The Northstar Coretech 3.5 multiple layer synthetic sleeping bag carries light and keeps you warm. Oversize designed mummy bag accommodates most sizes of people. With a survival temperature down to 0°F (-17°C) this bag is great for 3 season tent camping. Carry it backpacking with it’s ultralight 5.5lb trail weight. Hollow fiber silicone fill material has excellent compression to loft expansion characteristics creating an excellent thermal barrier for the weight. Richly colored rip-stop shell fabric is soft to the touch and rugged enough to last a lifetime. Advanced thermal insulation elements like a full-length zipper draft tube, chest baffle, and hood baffle, keep the heat around your body. A jumbo two-way, self-repairing #10 zipper is easy to grab with its extended reflective fabric pull tabs. Coretech’s mantra of Buy It For Life extends into every thread in our sleeping bag – each stress point is box stitched and edges are always double-stitched – it is built to last. Product zipped-up dimensions are 86” long by 36” wide by 24” tall with gusset sidewalls. All Coretech bags include a durable compression stuff pack with a drawstring closure and a buckle clipped flip-over cap.

The zipper parts are all heavy duty with a large zipper “track” so it doesn’t split open or get easily caught on the sleeping ba Bought this bag to do some car camping in the winter in southern California.

This bag saved my life!. This bag is the best! It is a bit on the larger side if you looking for a backpacking bag. This bag will keep you warm though all the way down to zero. The draw strings inside are great there’s one to bring the hood in and another to tighten near your shoulders. Honestly though I love this bag and like I said I was camping in the mountains and this bag saved my life!

Good price, good bag! Used this bag on a motorcycle trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan in October. Temps ranged from mid 30’s (F), to low 50’s, I was always comfortable.Be advised, the “Zero degree” rating is a “Survival” temp – the “comfort” level is around 30 degrees, F. Of course, comfort is a way subjective idea. Depending on your base layer, dampness, wind, age, weight, blood circulation, sleep pad and/or cot use, your experience will be slightly (or greatly) different. I’m 51, in fair shape, overweight (5’6″, 215 lbs.). I use a REI sleep pad with a “Helinox” brand cot. Conditions ranged from totally dry to heavy morning dew. So, in conclusion, I’d recommend this bag. It’s lightweight, packs small enough for motorcycle use, and is relatively roomy. On size, I’m short, so no biggie there, but it seems long enough that six-footers should still have ample room. As for comfort temp, I’d say 30 degrees without a bag liner, maybe as low as 20 deg with one.
