The North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Climashield Prism

The North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Climashield Prism description

With soft breathable silken lining, The North Face Cat's Meow 20-Degree Sleeping Bag keeps you cozy and warm on those spring nights and crisp fall dawns. Pack this synthetic mummy bag into your backpack and hit the trail. Overlapping shingle construction eliminates cold spots by evenly distributing the synthetic insulation, keeping you warm throughout all your three-season mountaineering adventures. A no-snag zipper column prevents you from spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to zip up the Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag, and the one-hand pull cord quickly adjusts the hood, so you can hop in and get warm quickly. Store your watch in the head-level zipper pocket and wake up on time for your first ascent. Not only do you get a stuffsack with your Cat's Meow Bag, but The North Face also included a nylon mesh bag to help preserve the insulation's loft during long term storage.

I used it in 40 to 50 degree weather and it was warm. In fact, I couldn't find any vents which would have been great. It has also been durable so far.

I tested mine on 2 cold nights. It was adequate down to 30F, but not warm enough at 22F. I am also seeing insulation compression on the bottom after only 2 uses. Fill weight and pack volume are similar to competitors 30-35deg bags, and I guess it should be no surprise that it performs like one.

I tested mine on two cold nights, it was OK but not great down to 30F, and much too cold at 22F.I am seeing insulation compression on the bottom after those 2 nights, so I seriously question the durability of the fill material.
