I have been after a high loft sleeping bag for a long time. It was impossible to justify the high prices ($700+) charged by Macpac, kathmandu and Mont. I came across this deal and thought other people might be interested too.

Our original Karakoram bags became legends in the mountaineering realm. Our new high–tech reintroduction reclaims the title as the ultimate high–altitude sleeping bag. From the Karakoram to the North Cascades, this ultralight mummy handles the highest and coldest extremes.
As seen in Backpacker Magazine
"The bag leverages a time–tested design—the mix of vertical and horizontal baffles was inspired by parent company Eddie Bauer's classic 1950s mountaineering bags—that's been updated with the latest materials and construction techniques… Result? The Karakoram kept testers warm into the teens in New Hampshire, and one cold–sleeping tester rejoiced that she was warm enough to sleep without socks during subfreezing nights in the Tetons."

Haven't seen this type of sleeping bag before. A bit pricey but probably more comfort
