The North Face Gold Kazoo 30 Degree Sleeping Bag

sleeping bag works well
February 09, 2012

I sleep in my car because college housing is too expensive on campus, but it started getting too cold this winter. I bought this and have been comfortable. The weather outside is hitting about under 30 to 20 degrees while this bag is rated at 30 degrees and keeps me very warm. The color scheme is nice. I do find the the right hand coordination odd. If my bag is right handed, then shouldn't the zipper be on the left side, that way you use your right hand to reach over to the left to unzip? Instead, I have to maneuver my right hand into a bit of a cramp in order to zip and unzip (or just use my left hand). nonetheless, it is a good purchase. ill update this review when I send it through the washing machine.

Only one use so far, but a successful one. Soooo light and compact in the pack - big improvement over my old synthetic. The extra padding not noticed on the first night of a three day trek, but the support found its spot(s) over the next two nights. Nice fit all-around - solid, tight assembly. Was most concerned about the warmth level (I run very hot), but had nothing to worry about. It worked better than expected at the low forties we encountered near Maroon Belles. Only complaint was being a little startled in the middle of the night when I turned on the head lamp - the yellow is a touch bright.
