Thoughtful features, great value

These are brilliant! Lightweight and warm and very thoughtfully deigned. The little features really add up here: Two small loops at the top aren't going to snag, but oh so helpful when you want to hang the bag up to air out and fluff. A second set of loops protect the hooks on the Velcro tab at the top from collecting debris when the sleeping bag is open. Separating zippers let the bag open up completely flat for use as a quilt. Substantial overlap between the foot box zipper and the body zipper eliminate the risk of an air gap when zipped into a bag. No excess fabric around the zippers to get caught. Big loop on the top zipper is easy to find in the dark. Contrasting zippers also easy to find. Great warmth to weight ratio. The fabric is a bit slick but so lightweight and the foot box keeps it in place so it doesn't slip off at night. It would be nice if this was also offered with waterproofed down, but that would probably drive the price up and at present, it is a terrific value. After three months, am really pleased with this purchase for home and cabin use. Looking forward to taking it camping when the weather warms.

Pros
  • With an adjustable temperature rating of 32-50F, this sleeping bag is suitable for a variety of climates and conditions
Cons
  • The sleeping bag may not be suitable for those who toss and turn in their sleep.
