Lafuma Men's Warmn Li 800

A decent quality bag. Lightweight. Meets claimed temp rating (my opinion). Good price. Everyone is different when it comes to how much insulation they need at a certain temperature. I find this bag perfectly adequate at 40 degrees F. If you are a "cold sleeper" add some long johns and a jacket for the 40 degree rating. I found it durable and lightweight. I don't see other bags of this quality at this price. Good loft, zipper works fine, nice hood. Stuffs down to very small. Tends to shed water… Full review

Marmot Phase 30

Ultralight, warm, comfortable, tiny pack size, amazing value for money. Everything a sleeping bag should be! EN Rating Lower comfort limit: 30.0°F / -1°C EN Rating Extreme limit: 5.4°F / -14.8°C I am a ultralight "gram counter" when it comes to camping gear and I wasn't happy with my old sleeping bag, which weighed under 800 grams but only had a 8°C (47°F) comfort rating. Then I discovered the Marmot Phase 30, which was a lot warmer (-1°C / 30°F) comfort rating, but more importantly, was… Full review

Mountain Hardwear HyperLamina Torch 0

Super bag for winter camping!! Totally worth your money. If it’s not below freezing, you may be hot though! Packable, kind of, and big....but you can pack it. Not the best for ultra light backpacking, but if you are doing a weekend trip or a couple nights at a campground, it’s easy to use! Best use is camping in the back of your truck for some winter adventures! I took this bag out In February for some winter camping in the Eastern Sierras and this bag kept me super warm. One tip is to put some… Full review

Katabatic Gear Flex 22°F

Excellent quality and warmer than advertised quilt. A blanket style sleeping bag that will truly keep the cold out. The Katabatic attachment system, down filled collar, and draft blocking foot box closure guard you from the cold. When you need some ventilation, the zippered foot box allows you to completely open to a blanket. The options in between are endless, and create a truly flexible sleep system. After very long research on all kinds of quilts and sleeping bags I decided on the Katabatic Flex… Full review

Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated Mat

I used to have two Therm-a-Rest self inflating mats (1980) and was never happy. This StS insulated mat is a lot better on warmth and comfort 10-fold. With my Katabatic Flex 22 top quilt I'll sleep like a king. Very happy with it. Although length is sufficient, I wish there was an option for a little bit more width. Full review

Kelty Men's Cosmic 20

Massive bang for the buck... Four and a half stars, so far. I bought this bag a short while ago before leaving for my job as a medic in a summer camp in Maine. That being said, the mercury has hit between 90 and 101 everyday for about a week, so this bag with a European temperature rating of 19 degrees has not seen much use except as a bed throw. Even during early chilly nights I mostly used it as a blanket. By today's standards, 600 fill duck down is not the greatest, but back in the day, any down… Full review

The North Face Men's Dolomite

This is a modern rectangular sleeping bag, with the feel of high tech, but reminds me of sleeping bags I used when I was a kid. I love it—very warm! When I’m too hot I open it up and use it as a blanket. I also like the neat quarter bag zip on the opposite side; I never feel confined in it. This will certainly be my only sleeping bag for three seasons. I spent a week on a canoe camping trip with this sleeping bag. It is very comfortable—I slept like a baby. It also filled me with nostalgia… Full review

Exped DownMat 9

Super comfortable and warm. Not fun to pump without Schnozzle. This is one heck of a nice mat. I sleep better while using it than I do in our bed at home. Really! I'm not sure what it is, but it is extremely comfortable. The package weight and packed sized are not really all that different from my ultralightweight Therm-a-Rest CampLite, but the sleeping experience is worlds apart. I am a naturally frugal person. Some call me cheap. Extremely cheap. I was lucky to find this at a flea market,… Full review

NEMO Tensor Insulated 20

Excellent weight, excellent R-value, excellent thickness, but noisy and not very comfortable in some positions For two years I had the Sea to Summit Insulated comfort pad and loved it except that I continually had issues with it losing air overnight with two different pads. So I decided to try out this Nemo Tensor Insulated 20 pad. I've only had it a few months and honestly I don't think I'll keep it. I want to love it, but my gut feeling doesn't. I want to love it for these reasons. The weight… Full review
