Patagonia Fitz Roy 30°

The Fitz Roy is a well-made, roomy, three-season down sleeping bag. Vertical baffles and a center zipper set this apart from many comparable bags. I particularly appreciated the quiet fabric, well-shaped hood and foot box, and dual baffles flanking that center zipper. True ultralighters may find this too bulky and heavy (short weighs 28 oz., regular 29 oz., long 30 oz.), but this is three-season bag should serve backpackers and car campers well. INTRODUCTION Patagonia is a relatively new participant… Full review

Sea to Summit Ascent 25

As a long-time camper and backpacker, I have used quite a few sleeping bags over the years, some of which I found less than ideal in comfort and performance. I am now primarily a canoe camper, who also sometimes camps in campgrounds in a pop-up trailer, and I think I have finally found the ideal sleeping bag! This Ascent 25 Sea to Summit bag is the most comfortable bag I have ever used; an Ultra-Dry Down bag, it packs compactly, is lightweight, has various ventilation options, and I have found it… Full review

Kelty Cosmic DriDown 20

The Kelty Cosmic 20 is one of the most affordable sleeping bags you can find that's filled with down insulation. Although it's not exceptional in any particular aspect, it provides decent comfort and warmth in a package that is small and light enough for some 3-season backpacking. Unfortunately, its 550-fill power down doesn't offer impressive loft or substantial benefits compared to synthetic insulation. Sliding into a fluffy sleeping bag after a long day of hiking is one of the most satisfying… Full review

Marmot Angel Fire

Solid and comfortable sleeping bag. Durable and also very comfortable inside. A great choice for those looking for a soft, comfortable sleeping bag. The extra little pockets inside the sleeping bag also ensure that your belongings do not get frozen or wet. If you are looking for a great and warm sleeping bag for women the Marmot Angel Fire is a very good option. This sleeping bag is ideal for trips where you need or want a little bit of extra comfort and cosiness. At 1.3kg, it is not the lightest… Full review

Sierra Designs Cloud 800/20 Degree

A uniquely designed zipper-less sleeping bag that boosts a much better sleeping experience yet needs to improve on some points. The Sierra Designs Cloud 20 is an innovative 800 FP Dri-Down filled sleeping bag that weighs around 800 g. It shifts from the conventional mummy shape by losing the zipper (that always get snagged) and having a comforter instead. I chose it for its design (had enough of snagged zippers), weight-to-warmth ratio, and its price point, being on the cheaper end of down sleeping… Full review

Sea to Summit Trek TK II

Good blend of performance, weight, and price. Spent WAY too much time searching for a sleeping bag that hit my top three "must haves" Lightweight Warm Not constricting Tried Big Agnes, North Face, a very attractive offering from Thermolite, REI's own brand, etc...  Finally decided on the Trek TKII after a test of the TK I version at my local REI.  It met my top three musts closely enough to earn a top rating. The Good: This is a semi-rectangular bag, not a mummy bag. That means is the shape is… Full review

Patagonia Hybrid Sleeping Bag

Did some winter cold camping last year in about 10 degrees above temps. It kept me toasty warm. The extra footbed warmth saved my toes and the two-way zipper was great when I needed to use my hands. It is extremely light and great for backpacking. Very packable and light. Love the hood on the bag, cinches down nice to keep the face warm. The two-way zipper is great for sitting up and being able to use your arms. I did some winter camping with it in about 10 above temps. The extra warmth in the footbed… Full review

Western Mountaineering VersaLite

The Western Mountaineering Versalite is just an overall great sleeping bag. While a bit on the pricey side, the Versalite is a well thought out sleeping bag design that is roomy, provides great warmth for its weight, and utilizes quality materials and construction. The Western Mountaineering Versalite is a great choice for anyone who has reached the point where they are looking to invest in a sleeping bag that will provide great performance in a very lightweight design. Overview I’ve owned a number… Full review
