From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Denali, Aconcagua, Himalaya...mountaineering in its extreme sense. These are places where mistakes cannot be made and so the Western Mountaineering Bison Super is most often chosen to serve. DryLoft™ fabric makes this bag impervious to the elements while remaining lightweight and very compressible. Crammed with 42 ounces of 850+ fill power down this bag has 10 abundant inches of heat trapping loft. Huge V-Block Side Baffles and horizontal baffles across your chest keep the down fill in place. Double Interlocking Draft Tubes and a down filled DryLoft™ collar seal in heat and security while howling winds surround your tent. The massive hood is not only well filled but is completely made with DryLoft™ fabric and has a large integral hood ruff to seal your face from the elements. The Bison Super is the crowning glory of Western Mountaineering and demonstrates their commitment to innovation and quality. This life saving bundle weighs in at a scant 4 lb. 10 oz.

User Reviews

rated 5 of 5 stars Men's Bison Super DL
Reviewed by rockhead, Jul 27, 2008

"A great bag. Used multiple times in the Canadian Ski Marathon where you have to bivy in the Quebec woods in Feb. Spent comfortable nights in the bag only- no bivy sac, no pad, just some straw under the bag. I think it got down to -28 C. The dryloft was nice because the bag was being used as a stand alone shelter."
