Synthetic insulation like the TechLoft Silver used here retains its loft and insulating properties even if it gets damp, which is a major advantage in winter environments where moisture management is difficult. It is also generally easier to clean and maintain than down.

These baffles act as a seal to prevent warm air from escaping and cold air from seeping in through the zipper or neck area. They are essential features for maintaining the bag's -20 degree temperature rating throughout the night.
