User Review: The North Face Cat's Meow

Penn Trails has been using this sleeping bag as part of the gear we set our clients up with for a backpacking trip. We've been using these bags, both Long and Regular size, for about four years now.

After a great deal of usage, including washing after each use, we find that the bags still have great loft, solid structure, and look almost as good as new. We use the bags all three seasons and find that the vast majority of our clients, both men and women, report the bags to be comfortable in cool weather (to about 30 degrees).

As with any other totally synthetic bag, they can be a bit humid and sticky in warm weather, especially given their close construction. These bags pack well, especially when placed in compression stuff bags.
