I know some will immediately dismiss my review simply because I bought this pack at WalMart. I’ve been attempting to drop weight for the past several years, mostly because my knees can’t handle it. My shelters have gotten lighter as have my sleeping system — next in line for a diet was my carry system. Funds, however, were non existent and my CFO (i.e. my wife) wouldn’t increase my discretionary fund.
This innovative model incorporates a truly full-length zipper that allows it to function as a hoodless mummy bag or an open quilt. When opened as a quilt, it offered plenty of ventilation for a warm summer night. Meanwhile, its 8.4 ounces of 950+ fill power goose down proved to be capable all the way down to its 40° F temperature rating. That makes this bag an ideal choice for thru-hikers or serious backpackers looking for a lightweight model that can handle a range of conditions. The Bishop Pass simply can’t match the performance of an ultra-premium sleeping bag.
Its generous dimensions and rectangular shape only enhance its comfort, ensuring a pleasant and spacious sleeping experience. Combine these dimensions with a wrap-around zipper, and you also get a bag that doubles as an excellent picnic blanket. The rugged materials make this bag heavy-duty enough to do it all without worries of rips, tears, or snagged zippers. At 35 liters, this pack ozark trail canopy is perfect for day trips or for hikers who don’t need to carry a lot of gear on the trails.
The Polara has synthetic insulation that simply isn’t as lush or comfy ozark trail canopy as many of the premium options on the market. And while the inner liner is warm and soft, the material is grabby compared to smoother, more well-considered materials. Lastly, this bag runs a bit small for the big and tall folks, so have a gander at the Big Agnes Echo Park 20 if you know you need more space to spread out.

Because it’s basically a single compartment stuff bag, I did have to make sure the items inside were distributed properly.
