Flash Regular
|
2 lb. 7 oz.
|
$390

The Flash is the burly zero-degree bag in our Ultralight category. We stuff 800-fill goose down into fixed side-baffle construction and employ dual draft tubes and a Jacket Hood for maximum warmth. Use the Flash on extended ski tours or high-alpine backpacking trips - it won't take up excess space; it warms like a bag weighing 50-percent more; and a lighter pack means more comfortable days on the move. Foot Box Venting cools feet if you encounter unseasonably warm weather, while a half zip facilitates easy in-out without the additional weight of a full-length model.

Wicked Light Regular |
1 lb. 2 oz. |
$170 |
Lightweight shell material, a half-zipper, and premium 800-fill goose down allow us to craft a warm-but-featherweight sleeping bag—the Wicked Light. We realize, however, that skimping on details will only result in a poor night's rest, so we dial the Wicked Light out with removable Pad Locks, continuous baffle construction, and Snag Free Zipper Tracks. According to our research, cramped, overheated feet result in disturbed sleep, and Foot Box Venting allows you to regulate temps in the bottom of your bag. At just over a pound, the Wicked Light offers an unbeatable warmth-to-weight ratio…and a great night's rest.
