I bought this bag long with 800 fill down. This bag was to be used during a late december trip to mt. marcy in adirondack park. Unfortunately am not too sure of the overnight temperatures, but I am guessing that they were somewhere in the singles. I was warm, but unfortunately I cannot say that I was cozy. It is diffiicult to be cozy, however, when you are wet. I chose the Epic fabric and was extremely pleased with my decision. My bag reained dry throughout the entire trip, Although any condensation that formed inside the tent was turned to ice. I found the bag to be fairly roomy... no queen bed, but nontheless, cut well for my body (6 ft, 175lbs.) One of the greatest things about this bag is that it compresses into almost nothing. If you are concerned about space, this is the bag to get. This is definitely the best bag I have ever owned. I highly recommend both this bag and this company. Do follow the suggested temperature ratings. I am not sure how comfortable I would have been had the temperatures been too much colder. I will update this review with more uses. Comes with a stuff sack and a storage sack. r

Excellent service. You really feel that each bag is custom made. You have the choice of color, fabric, bag length, down fill rating, extra fill stuff, zipper side, zipper lenght... like building a c

I just got back from a 5 day backpack in Alaska with this bag, which I got with the EPIC shell. It lived up to expectations and then some. It the last 3 nights, the tent leaked a bit, but this shell did it's job, the water rolled off without any leftover dampness. I was the only one out of three tentmates who had a dry bag at the end of the trip, which I think says a lot. I also love how light and compressable this bag is, a major purchasing issue with me. Although this is not the cheapest bag around, it's not the most expensive either, and gives you a great bag for the money. Personally, if I bought another bag, I would get the EPIC shell again.

I got a PTFE long bag about 6 weeks ago after nearly freezing in 30 degree weather with my TNF Climber bag. It was definitely an investment, but definitely the best constructed bag I've ever seen. Lofts up extremely well, stuffs tightly, well designed collar and hood. After calling the factory on a Wednesday evening, they found a bag for me that evening in one of their stores and I was able to order it and have it arrive by Friday morning on the other end of the coast. Great people to work with, and an awesome product. It's only been used down to +15 so far, but I've been very comfortable to that level. Their PTFE shell is a wonderful fabric, appears to be more durable than Dryloft, and I've had no breathability problems with it whatsoever.

If you can find any way to justify the cost, Feathered Friends makes the best bag you can buy.

TNF Climber 3D (not dryloft) - A little over rated temperature wise, but a good synthetic bag that stuffs very well.

I also have a 1990 goretex Snowbunting which I used in winter hiking as low as 5 with my clothes on but I was too hot in over 40. It is also a little too snug for me to roll around.

I bought this bag, overstuffed with 800 fill down, and a dryloft outer about 6 months ago. I was a bit nervous to spend so much money on a sleeping bag, but I've been very happy. I've been winter camping in it and was too warm in a tent at just below freezing. I've also used it just below freezing without a tent and was plenty warm

I've only owned a Stephenson Warmlite. It lasted about 15 years before it needed replacement. I would have bought another, but I was looking for something simpler in design.

I purchased a Feathered Friends Snowbunting ten years ago. It was stuffed with 700 fill down (the best available at the time) and features a Gore-Tex (NOT DryLoft) shell. It has been a trusted friend on many trips including a NOLS Instructors course in 1993, a hundred mile trip on the Continental Divide trail and about 8 years of leading backpacking trips for a college outdoor program. It is as lofty as it was 10 years ago and I will have to say that although the Gore-tex shell makes stuffing the bag a bit harder, I have NEVER had a complaint about any lack of breathability. The new versions feature better integrated designs (for instance, the removable draft collar is easier to adjust and looks better)and their new PTFE Lite shells appear to be a better choice than DryLoft. It is a rather slim cut bag and might be uncomtortable for some people, but Feathered Friends makes a wide cut version of this bag (though not as light or efficient as the Snowbunting). I would still purchase this brand and model of bag again.

I thought that service was superb but this certainly may have changed over ten years.

I have owned a Feather Friends bag since 1972 that has been on a PCT thr-hike, half of the Divide trail, use every night for 3 years, and countless other trips ranging from overnight to a couple of months. It is still very serviceable and has maintained most of its loft. I finally retired it and purchased a Snow Bunting as my all around three season bag. Rated at 0 f. in the dryloft shell it is a reasonably roomy mummy for an average build. At 2lbs 10oz it is a joy to carry. Removable collar, loops for a vapor barrier liner, great zipper coverage, and attention to detail that other high cost manufacturers should adopt. I have particularly liked the tuck stitching on the baffles of Feathered Friends products. They are a little pricey but well worth every penny.

Customer Service

Super customer service. They will make a bag your specifications at a very reasonable cost. I had them put together a super warm winter bag for my wife - 5 feet 3 inches tall, 100lbs and always cold. The bag fits her perfectly, zips to mine, and is overstuffed with 12 inches of loft. With a dryloft shell the bag was $650 and my wife has been plenty warm in temperatures approaching -10 f. inside the tent. In fact the only thing that I haven't like about the bag is that it is almost impossible to get her out of it in the morning.
