With a warm R-value of 48 compact dimensions. When packed down and a thick 2-inch base of comfort the Therm-A-Rest Trail Pro is an extremely versatile pad for year-round backpacking or camping That foam base throughout the pad also employs pressure mapping technology What. That means is dual-density foams are used throughout the pad (differing densities throughout the pad). That give you extra support in those areas. You need most — at the hips at the shoulders And. It thins out in those places. You don’t need it saving weight in the process Further saving weight are diagonal die cuts in the foam Take. Some foam out there. You shave weight At the same time. That diagonal cut keeps heat from being lost in the pad retains your body warmth. And makes it a great warm option for 4-season use The Trail Pro is manufactured in Seattle Washington — built here in the USA Other materials on. This pad includes a non-slip surface It has a nice feel to. It increase comfort But also helping keep. And your sleeping bag in place on top of the pad during the night Reinforced materials on the bottom fabric of the pad help to hold up to wear.

And tear and give it increased durability For storage for carrying during backpacking Therm-A-Rest also throw in a stuff sack Therm-A-Rest does recommend. You store any self-inflating pad with the integrated valve open When. They ship the pads they are in a compressed state so. You purchase a self-inflating pad it’s recommended. You open that valve. And give the pad 24 hours. Whatever time you can give it open so. That foam can rebound a little bit. And get to something closer to full inflation.

We are taking a closer look at the tried. And true comfort of the Therm-a-Rest Women’s Trail Pro Sleeping Pad This is a semi self-inflating pad And the real story here with your self-inflating sleeping pads is. You have an expandable foam core on the inside So the foam. That is in their acts kind of like a sponge with air As soon as. You open the air for this pad. That foam starts to expand It lets air in. And traps the air in the open cell foam And. It allows a lot easier inflation. Than your fully inflating pads. Iwill mention it doesn’t self-inflate completely So at the end. You know after you have waited maybe 10. Or 15 minutes you do have to inflate the rest of the pad by mouth And then from there. You can adjust the firmness. Or softness of the pad But with the design again tried. And true Therm-a-Rest design of. This pad this has been a pad. That has been in their line for decades. They continue to make improvements. We will take a look at. All the features The Trail Pro is definitely a backpack able option It rolls down to be small enough. And lightweight enough to bring in your pack It is certainly not the. Most ultralight pad in the Therm-a-Rest line but. You are looking for really great comfort. And really good clearance from the ground as well as the 48 R value. That gives you a lot of warmth from the cold ground. This is a really great four season mat Now. This is the women’s version so. It is 20 inches wide 66 inches long. It is two inch-es thick So. That provides a lot of comfort their If. You want more sprawling comfort. You need a wider or a longer pad there are definitely other sizes.

And other versions but the women’s specific version does offer. Some mapping with the foam It is not just. You know your standard foam on the inside Therm-a-Rest does a really good job of mapping the foam in different areas. You have a little more softness here a little. More firmness there And. It is die cut so that means. They take some of the foam out to make. It a little bit lighter weight but with. That four season use. You do have a lot of insulation there from the ground So. It is a really smart design And the women’s specific pad again does have certain insulation in places. Some of their other standard pads don’t have The fabrics used here are really durable And unlike. Some other sleeping pads. That have almost a crunchy sound to. This is a very silent sleeping pad So. Ican move it around. And bend and push on. You really don’t have a lot of sound there It doesn’t have.

Any sort of crunch anything like. You are sensitive to. That kind of noise you are sleeping this might be a really great pad for you And again. It has kind of brushed feel to the top so. It is really soft as well. This pad really easy to inflate With. That semi self-inflating foam on the inside basically. Idid was undone the valve let. It sits there for a couple of minutes. And then you know give it a couple of breaths of air at the end just to give it the. You know the inflation. Iwant The valve is constructed in such a way. It is really easy to make minor adjustments here. Even has a little rubberized grip on the outside So. You have this pad fully inflated. You can lay down on. You know some people like to kind of sink into their sleeping pads Some people like their sleeping pads to be really firm And.

