Jun 10, 2014 at 9:40 pm #2110548Article states that the Zpacks bag does not have a zipper baffle, but it does indeed have one.

Jun 10, 2014 at 9:53 pm #2110552correction, the Zpacks zipper baffle is an option at time of ordering..

Jun 11, 2014 at 12:30 am #2110577""""The hoodless PHD Minim 400 will be available soon with 900 EU (936 US) fill-power down."""
"""Both the PHD and ZPacks bags are hoodless, """""
I din´t notice that phd had hodless bags in his range…. thank you for the info ;-)
Maybe including "loft" measures in the comparison chart would be interesting …
Jun 11, 2014 at 6:11 am #2110605Glad to see Will has not lost his touch. Excellent review.
Jun 11, 2014 at 10:40 pm #2110863PHD are making a hoodless bag? How bizarre.
Jun 12, 2014 at 4:53 pm #2111083It's the beard that does it, sticking out of the opening …
Cheers
Jun 12, 2014 at 5:21 pm #2111093Good looking sleeping bag.
12 oz of down seems a little low for a 24 oz bag weight. The down shifting makes me think it is barely enough down to fill the bag.
Jun 12, 2014 at 11:24 pm #2111186I've always wondered, are the baffles through-stitched or do they use box-construction with a divider between the inner and outer fabric? The stitching looks very pronounced for box construction.
Jun 15, 2014 at 8:50 am #2111644Will and BPL,
I'm very surprised to find that you omitted what is arguably the best and lightest sleeping bag of the bunch – Enlightened Equipment's Enigma Pro. I own the Enigma, Zpacks and Montbell bags and can without a doubt say the EE and Zpacks are easily at the top of the list for warmth comfort and weight. EE bags inches to the top, however – fantastic design a super compressible. I would like to see more attention being paid to cottage makers on this site as they have by far the best gear for what a lot of people on BPL are looking for.
I think many others will agree with me on the above. There is no hood, but that's where a light down/synthetic hat can serve a double purpose for hiking, camp and sleeping.

Jun 17, 2014 at 5:48 pm #2112273Hi Gary, Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been in MT for a week. I did check Enlightened Equipment, and Katabatic Gear too, and all I found was QUILTS. I didn't think it would be appropriate to compare mummy bags with quilts, so I kept the comparison to comparable products. Perhaps the hoodless bags should have been left out. Some of the bags are made by cottage industries. Will
Jun 20, 2014 at 9:44 pm #2113276I think keeping them in separate categories is important. People who know they like quilts will shop for quilts and those of us who know we want a bag/hood want to see them compared apples to apples.
