From Moosejaw:
"When Sierra Design introduced the Cloudripper Sleeping Bag in 2004 they quickly caught the eye of the professional hikers at Backpacker Magazine - and quickly picked up the prestigious Backpacker Magazine Editors' Choice 2004 Award. Sleeping bags with waterproof shells have been around for decades, but not at a price that's affordable for most of us. Until now. Go ahead: sleep outside your tent. Although they do not have taped seams, the DriZone shells' are impervious to the dew and wind that usually make an in.outside the tentin. night a risky endeavor.Great for: Backpacking, Camping, Expedition, Mountaineering Temperature Range: 15 Degree F/-9 Degree C.

From REI:
"Go ahead and take this goose down sleeping bag into the wet weather--the DriZone shell fabric offers waterproof, breathable protection. Quality 600 fill-power goose down insulation offers a high warmth-to-weight ratio. Baffle construction allows the goose down to remain fully lofted and keeps it from shifting and migrating, thus preventing cold spots. Nylon ripstop shell has a waterproof, breathable laminate that protects the down fill from outside moisture. Breathable lining allows moisture to escape so it doesn't get trapped and condense; the goose down stays dry and lofted so you stay warm. Contoured hood features differentiated drawcords that make adjustment easy, even in the dark. Contoured, roomy footbox gives feet space to be comfortable and allows goose down to loft fully, maximizing warmth. Full-length two-way zipper with glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls is backed by anti-snag zipper guard and fully insulated draft tube to keep cold air out. Pad Locks™ at the shoulders and hips keep your bag and sleeping pad together no matter how much you roll over. Chest pocket keeps small necessities within easy reach. Comes with stuff sack and large storage bag. Overstock."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Whether you're looking for three-season warmth rated to 20F or seeking a warm, high-end technical sleeping bag that lightens your pack weight more than your wallet, the down-filled Sierra Designs Cloudripper Long Sleeping Bag will let you sleep with satisfaction and confidence. The Cloudripper is part of Sierra Design's DriZone waterproof and breathable series, a group of top-of-the-line, highly breathable bags that come with everything except the high price tag. Like many high-end mountaineering bags, the Cloudripper wraps you in toasty Powerfill 600 Goose Down with a waterproof and downproof outer DriZone shell that's far more breathable than traditional down bag exterior fabric designs. The Sierra Designs Cloudripper Long Sleeping Bag is sized right and gender specific, so it conforms to the male body and specifically insulates where men require more insulation. A patented Pad Lock feature anchors the bag to your sleeping pad so you can skip the early morning searches for your missing sleep pad.

"Used this bag for the first time on a 5-night 52-mile trip through the Eagle Cap Wilderness in Oregon in September. Temps ranged from 40 - 25 at night. At 40 it was a bit warm but you just open it up a little, at 25 it was very comfortable. I love the two sleeping pad straps on the bottom to hold the pad."

"Very affordable down sleeping bag. Very lightweight and compact. Water resistance has proved very effective for small amts of water contact. Can get a little warm inside and doesn't breathe the best. On warmer nights (45-55) I found myself to feel a little clammy, but on cooler nights (20-40) this bag was perfect."

"This sleeping bag is an amazing deal! I found one for $130, and for that price you can't find a better 15 degree bag. It is only 3lbs 3oz, and beyond being lightweight it packs down to 9x19". I've had it out on only one weekend trip, but it proved to be very comfortable and plenty warm. To back it up, this bag won the Backpacker Magazine Editors Choice Award in 2004."

"Was disappointed with the comfort level when using the Cloudripper in the southern California desert! I didn't get to find out what the temps were but I think they were somewhere in the low forties. I sleep on a air cushion that is about 7 inches thick and experienced "cold spots" on my back."