You can make minor adjustments with. That valve It is really easy to use Unlike. Some valves that are. Either open or closed. You can really dial in the firmness of the pad which is. Something I really appreciate about the durable Therm-a-Rest valves All in. This is a very warm very comfortable. And easy to us sleeping pad for the back country It would be great for camping or traveling as well Therm-a-Rest does include a stuff sack so. You can roll that down. And stuff it into the stuff sack so. You can throw it into your pack It is the Therm-a-Rest Women’s Trail Pro Sleeping Pad.

today we’re gonna look at therm arrest rate proof. They good material strong. And durable length is a hundred to three. One hundred ninety-six centimeters long comes in two variants it’s a fifth. Or 63 centimeters wide waist 105. Or 114 kilos easy to inflate of course puffy self compatible just open up a phone inflated for you but do. You have to top it off by blowing into the novel a little bit deflating it is then easy in. That direction clothes. And also unroll it up again. And then it’s nice and tight easily so highly recommended sleeping mats are used over time worked well in winter earnest

Therm-a-rest has a long history of durable high-quality sleeping pad and. The women’s trail pro has been in their line for years getting small improvements along the way now this. Iconic pad is really versatile for camping backpacking and travel it is. Considered a self inflating pad which means that the core is made out of open. Cell foam it’s highly compressible when you need to pack it away and it’s tucked back but it expands soaks up air when. You open the valve this makes it really. Easy to inflate because you don’t need to huff and puff to blow it up it really. Does most of the work for you so once you get to camp you just lay it out in your tent open up that valve and once. It’s left alone for about 15 to 20 minutes the foam would have expanded and. Then you can just top it off as your preferred thickness so you do need to inflate it a little bit at the end now. When it’s fully inflated it is a full. Two inches thick and that also is really. Great for insulating you from the ground our value here is around four point. Eight so it makes it great for season use now I’ve got it inflated. Mostly all the way here and you can see. These little dimples these are actually cutouts of the thumb so what summer s. Do they have a method for cutting the foam so that it minimizes bulk and minimizes weight but it still gives you really good thermal efficiency the. Little cutouts here don’t go straight up and down through the fun they’re actually cut diagonally through that panel of foam so you don’t lose as much. Heat as you would with a hole that’s. Just cut right straight through so that’s a pretty neat feature probably my. Favorite feature though here is around the edge of the pad you have a wider. Baffle here that actually kind of cradles you into the middle of the pad I’ve slept on pads like this that have. Kind of that wider baffle on the edge. And I’ve slept on pads they’re just flat and i think these definitely give you a. More comfortable feeling it doesn’t feel like you’re sliding off the pad in the middle of the night especially if you find yourself camping on an uneven surface now if i go to the valve here. The valve is really durable tried-and-true it can be any easier to use their’s just a twist open twist. Closed valve now a common question about. Sleeping pads customers like to ask us is about the level of noisiness as you move around on the pad some had. Have a crinkly sound some pads kind of. Make a swishing noise against your sleeping bag but i found the material of. This pad to be nice and soft and almost. Silent so it’s really not annoys e at all it does come with an included stuff. Sack so it packs down to be about this small if you’re looking for an easy to. Inflate comfortable pad for year-round. Use check out the tried-and-true therm-a-rest women’s trail pro thanks.

Everyone its Ashlee. Ihave made a new purchase. Ipicked up a thermal rust trail Pro woman’s sleeping head. It has a R value of 48 so great for the winter camping trip. Ihave coming up this weekend. Ihave done winter camping in the past. And sadly the one experience was a little discouraging I froze. That said I didn’t have a good sleeping pad so hopefully. This changes everything I thought. Iwould unveil it just so. Anyone else who might be thinking about going winter camping or interested in a sleeping pad. That will withstand colder temperatures maybe. It can help them out a little bit sir-sir Dirks. Ihad initially been looking mostly for something. That was good for colder temperatures but also keeping in mind a reasonable price points for me. This was fair it was 104 dollars. It on sale at a local store seems like. They generally go for 120 dollars I’m sure I’m making this a little much. More difficult it needs to be Oh kind of like Christmas morning whenever you’re opening stuff can here. We go so it is sail fin bleeding so definitely be long enough for myself for a taller woman.

