Kahley,

I know nothing about Campmore Bags. However, I can tell you that my
North Face Slimline mummy still does a great job and I bought it 23
years ago. It smells to high heaven and it's lost a little loft, but I
use it for all my trips except in the winter. It was, I think, a 0
degree bag when I bought it, and now maybe it's a 30 to 35 degree bag
for me. I love the quality in it. I can't tell you about the quality of
the newer bags, but my old one sure has it. Good luck.
