Feathered Friends Snowbunting

This is an outstanding down sleeping bag that will last a long time. It has very high quality down, craftmanship and other materials. I've had my Snowbunting for about 25 years.  I believe it has lost a small amount of loft, but I still use it regularly.  Because the down can be moved from top to bottom and back, it is very versatile.  If you buy one, make sure you are OK with the interior capacity, because it is expensive and will last you decades - and you'll be stuck with it.  Some may find… Full review

MontBell U.L. Spiral Down Hugger #1

Tucking into this bag is akin to snuggling up to a cloud. The -15° rating is no lie, and it easily packs down smaller than a milk jug. This is a super lofty bag with nicely baffled zippers and entrance and a soft, brushed material that has held up to the few snags I've managed to put it through over the years. The stretch of the spiral baffles is a plus for us fetal sleepers, or even sitting cross legged. Everyone I've shared my tent with has been jealous of its obvious coziness and I can sleep… Full review

Big Agnes Lost Ranger 15°

This sleeping bag is light and versatile. It is useful in warm to cold weather. This bag has performed well over the last year. I am a Scout leader and use it every month. During the hot summer months I sleep mostly on top of it. Recently I took it on a week long trek in the mountains. With the DownTek down in it, it stayed warm when ground moisture got one side of it wet. The bag dried quickly draped on top of the tent. It is very compressible making more space for things like food in the pack. Full review

Sierra Designs Men's Backcountry Bed 800 3-Season

I'm a bigger guy, and never slept well in a sleeping bag...until I got the Backcountry Bed. I have two sons in the Boy Scouts and have spent my share of evenings in a tent/hammock. I'm a bigger guy, approx 5'10" and 240 lbs. I find most mummy bags constricting and have struggled to get a good night's sleep. That is, until I recently tried the Backcountry Bed by Sierra Designs. We were heading out on a 4-day, 42-mile hike and I was determined to find a quality bag that's comfortable...and boom, I… Full review

Patagonia Hybrid Sleeping Bag

The Patagonia Hybrid Sleeping Bag is an “elephant foot” style bag designed to minimize the weight a climber carries by insulating only the bottom half of the bag and relying on insulation already required (a jacket) to keep the torso warm. The combination of high lofting 850 fill traceable down, impressively constructed baffles/footbox and 1.2-oz 15-denier 100% nylon ripstop upper (the same fabric as their famous Houdini wind shell) makes for an incredibly packable and warm night's sleep. This… Full review

Kelty Cosmic 4

The Kelty Cosmic 4 is a great sleeping bag that's snug even on cold winter nights. It's puffy. It's comfortable at 19 degrees Fahrenheit and up. I'd recommend it if you want a warm cozy night. The Kelty Cosmic 4 is a very warm 4-degree bag that's comfortable at 19 degrees. It is 6 feet long, has lots of hood room, and plenty of foot room for me. So overall it is very comfortable. The bag is easy to get in and out of since it has a wide hood (as long as it is tightened). The bag doesn't let in moisture… Full review

Marmot Angel Fire

I've owned the Marmot Angel Fire bag since 2004/5(?) and it has been my primary bag. Excellent compression, durable exterior, no defects/issues for over 12 years with an average of 8+ trips a year. Pros: lightweight, small pack size. Cons: mummy style can be difficult to sleep comfortably in as a side sleeper, but this is user preference. The only reason I didn't repurchase this bag is that my personal dimensions have changed over the last couple of years and the mummy bag style just isn't as fitting… Full review

Sierra Designs Frontcountry Bed 600 SYN 2-Season

My go-to for any trip where weight isn't the largest concern. I've been a mummy bag user for decades but it was time for a change. I use this mostly on weekend trips, car camping, and disaster response. I've spent about 100 nights in this bag and there is virtually no wear at all. Most of these nights are on a Red Cross cot while deployed with Team Rubicon. Sleeping temp and comfort is extremely subjective, but I have found this comfortable without a base layer to about 40-45°. For reference I… Full review

Marmot Gopher

This bag will probably be too hot for mostly just weekend campers unless you are in colder temperatures. I worked in an outdoor store in N.J. (mid '90s) and this bag and several other Marmot bags were the top of the line and because of the price tag ($500+) they sat hanging up on the rack for a while. Finally because of a discount, and they wanted to put new models up, I bought the bag. I believe I paid $300 for it. It unpacks and really puffs up upon laying open.  I used it to go winter camping… Full review
