    Anthony, could you measure single layer loft?

    The bag is designed to come up to the neck and then I wear a Crestone hood or a hat in warmer weather. It's designed for someone 5'10", I'm 5' 11" but it fits comfortably. It does have an narrow footbox, I take a size 9 1/2 and if my feet were larger I would need the next size up.

    The single layer loft is about 3 inches with the 3 oz overfill, 900 fill. I'll do a review once I've had it out on a few trips. The 7d is tightly woven and should also make a for a warmer bag which is what I wanted.

    That's very interesting. Anthony, yours is a 20*F bag with overfill.

    The one that I had my hands on the other day was a 30*F bag, and the single layer loft was 3" on it. Maybe it had been over-fluffed.

    Bob, I'm conservative in my guess work. I'll let you know how warm it is, I'm going to spend a week in snow country.

    Yeah, I'm chicken. When it comes to a snow camping trip, I generally carry a sleeping bag good for -10*F or -20*F.

    I also have the 20 degree bag in medium, but mine measures 5'5" for the external length. Is it possible that yours is the long, Anthony? That should be 4" longer.
    I got 1 oz of overfill and the single layer loft varies between 3 3/8" and 3 1/2".
    Edited to add:
    I went back and measured again. The first measurement was running the tape across the top of the fully lofted baffles. Measuring it again but flattening the bulge in the centre of the baffles gave a length of 5'10", as did measuring it along the line of the zip.

    Not sure I understand the terminology correctly. You say single layer loft of 3 inches. The photo shows a loft of a little less than 4 inches at the foot box. Wouldn't that imply a 2 inch single layer loft?

    Ray,
    in the picture 'Horseshoe Meadows in Sequoia NF bracketed by my kids’ GoLite UltraLite 3 quilts' what tent are you using?

    Thanks,
