Without question our best selling bag (hey it gets cold in Alaska). Insulated with Polarguard 3D™ this bag will not last nearly as long as a down bag but if you will not spend a lot of nights sleeping in -40 F weather (perhaps a sign of intelligence) and are willing to carry a little more weight and bulk this may be a good choice. A favorite among Denali climbers unlikely to encounter such temperatures again (21 days of stuffing, unstuffing and sleeping in will take a lot of warmth out of this bag) as well as Alaskan hunters and hikers who may only use a -40 F bag a couple times a year.
