The North Face Furnace 20 Review
As a car camping bag this is a fine choice but as a backpacking bag you should consider smaller lighter bags like the also affordable kelty cosmic 20.
The north face furnace 20 review. Its 20f manufacturer rating seems more reasonable. A lightweight roomy design for 3 season backpacking the north face furnace 20 sleeping bag is insulated with water resistant prodown which repels water and dries faster than traditional down. But i found the hood bulky and uncomfortable. The marmot phase 20 and rab mythic 400 for example are both filled with 14 1 ounces of much higher quality 850 fill power down but receive worse en temp ratings 19f and 21f respectively the furnace is still plenty warm for most 3 season uses but don t expect to stay toasty warm at its 14f en rating.
The verdict for general 3 season backcountry use the north face furnace 20 stands tall. Simply put the north face furnace 20 is a comfortable 3 season sleeping bag at a very reasonable price. It comes with a synthetic water resistant prodown insulation and it s very roomy. The north face furnace 20 comes with a low price tag.
It is not the lightest sleeping bag you can find and for some scenarios you may find it too bulky to backpack around with.
