From Backcountry.com:
"Stay warm during your damp, sub-zero expedition with The North Face Tundra -20 Degree Sleeping Bag. Store your watch in the chest-level pocket so you're not late for your pre-dawn summit push, stuff your clothes into the built-in pillow pocket, and slumber like a bear in winter. The Climashield Neo insulation and drawcord hood cocoon you against frigid temps. The North Face's overlapping shingle construction prevents cold spots from developing, even after years of hardcore camp-outs. The Tundra Sleeping Bag's vaulted footbox gives your feet more room to move around but keeps them toasty warm, and the adjustable draft collar blocks cold air from creeping in."

From REI:
"Adjustable insulated draft collar with microfleece cord tunnel is comfortable against skin. Chest-level pocket keeps watch, glasses or other items within easy reach. Color-coded, one-handed hood drawcords and glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls make adjustments easy at night. Includes compression stuff sack and nylon/mesh storage bag. Oversized top draft tube backing snag-free zipper prevents heat loss. Polarguard Delta offers 10% more loft and 12% less weight than Polarguard 3D insulation so it's warmer, lighter and more compressible. Top shell features extremely lightweight, wind- and water-resistant Firestorm fabric; taffeta bottom shell defends against grit/abrasion. Trekking in damp, sub-zero temperatures? The Tundra is suited perfectly for expeditions in such conditions. Vaulted footbox provides ergonomic comfort."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Tundra features a synthetic, sub-zero bag for expeditions in extremely cold conditions."

Men's Tundra
Reviewed by Jfierstine, Feb 10, 2008

"I agree with some of the previous reviews. This bag has a tendency to be a little on the chilly side. Although I've never slept in it when the temperatures dip in to the minus teens, realistically I don't think it would keep a person comfortable at -20F."

Reviewed by Sarai, Dec 26, 2007

"I backpack a lot in the Smokey Mountains and in Virginia, but I'm moving to New England so I wanted a really warm bag for winter up there. I bought this sleeping bag from Campmor and tested it in my backyard close to the Smokies in December.

I wasn't entirely satisfied, it's about a foot too long for me and so my feet were kind of cold."

"After years of hauling around my old military surplus sleeping bag, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I knew I wanted something that would be warm in sub-zero temps. I also knew I wanted it to be as lightweight as possible. Finally, I didn't want to spend a fortune."

"Don't buy this bag. I am a guide in NW Montana that wanted a syn bag that could take a beating. This one can't and I have froze all over the state of Montana the past two seasons. Crap, I am biting the bullet and buying a Marmot Col."

"Okay, this bag, when you buy it, is hot enough for its rating. The problem is that if you are a frequent user and you compress it often, it really loses its loft. Me, after one winter of use, my Tundra looked like a blanket. Now I only use it for autumn or spring trips where it's humid and I can't bring my down bag."

"This bag is rated to minus 20. I used it with an insulated pad, North Face Mountain 25 tent, and snowy temps at minus 10 degrees. This bag is cold. It is NOT the bag to buy for the cold. I froze and I do not sleep cold. I agree with the previous reviewer, Rich, about the Tundra's synthetic fill."

Reviewed by Nutnfancy, Dec 06, 2004

"I didn't want to believe it but this bag is not warm. I do not blame the bag's construction: it is superb. Super high quality grid nylon, design, and stitching make North Face bags as good as any out there.

The problem is the insulation. This was the first time I used PolarGuard Delta and has studied its properties before buying this and some other NF Bags (Snowshoe, Cat's Meow)."

Tundra (Long)
Reviewed by Scott, Jun 21, 2004

"I love this bag. If you are considering buying this bag do it! Buy the long so you can stick a fleece down at the bottom so you can keep warm in the morning if need be."