You might want to. Something maybe better men’s sizes. Or I’m pretty sure they have sizes for. Both sexes but for me. Iknow that’s all from 5 to 4 so. These works hoping this makes for a really good winter camping trip so. Ijust wanted to show. You guys and hope you’re. All having a good day buy.

We’re gonna take a closer look at rabb’s line of neutrino 400 sleeping bags. Premium offerings 800 fill european. Goose down mummy shape extremely. Lightweight and compressible excellent. Options for three season mountaineering or backpacking labs tests all of their. Bags with an en test method a european. Test method that establishes a range of. Temperatures a kind of lower end and then a higher end as well but the men’s. And the women’s really are in the range. Of 25 degrees so when we talk about three seasons you’ve got that warmth that except for the most extreme cold here in. The us these bags probably serve you. Well year-round three-quarter length zipper on both the men’s and the. Women’s bag so you’ll see that the zipper makes it almost to the foot box this improves thermal efficiency but not. By not having any point at which cold air can reach your feet it also has some weight savings as well is it two two-way. Zipper so it does give you the ability to do a little venting down here in. Instances where it’s a little one. You’ve got shaping here on the foot box that creates a nice natural position for. Your feet inside the bag gives a little. Bit of comfort there the baffled. Construction on these bags is actually. As a trapezoidal chamber what it does is. It makes certain that the down insulation isn’t migrating isn’t moving it’s in causing dead spaces because of that so you’ve got nice consistent insulation throughout the bag again goes. A long way to ensuring that you stay warm behind the zipper there is an. Insulated draft tube so that runs again. The length of the zipper just another barrier and making sure that cold air stays outside the back also insulated. Tube that runs the whole way around beneath what would be your chin behind the head here and really kind of seals. Off to make sure the cold air is slipping over the top a nice contoured. Hood on these bags that mirrors what you’d see on unwrapped jackets points of. Adjustability here inside the bag kind. Of secure things down snugly and again. Eliminate any dead spots also small. Zippered pocket inside the bag for keys. Valuables anything you might want to keep within easy reach with each. Neutrino 400 bag rab does include a. Stuff sack and this is a really slick. Stuff sack you’ve got drawstring closure on the inside to cinch down that bag compress it to its smallest state and then you’ve got a roll-top closure on. Top of this stuff sack so you’re looking. At a compression dry sack which is a great feature to have on a three-season bag additionally rab includes a cotton. Storage sack so when you get home as. You’d want to do with a sleeping bag any sleeping bag you want to store it in a non compress state that will maintain. That loft and increase the lifespan of. The sleeping bag rab neutrino 400 bags. Lightweight pack able offerings. Excellent build on these bags just make great options for three seasons. Backpacking.

what’s good everybody Chris here again Chris goes outdoors in one of my last videos you saw me travel to an REI garage sale pick up a slightly damaged therm-a-rest

We’re gonna take a look at therm-a-rest neoair excellent pad this is the women’s. Specific version weighs in at 12 ounces this is gonna be perfect for anyone that’s looking to go fast and light especially those of you out there they’re considering doing a thru-hike you’ll want to take a look at this pad a two and a half inches thick this pads gonna offer a great night sleep and it. Does have an r-value that allows it to use for three seasons part of that is due to a reflective barrier that’s built inside the pad that’s reflecting your body heat back up to you instead of having the ground leach it out of you and in the women’s specific model there is a double barrier so compared to the basic x-lite which only has a single barrier the women’s version has two since women typically sleep colder the. Newer x-lite is an inflatable sleeping pad so you will need to blow it up by mouth on the other hand this allows the. Pad to be packed up very tight and small and you’ll notice the minimal design where a thermal arrest has trimmed off the corners at the feet and the head. Doesn’t require as many breasts to blow. This style of pad up for that reason it also is in keeping with that minimalist design concept there’re a women’s specific model this pad fits someone up to five feet five inches long if you’re a woman and you’re taller than that like me you’ll have to go with the basic neoair x-lite which does fit up to six feet this pad does come with a stuff. Sack it packs up to about nine inches by four inches so easily fit in a pack and therm rest does include a repair kit. Should you run into any problems in the field and which you might need to patch or repair the pad you’ve got the things you need there to do it.

