I used it in conjuntion with the Kathmandu XT Bivy bag. Kathmandu-xt-1-person-bivy-bag
‘The Exped Waterbloc -6 Down sleeping bag is a fully seam-taped sleeping bag that can be used in harsh and humid conditions without a bivy bag. It features a highly-breathable water repelling and durable Pertex Quantum Pro fabiric shell, 800+ loft European goose down 90/10 insulation for warmth, a 3D hood, draft collar and antomical footbox to increase the efficiency of the insulation and the ability to couple with other Exped bags‘ — Exped
PROS
A waterproof outer shell. Full length zipper with Velcro flaps. And 3 D draft stopper on the zip and around the neckline.
Comes with its own waterproof airtight compression bag.
The Exped Waterbloc -6 passed the waterproof and sub-zero rating tests.
Very good draw strings around the neckline and hood. There is a small zip up pouch internally to keep important items i.e. travel documents, money, phone.
Coupled with a silk liner it kept me warm at night.
CONS
Other than the brand name, there are no other markings to tell me the model number or temperature rating etc.
Draw strings for the hood and the neck are on the same side and close together. Difficult to know which is which in the dark.
