Feathered Friends Swift

I purchased this Swift at the FF store across from REI about 1998. The Swift is light, compresses well, and holds up to a great deal of abuse. It has kept me comfortably warm down to its published temp range of 20° F with only a base layer inside a homemade liner. I definitely recommend it for PCT section hikers from Oregon North to Manning Park; as well as weekend or holiday treks where you may encounter wet/cold conditions. DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE This is a Swift, serial number 95448, 800 fill… Full review

Wilderness Experience Latok 1

Thirty-four years later the bag is in excellent shape. Now November 2018...Highly Recommended. So I bought this bag back in the early '80s when I lived in Minnesota as it was rated for -20 degrees I believe. Paid $220 for it new then from Midwest Mountaineering. Slept in my Chevy Van for awhile during -20 degree winter and this thing kept me comfortable.I'm not a climber or anything—just like good gear and to go camping occasionally. Decided to take this thing out of storage and air it out some. Full review

Sierra Designs Men's Backcountry Bed 700 / 20 Degree

Good 35+ degree bag without zippers. Do not recommend below 30 degrees without additional support. Great for side sleepers and folks that get out of the bag at night and hate struggling with zippers half-asleep. As a side sleeper using a CPAP, I've always struggled with sleeping bags. My "go-to" bag for 20-40 degree weather is either a Kelty Cosmic 20 or Cosmic 0 bag. They work, but the 20 is more like a 30-degree bag and the 0 is more like a 20-degree bag. When Sierra Designs released the zipperless… Full review

Kelty Men's Tuck 20

BEST sleeping bag for hiking I've ever owned. Personal comfort rating at 30-70 degrees F. I go over the dimensions and material in my video review which you can find here: First off, I love this sleeping bag. The coldest temp I've slept in this bag was around 25 degrees F, which was a bit cool but bearable. The warmest temp I've used this bag in was probably around 70-75 degrees F, which was still very comfortable due to the fact you can vent the feet side of the bag. However if you're sleeping… Full review

NEMO Punk 20

Child-sized comfortable and cozy bag with adjustable length to keep little ones from getting lost in the bottom. Partially hooded and made of soft materials for snuggling. Full featured and functional for backcountry use, definitely not a toy.

Sierra Designs Cloud 800 / 20 Degree

A bag with the magic of 800 fill DriDown for about $100 less than the other bags in the same weight category. Sierra Designs Cloud 20 800 fill down Regular: 1 lb 13 oz In the mountains you need your gear to be as light as possible and still able to do its job. Being light reduces fatigue and lets you move through hazard zones faster thereby reducing your exposure to risk. In short, light is right. Another philosophy is summarized by, “pack light, freeze at night,” the idea that comfort and good… Full review

L.L.Bean Ultralight Sleeping Bag, 0° Mummy

LL Bean's Ultralight 0 Degree Mummy Bag features Cross-Core technology, testing the boundaries of Aerogel and PrimaLoft Gold insulation. Theoretically, this design should increase the sleeping bag warmth-to-weight ratio. Finding the right sleeping bag can prove to be challenging. Features like sleeping bag loft, temperature rating, and weight can test even the most experienced backpackers. But LL Bean's 0 Degree Ultralight Sleeping Bag does a good job of implementing the outdoor industry's most… Full review

The North Face Hightail 3S 15

Perfect. A great find after lots of research. I did a lot of research on bags of this temperature rating that were under one kilo. This bag replaced a much heavier sleeping bag and it seems every bit as warm. I have not had it down to the rated 15 deg. F, but I believe with long johns and good insulation under it, it would be satisfactory for me at 15 deg. F.  (I am a warm sleeper, by the way). I have had lots of well made mummy bags and I find this one is a perfect fit for me. Others have been… Full review

The North Face Men's Blue Kazoo

High expectations, poor performance. Bought this North Face bag at a local REI. I used it for several years in a variety of settings, from indoor use to summer hiking, fall, even some winter hikes. My biggest complaint is its temp rating. My bag says it is a 15-degree rating. YES, I always stored it loose, never compressed. The bag was well taken care of. After several nights over several different outings I was sure to bring extra clothes to sleep in if I knew temps would drop below freezing. This… Full review
