From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Sierra Designs Men's Nitro Sleeping Bag (Fall 2007) Sierra Designs Men's Nitro Sleeping Bag (Spring 2007)At two lbs and two ounces, the Nitro by Sierra Designs defies logic with its warmth-to-weight ratio.You won't believe how much warmth you get from such a small package - the Nitro packs into a tiny sack (included), but stays toasty to 15 degrees. Continuous baffling and a draft tube contain 800-fill goose down, the warmest, lightest insulation available. Cinch down the Jacket Hood and see how intelligent design, in conjunction with the best materials, makes a superior piece of gear.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"You won't believe how much warmth and comfort you get from such a small package - the Nitro packs into a tiny sack (included), but stays toasty to 15 degrees. We build in Flex between the shoulders and knees, so you get the comfort and thermal benefits, while saving precious ounces. Continuous baffling and a draft tube contain 800-fill goose down, the warmest, lightest insulation available."

From REI:
"Baffle construction keeps down from migrating, eliminating cold spots. Footbox has an opening at the bottom of bag for ventilation ideal for warm summer nights after a long day of adventure. Fully insulated dual draft tubes (top and bottom) backing the zipper keep cold air out, while they hold body heat in. Hidden seams prevent snags for less wear and tear; all seams are tucked and sewn from the inside. Insulated with 800-fill-power goose down for an unsurpassed warmth-to-weight ratio. New snag-free zipper tracks create a barrier between lining and zipper track to prevent tears; half-length zipper design reduces weight. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the Sierra Designs Nitro ultralight goose down bag it maximizes warmth while minimizing weight and bulk. Pad Locks keep your sleeping bag and pad together, so you don't roll off onto the cold ground; Pad Locks are removable. Similar to the hood on a parka, innovative Jacket Hood is fitted for increased heat retention and thermal efficiency while reducing weight. Special buy. Stuff sack and lightweight, mesh storage bag included."

"This thing was quite an upgrade over my REI Polar Pod +20. After spending many nights not-quite-warm-enough in my Polar Pod, I decided to spend a bit more and get something better. I am really impressed by the light weight, small packed size, and fill of the bag. I've been warm every night I've slept in it."

"This bag rocks. It is very light and very warm. It packs very small. I was kind of worried about the narrow focus of the bag on lightness. I wondered if there would be durability or waterproofing issues. I have not had a problem with either. This thing is impervious to the morning dew and so far looks like it will hold up well to life on the trail."
