New women’s sleep gear at TNF

19/05/2008

The North Face has launched new sleeping bags for women. The company has redesigned the women’s versions of both the Cat’s Meow and the Blue Kazoo to offer better fit and to cater for temperature distinctions.

The women’s Cat’s Meow is a synthetic, compressible sleeping bag designed for three season winter mountaineering. Featuring an overlapping shingle construction for efficiency and filled with Climashield Prism synthetic insulation, the bag is lined with a silken interior for softness and breathability.  The zip column features a welded no-snag stiffener and provides a full-length draft protection tube. For temperature control, there is an adjustable, synthetic fill draft collar with a soft microfleece cord tunnel, as well as a welded, reinforced Velcro flap to keep in warmth even in temperatures of minus 7ºC.  The women’s bag has a narrower cut in the shoulders, is shorter in length and wider at the hips and offers increased insulation in the hood, handwarmer pocket and footbox.
