I bought this bag several years ago for lightweight canoe tripping in Canada during the summer. It weighs slightly over 2 lbs and has polyester fiberfill. It came from Sierra Trading Post and didn't cost much. I'm thinking around $79.00.

The bag is purple with a dark gray interior. It's a modified mummy.The only identifying marks are The North Face embroidered at the top and a tag on the foot that says "Regular" with generic care instructions.

I'm trying to find the model name and the recommended temperature rating.

Please don't tell me to take it outside and sleep in it this winter. Itmay come to that but I'm hoping someone here knows the design.

TIA.

Synthetic and slightly over 2lb sounds like a 40ºF bag to me.

Have you checked on the TNF website?

Yeah, the bag I have is no longer in production and is not listed on TNF site. AS I said I used the bag on Canadian far northern rivers for canoe trips. I assumed 40 degrees but it may be OK to 30 with a liner.

Thx for your input.

Use the Way Back Machine to search for old TNF catalogues - it may reveal something
