From REI:
"A great choice for damp environments, Polarguard Delta retains much of its loft and warmth even when wet. Chest-level welded watch pocket ensures that alarm will be heard. Forehead comfort tube, insulated chest-level heat trap baffle and full-length draft tube backing the zipper minimize heat loss. Nylon/mesh storage bag and nylon stuff sack included. Overlapping shingle construction distributes insulation evenly and keeps it from moving around so there are no cold spots. Redesigned one-handed drawcords allow for easier hood adjustment and greater comfort. Silken lining is soft against the skin and tightly woven for durability. Top shell features extremely lightweight, wind- and water-resistant Firestorm fabric; taffeta bottom shell defends against grit/abrasion. Welded No-Snag zipper column with VELCRO brand closure zipper garage ensures easy access and smooth, simple zipper operation. Whether you're headed to the rainforest or the desert, this lightweight synthetic sleeping bag is a mild climate all-star that's sure to perform. Zippers feature glow in the dark pull tabs to eliminate nighttime fumbling."

"This sleeping bag is perfect for warm weather backpacking. It packs small, has plenty of room inside, and stays dry if exposed to water. This bag is perfect for a summer trip Yellowstone, Grand Teton, or even Glacier. I wouldn't leave home without it!"

"I'm 6'3" and i love the room this has. I've been on three hikes with this bag and all has gone well. One of the trips the bottom of the sleeping bag got wet and I didn't feel a thing thanks to the polarguard delta fabric. Even though this item is polarguard it has a soft feel and is very comfortable."
