From Backcountry.com:
"When the wind is howling up in the high peaks, the Mountain Hardwear Banshee SL howls back. 800-fill down in tightly spaced, welded baffles won't shift around, and thanks to Conduit SL laminate it won't get soaked either. A down-filled face gasket seals the warm and cold on their sides of the wall, aided by an ergonomic draft collar. Because it's down the Banshee packs down incredible small, and thanks to conduit laminate wet and unpredictable mountain weather isn't a concern."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Ideally suited for moderate winter activities, the Banshee features Mountain Hardwears exclusive moisture shedding, Conduit SL shell and welded-baffle construction to resist inclement weather and hold incidental moisture at bay. This compact, light four-season alpine bag with a regular mummy cut is insulated with 800-fill down to keep you warm and comfortable."

From REI:
"The ultimate in extreme weather bags, this expedition bag features welded baffle technology and a Conduit? SL shell to protect the 800-fill down. Enjoy all the comforts and benefits of down, plus feel free to use this bag in wet conditions. 800-fill-power goose down bag features welded, watertight, box-baffle construction for superior warmth and protection. Conduit? ripstop nylon shell is water-resistant, windproof and incredibly breathable. Welded seams eliminate needle holes thus helping keep the goose down insulation dry. Box baffle construction creates maximum loft with minimum weight; 5 in. baffle width keeps down from shifting and prevents cold spots. Alpine Mummy Cut increases thermal efficiency by reducing girth from hips to lower legs and adding room at elbows and hips. Down-filled face gasket makes hood closure more comfortable and effective; ergonomic collar seals out drafts. Multi-baffle 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. Insulated double draft tube extends to bottom of bag and is not sewn through, eliminating cold spots and preventing heat from escaping. Snag guards prevent fabric from catching in zipper; two-way locking zipper sliders stay in place. External zipper flap protects the zipper and ensures the elements stay out and the warmth stays in. Tie-in loops stabilize Mountain Hardwear Down Upgrade Liner, sold separately. Stuff sack and mesh storage sack included."

Banshee SL 0°
Reviewed by James Henrie, Jul 14, 2004

"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."
