The North Face Cat’s Meow +20 Sleeping Bag – Regular
I took this bag out for a three day weekend in the Colorado Front Range Mt.s . I have to say to begin with that it was probably the warmest +20 degree sleeping bag I have ever used. The second night out it got down to 15 degrees and I stayed comfortable all night without having to put any extra clothing on. That more than I can say for most bags in this very competitive category.
Build quality appears to be quit good. The zippers moved very freely and the hood was easy to pull uptight around my face without any discomfort. There was plenty of room around my shoulders but the foot box did seem a bit confining.
Being 5ft 10in tall the Cat’s Meow in the standard size gave me just enough room to really stretch out. I would say the bag would max out at a 6ft 1in frame. From my cold weather experience in the bag the new Polarguard Delta insulation does store a bit more heat than the now trusted Polarguard 3D.
If your looking to spend under $170 on a good 3 season sleeping bag and want it to last for many seasons to come you should give this bag a hard look. I would definitely recommend this one.
