Keep the cold and wet weather at bay! This 3-season backpacking bag uses high-lofting DriDown™ to keep you warm while repelling moisture that typically diminishes the efficiency of down.
Fill
600-fill duck down
Temperature Rating (F)
16 degrees (F)
- Regular down takes on water and is very difficult to dry; the DriDown proprietary process treats each individual duck down plume with a hydrophobic finish
- With the down now resistant to water, the insulation maintains its loft and stays dry 7 times longer than untreated down
- It also performs better in high humidity than regular down, and in case it accidentally gets wet, it will dry out faster, too
- Baffle construction with differential cut eliminates cold spots; inner layer is cut smaller than the outer layer to create consistent thickness of insulation
- Tough, 30-denier ripstop nylon shell provides durabilty; polyester lining breathes for comfort and feels great against skin
- Top baffle draft collar drapes comfortably over neck and shoulders, sealing out drafts
- Formfitting hood has drawcords of differing widths at head and neck for easy identification and adjustment in the dark
- Ground-level side seam keeps draft tube in place, further helping to prevent cold air from seeping through the 2-way, locking zipper
- Internal loops provide attachment for a liner (sold separately) to increase the warmth of the bag
- Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together, so you needn't worry about rolling onto the cold, hard ground (straps sold separately)
- Hang loops allow easy drying and storage
- Kelty Ignite DriDown 16°F sleeping bag comes with a stuff sack

Temperature ratings are intended as a guideline to help you compare products, rather than a guarantee of warmth, since many different factors contribute to your comfort while you sleep. Backpacking bags are typically rated for temperature according to an independent testing protocol—currently International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 23537, though some older items followed European Norm (EN) 13537. Testing is based on a person wearing one base layer and a pair of socks, sleeping on an insulated surface with a minimum R-value of 5.38.
Each bag then gets 2 ratings: the Comfort rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "cold sleeper" comfortable, and the Lower Limit rating is the lowest temperature at which the bag will keep the average "warm sleeper" comfortable. Some brands determine their own temperature rating by aligning to the Comfort rating for women’s bags, to the Lower Limit rating for men’s bags, or somewhere in the middle for nongendered bags.
