hey I'm Casey some Nick product manager for Sierra Designs today I'm excited to tell you about our new cloud sleeping bag the cloud is a zipper las' sleeping bag similar to our backcountry bed but when we were designing this we tried to save significant weight depending on the temperature range it is anywhere from 8 to 11 ounces lighter than our backcountry bed and only one ounce heavier than our nitro collection in order to hit our weight goals we use 800 fill power dry down and 15 denier shell and liner fabrics like the backcountry bed the cloud includes a half pad sleeve this is essentially the fitted sheet so you insert your pad into the sleeve which is basically like your mattress and by combining those two things together you create your bed like structure the cloud features a crescent-shaped opening and the reason that's important is when you're inside the bag it provides tension along that line preventing the bag from opening up instead it wants to stay wrapped around you sealing out drafts the hood on the cloud is similar to a traditional mummy you have adjustments on the upper hood and the lower portion of the quilt so if temperatures get cold you can simply cinch those up and you get the thermal efficiency of a traditional mummy bag the key to the cloud design is the integrated comforter this is similar to our backcountry bed but where it differs is that only opens to one side and that is to save weight the comforter has a unique shoulder pocket that was designed to stay wrapped around you to help seal out drafts the cloud offers several venting solutions which is key to keeping you comfortable in your sleeping bag first of all the comforter itself can simply be pushed out of the way to vent your core at the bottom of the bag is our hands-free foot vent this allows you to vent your feet by simply raising your knee and sticking your toes out the bottom of the bag the cloud is available for men in two temperature ranges 35 degree in a 20 and for women in the 20 degree if you've been looking for a more comfortable ultralight sleeping bag we invite you to check out the cloud there simply is nothing that provides this level of comfort at this weight you hi I'm John and today I'm going to show you how to use the wilderness cover in three different ways fully seam sealed this all-purpose outdoor necessity is made with ventia two-and-a-half layer waterproof breathable fabric the cover converts into three different modes for walking sleeping and shelter when hiking through the woods and an unexpected downpour occurs the wilderness cover can be worn as a jacket or poncho open up the two-way water-resistant zippered on holes and adjust the wire-rimmed hood to keep the rain away from your face as you venture along pull the bottom draw cord tight to make room for your feet as you walk for the ultimate emergency shelter use the wilderness cover as a bivvy center simply lie down loosen the draw cord pull in your arms and zip up the water resistant zippers cover your face with the hood and cuddle in for a dry night there is even a small internal pocket to stash your keys or wallet the wilderness cover can be used in a pinch during unexpected weather set up a makeshift shelter with Stakes and rope in whatever trees or branches you can find rain will slide off the waterproof fabric keeping you dry until the storm passes if you find yourself without rope throw it over some trees and make a tarp to protect you from the elements the cover features 8 tie-down loops meaning the uses are only limited by your