Hi this is becca I’m tyler they were. Ripped off for two so today we’re going to talk about our therm-a-rest neoair x-lite sleeping pads so this is actually. A pretty fairly recent purchase that. We’ve had for the upcoming backpacking season, so we have not used this yet in our backpacking adventures but in the. Past we’ve gone with various inflatable. Pads but we’ve had a mummy style sleeping bag and more recently we’ve. Switched over to quilts and so for that. Reason that god is kind of thinking about other options for sleeping pads, and so we came across this therm-a-rest. Neo air x-lite and obviously there are pros and cons to it, so we’ll go ahead and blow these up so you can see it, and then we’ll talk about what some of those are. All right so we’ll go ahead and talk. About each of these we each chose to get. A different version mine is the short version it’s lighter it’s the lightest. Of them but i typically bring a sip pad. Along with me also it’s using my wrap which is this little neo eric pad so. I’ll typically um you know use a 3/4. Length pad and then use my pad for my wrapped down at my foot end to have that. Support there so i thought if i have. This already it may as well make use of it and i got the shorter length pad so. This is a total of 8 ounces for this. Short pad and it has an r-value of 3.2. And so you know that obviously is a. Benefit to when using quilts you don’t. Have anything under you we thought you know getting warmer pads beneath us would help out a lot and i chose to go with the women’s pad. It’s lighter than the regular men’s pad. It’s one ounce lighter so it’s 11 ounces and the regular men’s pad comes in. To 12 ounces they also have an r value of 3.9 so it’s really warm and I’m a. Cold sleeper so i really like that factor about it and a couple things that. I don’t like is this actually takes a really long time to blow up unless you have some kind of inflation device which. I think there were ourselves but it wasn’t worth it to us um also the thing. That i don’t like it but it’s really creepily so every time you move you’re making lots of noise and supposedly. That’s supposed to go away over time, but we haven’t seen that go away yet so those are my cons but overall i. Really like this pad it’s really comfortable it has four inches of. Inflation so it brings you pretty high. Up off the ground and like i said it was really warm so yeah so just to kind of compare the women’s is a little bit. Shorter than the regular length men’s cut also so that was one reason and the. One thing one difference between the women’s and the men’s regular is that the women’s pad is a little bit wider but it is shorter and overall it is slightly. Less heavy but I’m just looking at it. Here this short version one even then. The women’s version is quite a bit shorter so it no really just depends. What they have they also have they have. A small the regular and then a long size and then obviously the women’s specific one which becca said has the higher. R-value because women tend to sleep a. Little bit colder, but we’re very excited for these, so we think it’s going to be a good addition to our sleep system especially using quilts having that higher r-value. You.

