Weight: 4 lbs 10 ozs

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.

It's not too heavy less than 5 lbs but a bit bulky even in a compression bag (but I think it compresses a bit better than comparable bags). It's reassuring to know that you've got a safe warm place after a day of skiing. The only bad thing is leaving the Bison the next morning to start skiing.

Well constructed and roomy.
Very happy with the bag, after the first year some buddies saw the awesome loft of the Bison and had to get one.
