The North Face Blue Kazoo Sleeping Bag - REVIEW

  • 2011-07-22 12:44:07
    The North Face Blue Kazoo Down sleeping bagThe North Face Blue Kazoo is a three season sleeping bag which has been a staple for the North Face for many year

    s, this year however they have improved it by reducing the overall weight by 8%, a full 3 oz or 89 grams. They achieved this by using Eastern European goose down and increasing the down fill from 600 to 650+. The down fill rating is a measure of loft or 'fluffiness' and is loosely related to the insulating value of the down. The higher the rating the more insulating air pockets and larger percentage of down clusters and larger cluster sizes and therefore more warm and toasty sleeping.


    With a price point in the mid $200's it's a bargain. Throw in the fact that it is super light, chock full of really well thought-out features, it’s as comfy as full body bunny slippers and well … you have a winner.
