Looking for experience with them being used in a winter camping environment. Bottom insulation is covered. I do not want a quilt, I don't want a different bag, I'm looking at these for specific reasons. Any experience with them is greatly helpful.
The North Face Furnace 0 Degree Down Sleeping Bag
Kelty Cosmic 0 Degree DriDown Sleeping Bag
Outdoor Vitals Summit 0 Degree Down Sleeping Bag
Marmot Never Summer Sleeping Bag 0 Degree Down
My son uses the Kelty Cosmic 0 for scouts for winter time. The newer versions of this bag are 600 fill instead of 550. Good value bag, not the lightest.
I've seen but not used the Outdoor Vitals 0 and I have a hard time believing it is a 0 based upon the loft.
I have the Never Summer 0° down bag. It's true to rating, in my experience. Sleeping in heavy fleece, beanie, gloves, heavy socks, I can be quite comfortable down into the negative single digits. It's surely not Western Mountaineering, but it's fair value for the price.
Do you know if the down is treated at all? That'd be a useful thing to know and work with. Dridown stuff is really nice. Condensations a bitch.Quote:

More importantly, did you ever define "winter conditions"? I may have missed it.