Hey without their gear to eat and today. I have the women’s Cerberus neoair x light the neoair x light is very. Comfortable lightweight compact able sleeping pad let’s talk about the features, and then we’ll go into how it performed this pad is an updated version. Of the old neo air and it weighs about 15% lighter than the original it weighs. In around 12 ounces which is really good it might not be the lightest sleeping pad on the market but it’s definitely comfortable and warm and that’s a pretty good trade off the top and the bottom fabric is 30 deep high tenacity nylon and the warmth comes from a reflective. Layer inside the bag that recycles body heat and creates dual air pockets that. Conserve warmth it’s extremely pack able and as you can see it packs down to the size of the water bottle it’s about two and a half inches thick and 20 inches wide the sleeping pad comes with a stuff. Sack and a repair kit and it cost around 159 and is made in the usa so let me. Start by saying that this is definitely one of the most comfortable sleeping pads I’ve ever slept on that being said. There are a few minor issues if you’re next if your tent mate is a light. Sleeper you might wake them up because this is a pretty crinkly sleeping pad however it doesn’t affect me sleeping on. It then the other issue is that it’s a. Little bit short and narrow i think they did that to cut back on weight however if you’re 5 6 and under this is a great. Sized sleeping pad if you’re 5 7 like me it’s a little bit short which i didn’t even notice the first time i slept on it because i usually curl up on my side and. With that being said the 2 and a half. Inches thickness here really helps side sleepers because your shoulders and your. Hips don’t hit the ground it is a little. But narrow when you’re sleeping on your side hasn’t been an issue for me I’d kind of the warmth and the comfort is a nice trade-off lastly I’m really pretty impressed at. How warm this sleeps it’s a three-season sleeping pad they do have the x theorem which is for season if you sleep warm there’s a good possibility you could use this for all four seasons last night it dropped down to low teens. And i was still pretty chilly but between the you know the thickness that. Kept me off the sleeping the ground and just you know the reflective layers they. Have in here i slept pretty warm considering how cold i am oiz and so i. Definitely recommend this sleeping pad you’re just looking for a really lightweight comfortable sleeping pad like i said this is the therm-a-rest neoair x light check it out this is. Whitney with outdoor gear tv gets tube gear and get outside.

Catering to ounce counting backpackers. And thru-hikers the therm-a-rest neoair. X-lite sleep system combine some of. Therm-a-rest most lightweight most pack able components including the neo. Air x light inflatable sleeping pad the. Alpine down blanket a fastened light. Snap kit to connect the two together and. An ultra light pillow case in which you can stuff hats layers other clothes to. Make a nice comfortable headrest the foundation for the neo air x light sleep system is of course the neo air x light. Pad this is an inflatable pad very. Compact very lightweight 12 ounces total. Wait for what is the regular length of the pad that we’re looking at here 20 by 72 3.2 r-value takes up very. Little space inside your pack it’s. Coupled with the alpine down blanket. Alpine down blanket has a 35 degree. Temperature rating on it you can see. That what it stuffs down to total weight. For the blanket is pound and a half for. The pad itself is only twelve ounces so. You’re just over two pounds for the entire sleep system definitely a weight. That’s going to appeal to most in order to get the best performance out of the sleep system it’s important that the alpine blanket actually attached to the. Neo air xy pad thermos makes it easy by. Including these adhesive strips you see here fast and light mattress snap kit each of these has a different attachment. Point that matches to the male or female. Snap located here on the outside edges. Of the alpine down blanket I’ve already. Attached these obviously I’ll attach the other side here you’ll notice there’s. Baffling here on the inside of the down. Blanket that increases warmth by being tucked there on the other side and maximizes thermal efficiency of the sleep system. Final step then in assembling the sleep. System is making sure that you’ve brought that elastic cuff around the. Bottom of the path so — everything’s securely in place we’ve shown the snaps. Here in use but we’d put these on. Beforehand these come loosely package by. Therm-a-rest you’ll need to put them on the pad yourself by pulling up these strips to show the adhesive definitely. Advise to do that before you’ve inflated the pad so this is a flat surface and therm rest advise is give it about 24. Hours for these to set up to ensure that they’re in place and going to stay in. Place and be where you need them when you’re out in the back country. You.

