Therm-a-Rest
Boost 20
Comfort is not ‘one size fits all’, which is why the Boost 650 empowers you to customize its shape to find your perfect balance of space and warmth.

But more space demands more body heat to warm it up and cold isn’t comfortable. That’s where WarmZip comes in. Zipping up the WarmZip center zipper transforms the shape of the Boost 650 from a semi-rectangular bag to a thermally efficient mummy bag. It pulls the 650-fill down around your body and reduces the amount of space your body needs to heat. WarmZip gives you the power to add up to 10F/6C to the Boost’s temperature rating.
