Whether you're camping or hiking up to the high alpine The North Face Aleutian Bx Sleeping Bag is a great family-friendly design that offers a balance of practical adjustments and insulated comfort features. Comfort rated at 20F (-7C) the Aleutian Bx is just the right temperature for three-season backpacking trips although you may need to leave it unzipped while sleeping through warm summer nights. The side zipper opens all the way down to just above the footbox and there's also a full-length draft tube. The North Face used an overlapping shingle construction that effectively eliminates cold spots even if the fast-drying synthetic H.O.T. (that's Heatshield Optimal Technology) SL insulation slips around a bit over years of use. Along the hood and chest you'll find adjustable drawcords for cinching in the warmth although most summer campers prefer to keep things loose and breathable. The North Face also added an external zippered chest pocket on the Aleutian Bx that's sized perfectly for your watch and a small flashlight. If you like the features but you feel constrained by the close mummy fit check out The North Face Dolomite Bx Sleeping Bag--it has the same comfort rating with a roomy rectangular design.
