Hands down the most popular bag we've ever made, and for good reason. Compared to other mummy bags in the market, the Swallow is the ideal combination of light-weight warmth with room to sleep thanks to a more relaxed cut (more spacious than the Hummingbird, narrower than the Swift). The Swallow is the definition of an ideal all-around backcountry sleeper that can satisfy a wide range of three-season conditions.
Available in 20 Degree and 30 Degree options.
UL: Ultralight. Pertex® Endurance® 10 denier water-resistant/breathable fabric.

Very warm and comfortable
It’s been great so far, nice that it unzips almost fully to use as a blanket. Very warm and comfortable, I think water can get in through the seams so the wet feathers can smell a little funny but really a negligible point.
Impressive
The sleeping bag offers impressive warmth and is also very small to pack. This made it the ideal companion for me on a three-month bike tour in Norway. For me (height 1.89m/6.2, 80kg) it is almost too big, both in length and width. In any case, it offers a lot of space. There is one thing I didn't understand and I think it could be improved: Why is the lower part of the double zipper only operable from the inside? To regulate the temperature in the leg room, you first have to open the upper part, as it is otherwise impossible to reach the lower zipper from the inside.
The bag was purchased for my JMT hike August 1 so has not been slept in yet initial review has been outstanding high loft compression into stuff sack quality of sewing all things that I wanted for a top level down bag. I’ll let you know how it works after my hike
Georgia Appalachian Trail trip
I used my new Swallow 30 UL on the Georgia leg of the Appalachian Trail in early April, and it performed flawlessly. Nights in the low 40's to low 50's made for very comfortable sleeping. And weighting in at 1 lb 9 oz helped keep my pack wight under 25 lbs.
Everything seems to be great!
Definitely quality product! I'll be testing out in the field shortly, I'm sure it will perform well. My only criticism is that the stuff sack provided is too small to properly stow it. At home it's barely managable and seems impractical for field use.