This is the sierra designs nitro ul 800. 0 degree sleeping bag this 4 season bag. Has a thermally efficient and weight saving mummy cut and it utilizes. Lightweight compressible and weather resistant dry down insulation let’s have. A closer look unlike traditional down. Which can lose its ability to keep you warm if it becomes wet the feathers in. This bag has been treated to stay dry longer and dry out faster if they do. Become damp best of all the dry down insulation continues to keep you warm. Even on cold wet nights personally i. Still want to know that the insulation is fully protected and the bags water repellent nylon rip stop shell gives me. Back confidence the bags tapered mummy. Cut and baffled design reduces bulk and. Wait while also eliminating empty space inside the bag only has a. Half length zipper but that helps to cut down on weight it makes the bag that much warmer and that’s still plenty of. Access to the inside of the bag additional insulation at the collar and behind the zipper add to the overall warmth my feet get hot regardless of the. Temperature so I’m also a big fan of foot vents the simple overlapping design. On the nitros foot vent is great it’s easy to extend your feet if they get too. Hot but when you pull them back in the vent self seals and keeps you warm the. Bag weighs well under three pounds and fits inside an included 16-inch by 9. Inch stuff sack that can actually compress even smaller than that a mesh. Storage sack is also included and it’s the best way to store the bag to maintain loft and extend the life of the.

We’re taking a closer look at the men’s ratio and women’s horatio 15 degree. Sleeping bags these are mummy style bags that are filled with 650 fill q shields. Down what’s so important about q shield. Down is that each plume is coated with a water resistant finish so if these bags. You know are subject to rain or moisture. In any way they’re going to hold up better than traditional down with. Traditional down you lose all your thermal efficiency if the sleeping bag. Becomes wet so these are going to dry. Our faster if they become wet they’re going to stay drier longer, and they’re ultimately going to keep you warmer in wet conditions the first thing that struck me about these sleeping bags is the baffle design so you have kind of diamond pattern as opposed to. Traditional sleeping bags that would have baffles that go horizontally across. The bag this is mountain hardwear’s thermal trap design which basically has. The down and smaller chambers throughout. The bag so that you have a much more consistent warmth this is a traditional. Mummy style sleeping bag so you’ve got a hood and the bag tapers down into the. Feet just to keep that thermal efficiency with the bag going up to the. Hood you have a fully baffled really comfortable hood the fabric on the. Inside is really soft really comfortable and you’ve got a just single draw cord. Here so you can cinch down that hood on. Cold nights there’s a velcro tab that. Just keeps the zipper there and if. You need to unzip the bag or want this tab to just be out of your way you can. Fold that back and a full length zipper. For a mummy sleeping bag now the zipper. Doesn’t go all the way down to the bottom of the foot box but to keep that thermal efficiency it goes almost all. The way down so full length zipper. Behind the zipper you have a nice draft. Tube and you also have. Um a more durable fabric behind the zipper that is an anti snag design so. I’m just going to really not worry about. Snagging your sleeping bag down at the. Bottom the zipper is a two-way zipper so. If you just need to vent the bag from the bottom or fencing the bag from the. Top and bottom you can have the zipper. Go both ways and the foot box is. Definitely a box design so they didn’t. Just take the top and bottom of the sleeping bag and sew them together there’s a really nice box better for a. Thermal efficiency and it’s much more comfortable for your feet to have that. Sort of design there so that’s a great feature as well the 650 fill down is. Really compressible so they include a. Stuff sack and also just a storage sack. Mesh storage sack so to store it at home. Just to show you how compressible that is as you can see i can even compress. That down to be a little bit smaller. Then the included stuff sack so if you. Purchase your own compression sack you. Can even get that down to be a little bit smaller but for a 15 degree sleeping. Bag this compresses down to be to. Be pretty small perfect for backpacking. With the compressible 650 fill down and. With mountain hardwear’s q shield down you can be confident of a good night’s sleep on your next backpacking adventure it’s the men’s ratio and women’s hair. Ratio sleeping bags by mountain hardwear.

