Benchmark 0°

Took this out on a wet spring overnight and the water-repellent shell shrugged off the drizzle without a hint of dampness inside. The high-loft synthetic fill kept me cozy down to the mid-20s, and I was surprised how small it compressed for the warmth it delivers.

I was skeptical about the packed size for a 0° bag, but it compresses way smaller than my old one and the high-loft insulation kept me toasty on a frosty trip where temps dipped below freezing. Woke up without a single cold spot, even after the shell got brushed against some damp tent walls.

The shell really does shed moisture well—I woke up to a dew-covered tent and the bag stayed completely dry on the outside. The high-loft insulation packs down smaller than I thought possible, which left room in my pack for extra food.
