Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"For expeditions in the high mountains where trees are scarce and temperatures average in the single digits, retreat into the Tundra to stay warm and escape the brutal conditions. Keeping explorers warm in temperatures down to -20 degree Fahrenheit, this sleeping bag lets you survey terrain you may have thought to be uninhabitable. Synthetic, sub-zero bag for expeditions in extremely cold conditions. Climashield Neo synthetic insulation. Overlapping shingle construction evenly distributes insulation for consistent and comfortable warmth. Firestorm top shell fabric. Soft and breathable silken lining. Adjustable synthetic-filled draft collar with micro-fleece cord tunnel. Full-length draft tube. Welded No-Snag stiffener in zipper column. Head level zipper garage with welded reinforced Velcro flap. Chest level watch pocket with infusion. One-hand pull cord for easy hood adjustments with flat cordlock and Neoprene cover. Glow-in-the-dark zipper pull. One nylon/mesh storage bag and one compression stuffsack included. Right side zipper only."

From Backcountry.com:
"Camping in the frozen Siberian plains? Then you must be sleeping in The North Face Tundra -20F Synthetic Sleeping Bag. The North Face packed this freezing wasteland dweller with Climashield Neo synthetic insulation to simulate a Carribean beach on the inside while the icy winds are blowing on the outside of your tent. Firestorm topshell fabric keeps the wet elements off, and a silken inner lining breathes well and feels oh so soft. Overlapping shingle construction and draft collars keep heated air from escaping and a stiff zipper column prevents snags and makes getting in and out easy. The zipper tab even glows in the dark, so sneaking out for a midnight poop becomes a little easier."

Men's Tundra
Reviewed by Erik, Apr 23, 2009

"I hate to say it but most people do not understand how sleeping bags really work, or what the degree rating actually means.

First of all a sleeping bag is essentially insulation for your body. If you didn't heat your home, the insulation would not heat it for you."

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."

Tundra
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."

Reviewed by Daryn, Mar 02, 2005

"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."

"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."
