Perfect for a cod weather camping trip or an extended stay in the mountains, the Mountain Hardwear Lamina is a highly compressible, synthetic sleeping bag. With a temperature rating of down to -15F, the Mountain Hardwear Lamina will keep you warm just about anywhere you care to take it.

One note worthy feature on the Mountain Hardwear Lamina is its Comfort Footbox. The Comfort Footbox is shaped to allow your feet to rest in a more natural posistion than traditional mummy bags. The shape is also engineered to preserve loft and keep it closer to the feet. The end result is a super sauna for your little piggys.
