"The North Face Nova Sleeping Bag uses body-mapping anti-compression pads to keep the bottom half of the 800+ fill down from becoming compressed and useless. Shadowlite HyVent shell fabric protects the insulation from moisture whether you're hiding in a snow cave or trapped inside a condensation-covered tent.

"Without a doubt the best bag I have owned. Warm, lightweight and durable. Worth every penny. Too warm for some summer nights but I sleep in it unzipped if needed and when it turns cold zip it up."
