Best Gift: Sierra Designs Big Dog 35

Why: It’s the hotness, plain and simple. The SD Big Dog 35 packs lots of features into a stylish bag for the young people in your life. The draft tube, HeatSync insulation, & ergonomic hood hold the heat in while the stuffed animal pocket and included pillow provide the peace of mind. The best part, however, is the stuff sack that is sewn to the bottom of the bag, so no one can lose it and even the youngest of campers can pack up their own bag!!! This line of bags also comes in a 20 degree version and a girls version known as the Dragonfly 35 or 20. This is the ‘best gift’ because I’m giving away four of them to my nieces and nephews!
