    Backside sleeping bags

    I just bought a used Backside down sleeping bag at IME in North Conway. The labels have been removed and I'm not sure of the rating. The bag is blue with a black bottom. Anyone have any knowledge of these bags? Thanks

    Can't help you.

    I usually get a sleeping bag that covers my whole body, not just my backside.

    I don't have any knowledge of the bag you mention, but I do have an all green down bag from Backside. Mine is rated for 0*.

    The only down bag on the backside site that is blue with a black bottom is the Blue Ice, rated to minus 50 degrees. Weigh your bag (make sure it's good and dry). If it weighs around six pounds, that's it. Otherwise, they may have made different colors in years past. Good luck!

    Spend a night out when it's -30F and your head will adjust quickly!
