don't want your sleeping bag taking up a large portion of your backpack the design of the Four Seasons even bags really allow for the maximum warrant and the minimum weight the way we've designed

with synergy link especially the mattress really is joined with a sleeping bag you stay on the mattress where you've warmed it up where you spent all your energy warming up the mattress what we've really done for the four season bags is add a little more insulation everywhere but it's still zoned with 15% of the insulation on the bottom and 85 on the top the Altair and the Centauri both rated zero degrees Fahrenheit or negative 18 degrees Celsius allowed you to explore into the winter months still haven't comfortable warm night sleep in the down bags we use premium 750 fill down it's lightweight compressible and warm in the synthetic bags we use air loft which is a specially formulated insulation that maximizes warmth but it really allows for compressibility all of this means more warmth than less weight especially when you're doing things like ski mountaineering and Arctic touring you you in my role as a late layin Jeff needs help kit that will keep you dry this out dry foot
