Pros & cons

  • 'very warm for its class' and light, with a roomy footbox and a small but well-fitting hood
  • Traceable DOWN CODEX / RDS down and a water-resistant DRILITE LOFT shell
  • Trapezoid + slanted box-wall construction with 6-baffle footbox for expedition use
  • the close cut 'restricts leg movement'
  • Expensive next to similarly rated bags from Rab and Alpkit
