excellent. Found one or two very small pin-feathers worked their way through the shell but this is not unusual in a down bag or garment (see the Feathered Friends web-site).
The down fill lofts very quickly and the fabric's hand is soft and silky. The down is evenly distributed in four separate zones (top, bottom, left and right sides) to minimize down migration. It weighs 2 lbs 12 ounces (size Long) and compresses into a very small stuffsack.
Customer Service: I purchased a TNF Cat's Meow over twenty years ago. A few years later the Polarguard fill would no longer provide any useful loft. TNF replaced it no-charge. Excellent service.

Summary: It has all the specifics of a great bag, but i have had a continual problem with the down poking through the shell, which i have heard and read is pretty common. Overall, its got all the great features of a nice sleeping bag, it just doesnt have the quality i expect with TNF! I would not try and get another one unless TNF gave it to me for free
Customer Service: havent tried yet but certainly will

Summary: This bag is very cozy and warm, the down fluffs right up. Weighs under 3 lbs. My only concern is that few feathers found their way thru the nylon. Another guy is having a similar problem. I've heard this is normal but I might have to return it to TNF if it continues to leak down. Otherwise its a good bag.
Customer Service: Haven''t dealt with The North Face yet

Summary: This a nice cozy bag, light too, but the first one I got came w/ 3 holes in it and was leaking some pretty big clusters of down. After sending it back for another I got the next right before a 10/11 day trek. Great timing right? sure but this one was worse. It had down sticking out of all the seams and it had a few holes that leaked some major clusters. I might try a Feathered Friends or Muntain Hardware to replace the thing.
