Sierra Designs Women's-Solar Flare 5-Degree 600 Fill Down Sleeping Bag Review

Just received the bag and am very happy with it.I bought it for my wife because we're going camping in Yosemite in the spring and it's going to be cold at night.I actually bought the Women's Large for her so that I could use it to when she doesn't go camping with myself and the boys.The bag is constructed very well and has plenty of loft.The shape seems to be more universal than women specific in my opinion.The women's large fits to 5'-11" and I'm 6'-0" and it fit me fine.The interior fabric is very soft for nylon and the outer shell can repel water quite well.I also own a Big Agnes Deep Creek weatherproof bag and the construction of the Sierra Designs is pretty comparable. My Big Agnes bag has 800 fill down while the Solar Flare has 600 Fill down both are good fill in my opinion, you really pay a premium for fill that is over 600. The Solar Flare hood is nice and the full length zipper works better than any bag I have.All of my bags are down filled because I prefer the pillowy loft and the compact size.The color of the Solar Flare is a deep purple with charcoal back.Construction on the bag is top notch and well detailed.This is the last bag she'll ever need.Buy right the first time and you won't need to buy again.

Product Description:
Never fear frosty nights again with the Solar Flare women's-specific three-season sleeping bag. Warm to 5 degrees F, the Solar Flare features 600-fill goose down insulation, a natural renewable insulation that provides a higher warmth-to-weight ratio than other materials. As a result, the bag is not only warm, but also extremely compressible and lightweight. To prevent the fill from getting wet, Sierra added a Drizone waterproof/breathable shell, which allows moisture to escape from the bag while keeping water and dew out. This is a crucial feature for goose down bags, which perform poorly when damp. And thanks to the continuous baffling, the down spreads evenly across your bag to eliminate cold spots. Other features include a draft collar, an ergonomic hood and foot box (the latter with microfleece lining), and tuck stitch construction. The Solar Flare is available in regular and long sizes.
About Women's-Specific Bags
Sierra Designs was the first company to recognize that sleeping bags should be designed differently for women. The average man is 6 feet tall, but the average woman is 5 feet 4 inches tall. In addition, both the body proportions and metabolic rates of men and women vary significantly. In response, Sierra sizes its women's bags smaller so that women are not carrying additional weight and don't have to heat up more air space in a larger bag. Sierra's women's sleeping bags are also designed with narrower shoulders, wider hips, and increased insulation in the torso and foot box. The company's first women's-specific bags, the Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, were released in 1995.
