North Face Windy Pass Sleeping Bag

Discontinued Windy Pass bag. This bag is very similar to the Cat�s Meow with a waterproof Versatech shell and Polargaurd II insulation. It is my understanding that the use of Versatech was discontinued due to cost of the fabric.

I slept all one night between tarps in a steady rain. When I woke up, three feet of the bag was in the rain (sleeping on a slope) and there was no dampness in filter or inside.

Size according to my measurements is 84x31x19. Stuff size was advertised as 9x19, but the best I can do is 9 � x20. Weight is about xxx. I do not have the papers, and this is my best attempt to weigh on bathroom scales.

Bag is used but not abused. I do not believe it shows any wear. No spots or stains. I used it about 30 nights, of which 28 were on a cot in a tent. I have used it in an unheated tent at 15 degrees with no discomfort.

Stuff bag in pics is not included. I borrowed it to make pics.

Numerous reference posts of mine can be found on this forum. Additional can be furnished on request. Satisfaction guaranteed.

$80 shipped.

I found the Fission bag yesterday, which is the nearest to the Windy Pass I have found in the current bags offered by North Face. Major difference is the Windy Pass's waterproof (highly water resistant) Versatech shell and Polargaurd II insulation, make it heavier.
A link to the Fission is description is:

The Cat�s Meow model would still be a good comparison if the shell of that bag were water resistant.

Attempted to weight on home scales. Weight is about 3 lb 10 oz.

this is a 20 degree rated bag.

There is nothing wrong with the bag. I had to quit hunting due to worn body parts.
