In my opinion - the best of semi-rectangular bags.
Written on Jan 30, 2016
It’s girth (size L): 175 (shoulder)-155(hips)-122(feet) - same as the WM-Cypress-minus30F; which makes both roomiest of the class. I’d highly recommend it for larger folks and/or for those who spends much time in a sleeping bag. Sufficiently, it is on the heavier side - not for situations where weight is the biggest issue. The fabric is MicroFiber which makes it not as durable as Partex or even Gore Windstopper.

Most comfortable and versatile in it’s category

At first - as always, a reliable service from the CampSaver.
Now - the Cypress:
- Can be opened up to make a quilt. The storm flap for external zipper protection, side block Baffle, dual Zippers allow bag to open completely around the foot and lay flat
(which adds to versatility dramatically), and the stiffening tape along zippers to prevent snags (thus, tearing the inner fabric by the zipper’ teeth), are significantly better than in my other bags (including that of my another favorite, the FeatheredFriends-Penguin-10).
I’m adding my own review of the Rab-1200 on Amazon to compare:
"Pros:
- Amazing work kraft
- HP down
- Cute
- Very durable (Pertex Endurance outer; especially robust drawcords).
Cons:
- Sizing. A tightest bag I ever had - shoulders-hips-feet: 160-126-90cm. No wonder it is more narrow than my semi-rectangular Western Mountaineering Cypress GWS (175-155-122, in the same -30F temperature rating). But - other bags for even lower temperatures are much roomier: say, Mountain Hardwear Ghost -40, L, is: 157-147-101cm; even the Feathered-Friends-Snowy-Owl -60F is 162-152-99cm (but 500g heavier than the Rab). So, Rab is for the circumstances where weight-saving is vital to survive.
- Worms. Most winter sleeping bag temperature ratings assume that you are wearing long underwear including socks, sleeping on a sleeping pad or pads with a high combined R-value, and you are in a tent or bivy sack. Only way I can explain the Rab -30F rating is: with all expe

Review for
Black Diamond Hooped Bivy
As I was suggested to fill this form shortly after delivery, it can't be based on experience. I gave it **** because, as far as I know, the seams are not sealed - and I don't understand, why.
