The North Face Blue Kazoo Sleeping Bag

By:  Lou Catalano

The North Face Blue Kazoo is a long sleeping bag (90").  This 600+ goose down bag is 3 season rated to 20˚F temps and is designed with toughness in mind.  The  down proof shell is made from Pertex® Resist ripstop material which is extremely abrasion resistant.  The silky lining is an exceptionally comfortable and breathable.  The ripple construction evenly distributes the goose down which keeps material shifting to a minimum. 

This sleeping bag, while quite affordable, includes some of the most desirables features.  The mountaineering community demands the most from their sleeping bags and that's what is offered by the Kazoo.  It has a head-level watch pocket, forehead comfort tube, a five chamber insulated hood and an external gear pocket.  The color coded one hand flat pull cords make hood adjustments easy and the full length draft tube has pack cloth-lined zipper columns.  There's also a shock cord built in for snug chest adjustments.  

It comes with a nylon mesh storage bag and a compression stuff sack.  The sleeping bag when in the stuff sack measures 8"x17" and it weighs 3lbs.2oz.  If you're a tall person and in the market for a warm sleeping bag, The Blue Kazoo might fit you to a 'T'.
