• "For light-and-fast alpine climbing, our new Hybrid Sleeping Bag embodies a fundamental tenet of minimalism: It eliminates redundancies. Its 850-fill-power Traceable Down, encased in an ultralightweight Pertex® Quantum shell fabric, warms from the torso to the toes. Above, the bag continues with a single layer of whisper-light, windproof nylon fabric—1.2-oz 15-denier 100% nylon ripstop with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish— creating a heat-trapping cocoon when paired with your belay parka. The half-zip saves precious weight, and drawcords atop the insulated portion and at the hood help seal-in warmth, preserving your energy for the summit push.

    So about the weight of a heavier bivvy but insulated with down. Interesting.

  • I have an as yet unused full PHD bag so I won't be buying a half bag (yet).

    I do like the idea of a top bag with the addition of a NeoAir.