Hi guys today I’m gonna do a review on. The rab ascent 900 sleeping bag i. Brought this bag about two days ago and. I thought i did a review on it. Because i when i went to look on youtube. For a review there wasn’t like many on there so it. Was quite difficult to see what bag was like so i thought that I’d really just. Slept in it last night in a hammock and. I thought it was great the sleeping bag. Has a it’s a left year is its a. Left-side zip. So i thought that it would be like a bit. Uncomfortable as I’m used to sleeping in. A bag with the middle zip but it was. Actually really comfy it was really nice. I didn’t wake up once it was just so. Warm really comfy it was really nice i. Thought I’d have problems with it in the hammock but it was fine it was great. So I’m happy with that I’m glad i. Brought it. Please be use the bag or laid out it’s a. Nice chilly / red salt color so the. Outer material is made of pertex. Microlight it’s filled with it says. Premium duck down service so i was. Researching what bag together so i. Wasn’t to sure which one. And i was indecisive about getting down. Bag or synthetic i want to get down bag. Because it’s warmer it compresses. Smaller it’s really nice. But then you can’t get it wet because it. Takes quite a long time to dry out. No come kind of damp so i was unsure. About that but i decided to get down bag. Because i mainly sleep in a hammock and i have a tarp over the top instead. Of ground-dwelling so i know that i. Wouldn’t get wet on the top of the. Velcro that’s very bit flap there such a. Good quality it’s got a left slip very good it’s got. A double zip so if i wanted to have it. Coming up like that get the feet in. Aaron i can do that so they’re good. Quality zips really easy to get in and. Out of when I’m laying in my hammock last night it’s got two toggles inside. This one is for tightening the hood up. Like that if you want it nice and tight. Against your head so you can loosen that. Or tighten it depends on our cold it is a. Can toggle is to cinch around your. Neck so no cold air can come through. That just goes around your body tightens. Up and it’s also loosened if you wanted to. Get out the toggle can loosen pretty. Quickly and they’re nice goods adjustable. Next we have a little inside. Internal zip so you can probably fit. Phone in there or some money or keys or. Whatever you keep in your bag that’s. Valuable. Is a white box you can see it’s really. Large and we’ve got two hooks here if. You want to dry out the bag or air out. In the trees you can hang it from there. There’s that inside there is a battle so. No heat will escape as its closed over. And when they’re zips cold your. Skin might touch it’s you’ve got this protecting it like that it goes all the. Way through down to the bottom of the zip like that it’s really what do you. Call it fluffy. It was so comfortable last night i was. Really good i think it dropped down to. About it was about 10:00 last night so. It weren’t that cold but i was. Really hot it’s like to keep on the dip in it’s really warm it’s one of the. Face bags I’ve ever slept in and. I’m really happy with it i think this. Fits really comfortable pillow but i. Could i always could use this out leaves. Or my coat of a cloven in it to make a. Pillow but that’s about it. I’m really happy with it the bag was. Originally 270 pounds i got christ’s. Promise on it and got it for 220 so. Definitely worth the money and i love. The bag it’s really nice yeah two thumbs. Out on the inside of the bag it just explains the sleep limit it says minus. 18 degrees the weight goes down to 1530. Grams so it goes really light and it’s. Really good quality so it’s good to say. There i wasn’t sure which is sent back. To get it comes in the 500 and the 700. And obviously there 900 i was going to. Get the 700 but it didn’t drop down the. Temperatures and go as low as this one and it just is more comfy earth and the. Hood was that kept flapping around on. The 500 so i wasn’t really happy with. That so i tried to get this pc. Compression and sat just gonna put it in. There and show you how small it. Compresses too. You. Nice adjustable foot. So here it is in the compression sack. You can put a little tighter but I’m not. Going to do that today and say you have. It really small i have a osprey rock. Sack that’s only 46 liters so i was. Really worried if it wasn’t going to fit. In there if it’s perfectly happy about. That it’s obviously not good to keep the. Bag in this sack for more than 24 hours. Because the feathers will get damaged. And it will just wait fluff up as. Much as it’s meant to that’s why they. Supply with this white bag so you. Can keep airing it out the feathers. Don’t get all compressed but I’m really. Happy with it i highly recommend it i. Think it’s great the only negative I’d say about it is it. It’s really hard to get out in the morning it’s so comfortable so I’m gonna. Keep testing it in colder temperatures. And see how it gets on so yeah thank you. For watching the review the rab ascent. 900.
