Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag: 20F Synthetic

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used the Cat’s Meow on everything from shoulder-season backpacking trips to alpine camping in the Rockies. It’s warm, durable, packs down small, and holds up to all kinds of weather. Synthetic fill means no stress if things get damp."

From crisp fall overnights to chilly alpine starts, the Cat’s Meow Sleeping Bag keeps us warm, dry, and stoked to stay out longer. The North Face designed this 20°F synthetic mummy bag to be as compressible as possible without sacrificing warmth, making it a versatile choice for multi-day trips and unpredictable conditions. With a fitted hood, draft collar, and trapezoidal baffle construction, it’s built to trap heat while shedding excess weight. The Cat’s Meow is engineered for efficiency, featuring a fully insulated footbox and a water-resistant shell that holds up in damp environments where down can falter. Thoughtful details like a compression stuff sack, shock cords to secure a sleeping pad, and a fleece-lined stuff sack that doubles as a pillow add to its trail-ready appeal. Whether we’re sleeping under the stars or in a backcountry shelter, this reliable synthetic bag always earns its spot in the pack.
