This synthetic sleeping bag's durable, water-resistant shell protects you from misty fog and wet morning dew. The half-length zipper and welded construction keep this Flight Series sleeping bag at just over 2 pounds, so you can pack it in and head out on your spring, summer or fall backpacking adventure. If your feet get hot, bend down, unzip the Fission's zippered footbox and stick your hot feet into the cool night air."

"The Fission is an ultralight, extremely compressible, twenty-degree bag for all-season backpacking."
