The North Face Aleutian Bx Sleeping Bag: 20-Degree Heatshield


Product Details

The North Face Aleutian Bx Sleeping Bag retains heat like youd expect a bag named for Alaskan volcanic islands would. The North Face used an overlapping shingle construction that, paired with Heatshield Optimal Technology SL (durable, lightweight synthetic insulation), helps you stay warm as lava in cold, damp weather. The North Face gave this 20-degree bags hood a zipper, so you can cover your face against a cold wind and vent when you get hot. The ergonomically designed footbox gives your feet some wiggle room, and an external shoulder-level pocket holds your thermometer so you can see exactly how cold the world is outside your toasty Aleutian Bx bag.

Price : $ 98.95

Three Season Sleeping Bags Checklist

Down vs. Synthetic. The age-old question. Down bags pack down tighter and are a few ounces lighter. On the negative side, they are useless when wet, often take forever to dry (and many can't be tossed into a dryer), and tend to be more expensive.
Heading Out in Wet Weather? Then get a synthetic sleeping bag...period. This way, if your bag gets wet, you won't have a useless sleeping bag for the rest of your trip.
Float Camping? Again...get a synthetic bag. Be a bummer to have your bag end up in the water and become useless for the rest of your float trip.
Where Ounces and Packability Matter. Then go with a goose down bag. This is especially true if you are a bike camper, climber or camp in the desert.

The Ruby River : The Ruby River has difficult access but excellent trout fishing in a "spring creek" environment.


Bowman Lake : Bowman Lake sits in a deep bowl surrounded by thick forests and towering mountains, and rivals other lakes in Glacier in terms of scenery. Bowman Lake also receives far less use, as it can be "less than pleasant" reaching the lake due to bumpy and dusty roads.


Logging Lake : Logging Lake is a relatively large, backcountry lake, located in the NW part of Glacier National Park. The hike to the lake is less than beautiful, but once on the shores of the lake itself, the hiker is rewarded with some fine views
