Western Mountaineering Iroquois

rated 5.0 of 5 stars

The Iroquois has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best warm weather down sleeping bags for 2024.

This is by far the most beautiful bag I've ever seen. The fact that it weighs a pound and a half makes it even nicer.

The bag is not baffled, but quilted to save more weight, which makes sense for summer backpacking. Everything about this bag is seriously incredible—construction, loft, weight, stuff size (smaller than a loaf of bread). If you gently squeeze one of the pockets between your hands you really feel the resistance of the high-quality down. When you lay it down and let it fully loft, each quilted pocket looks like its exploding with down yet it stuffs so small.

As you can probably tell by my review, this bag is a marvel. The hood is three-dimensionally sewn and looks awesome when you cinch it up all the way. The bag is toasty warm, too—the cut is very narrow which helps.

I bought the bag in the first place for Western Mountaineering's stellar reputation, its light weight, and Backpackers' glowing review. Except for the price (absolutely the only thing not perfect, but understandable), I can't see why everyone doesn't buy this bag.

Love it. I have used it down to 28 degrees wearing fleece inside, but it was a tad cool. Suggest 40 degrees minimum—I think that's its rating.

I use it as my summer Sierras bag and generally leave it unzipped and just pull it over me.

Did I say that I LOVE IT? And at 24 ounces and it compresses into a little ball. My down jacket weighs more than that!!!!!!!!!!

Love it... (;->)

The quality of this bag is outstanding. When the box first came by UPS, I thought it must be empty, it was so light. It packs down very, very small and it keeps me warm down to and probably below its 38 degree rating. This is the ultimate bag for people who like to pack ultralight, yet still have some comfort.

I would not trade this bag for anything!
