From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Kilo (or the 2.2-Pound Bag to us Yankees) 30-Degree is an amazingly lightweight and compressible goose down sleeping bag that gives you spacious comfort in freezing temps. Weighing a negligible 2lbs 1oz (hey that's LESS than a kilo!), this bag is perfect for backcountry touring and moving fast. Unlike many other The North Face Flight Series sleeping bags, the Kilo has a roomier shape with more generous space for the shoulders and chest. A vaulted footbox is spacious and extra warm for your feet and toes. The bag's 30D nylon ripstop shell is treated with durable water repellent to combat moisture. The Kilo's creature comforts include a color-coded pull cord for easy hood adjustment and easy-grab pull tabs and it stuffs down to the size of a football (an American one, that is)!"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Kilo Bag is a lightweight down bag for backpacking in mild conditions."

From REI:
"Choose this ultralight, 600-fill-power goose down bag from The North Face for weight-sensitive, warm-weather pursuits. Lightweight, compressible 600-fill-power goose down offers a high warmth-to-weigh ratio. Trapezoidal baffle construction evenly distributes goose down and keeps it from shifting from side to side, preventing cold spots. Shadowlite SL nylon ripstop top shell is water-resistant, breathable and downproof. Silken nylon taffeta lining is soft against the skin and tightly woven for durability. High-pressure areas (head, torso and feet) feature Climashield Prism pads instead of down for extra support and increased thermal efficiency. Features flat cord for hood adjustment and shockcord for neck/chest adjustment; flat hood reduces weight. Vaulted footbox allows natural foot movement and eliminates excess lateral space, increasing thermal efficiency to keep your feet warm and comfortable. Forehead comfort tube and full-length draft tube backing the zipper minimize heat loss. Head-level watch pocket helps ensure that you'll hear your alarm. Easy-grab, glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls and packcloth-lined zipper columns provide smooth, snag-free zipper operation. Comes with a nylon stuff sack and a nylon/mesh storage sack."

"This is a nice summer bag, but if you are going to be in anything approaching 32 degrees F, take your warmer bag. Light as feathers; really packs down tight; perfect for lightweight backpacking or mild weather trekking. Relofts nicely as long as you store it properly."

"I love this bag, it is very light, and packs very well, I have had many many miles packing under my belt, and have used many other brands,I ratethis bag right up with the other great one TNF has produced, although its not as warm as others,I can overlook this as a summer bag and early fall bag, maybe even spring, dont use it if it is gonna get cold, but on cooler nights its fantastic, I am a bigger guy, 200lbs, and I fit it nicely, I guess I can overlook the temperature rating because of it weight and comfort."
