Full baffle collar. Insulated hood baffle. Hip-length, two-way locking zipper. Zipper draft tube with anti-snag design. Zippered foot vent. Internal liner loops. External snap loops allow bag to function as a liner. Sleeping pad security loops. Hang loops for storage. Micro FatMan and Ribbon drawcords. Micro captured cordlock. Ground-level side seams prevent heat from escaping. Differential cut to maximize loft and warmth. Ultralight compression stuff sack and storage sack included."

From Backcountry.com:
"Kelty gave the Light Year 0 Degree Down Sleeping Bag 650-fill goose down for warmth and a zippered foot vent for light cooling. This basically means you can sleep comfortably on winter camping trips, and not overheat when it warms up to 20 or 30 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also use the Light Year Sleeping Bag's hip-length, two-way locking zipper to vent hot air or lock it in. Slip your head into this four-season Kelty mummy bag's form-fitting hood and drift off to dream."

Differentiated drawcords allow quick identification, even in the dark. Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together (straps sold separately). Chevron slant baffle construction with differential cut eliminates cold spots; ground-level side seams prevent heat from escaping. Locking hip-length zipper saves weight and is backed by a draft tube to keep out the cold. Internal loops allow attachment of coordinating Kelty Liner (not included); hang loops allow easy drying and storage. Nylon stuff sack and cotton storage bag included."

"I bought this bag mainly for my wife who sleeps a bit could. We backpack mainly in NM, CO, AZ, UT where spring/fall temps can be ~15F at night.

I tested this bag for three nights on a 20 mile hike in the Gila Wilderness this past Dec. Night time temps, as measured with an old REI keychain thermometer, were as follows: 1st night was 0degF, 2nd was 10F, 3rd was 15F."
