"The ultimate in extreme weather bags, the regular-size Mountain Hardwear Banshee SL 0°F expedition bag features welded baffles and a Conduit® SL shell to protect the goose down fill.

Multibaffle, tailored hood features a soft, down-filled face gasket to maintain warmth and comfort. Insulated double draft tube extends to bottom of bag and is not sewn through, eliminating cold spots and preventing heat from escaping. Overfilled, ergonomic collar drapes comfortably over neck and shoulders, sealing out drafts. Multibaffle Comfort Foot Box is shaped to allow feet to rest naturally; shape preserves loft and allows down to drape closer to feet for more warmth. Slightly wide Comfort Mummy Cut allows warmth without constriction; increased room lets you sleep on your side or turn over with ease. Laminated external double stormflaps protect the zipper. Comes with stuff sack and mesh storage bag."

"I don't like to take a tent when I am trying to go light and have been in rain without getting wet at all. I just put a gore-tex jacket over the hole and stayed totally dry. I have also done winter camping with it and slept with no cave or tent, just on a therma rest pad and stayed warm with no hint of cold spots with tempuratures right around 0."
