It sounds like it might be Greenlandic, which I suppose is appropriate given its temperature rating. It probably contains genuine Inuit Polarguard 3D, which is easily the best synthetic fill for sleeping bags. (Stay away from LiteLoft, or "LostLoft" as I call it.) I use a synthetic bag for paddling and a down bag for backpacking. Synthetics are much more expensive than high-quality down due to the fact that they are "disposable". They don't last very long. I have a down bag that is 20 years old and is as good as new.
