So one of the most important items in. Camping gear that you need is your. Sleeping bag absolutely let me tell you. What i know what it's like to be miserable without one what do we mean by that well let's take a look morning yes he slept for an hour today. Good morning kelsey i didn't pay more. Than two hours of sleep i think i didn't. Miss a little bit it's about 3 a.m. and. I'm, and she's what do you want me to do. Just we're gonna spoon. 20 minutes later i finally stop stirring, but she was chu shivering dude, so we were both like really rough night. For us it was pretty terrible first time. In yellowstone camping my first 70s gone camping and i was absolutely miserable so let me tell you what when. This sleeping bag came around the next year i was happy. Yeah i think it was a little bit different it was a entirely so these. Sleeping bags retail for about 100 to 180 and i know that may seem a little. Pricey for a sleeping bag but it is a hundred and twenty-seven percent worth it and I've had mine for going on three. Years now, and we use them a lot obviously they come in immense, and they. Come in a women's the men's i have a 35. They also have a 20 degree and the. Women's is a 35, and they also have a 20. Degree the men's the 20 degree comes in. A nice blue and i think it's like a great spy rubber quickly and the women's. Is more of what you say kind of look good turquoise like a darker blue yeah. It's like a darker blue also a gray. And obviously these are orange women's. Actually has a updated one called the. Women's north face cat's meow which is. Literally pretty much the newer version of the aleutian for the women's side the guy still does the men's solution i think the cat's meow sounds a little bit better to them than solution exactly. The same features as this sleeping bags different color just different color and a different this is all personal preference depending on what degree you want some people like higher degrees some people like lower i should like the higher degree because i get extremely hot really fast i personally like. Lower degree as in the 20 because i get. Cooled very easily so the 20 degree is perfect for me because i don't have to freeze yeah and the only difference pretty much is how thick it's gonna be alright guys, so we're gonna tell you a little bit about the different features of the sleeping bag so first feature is. These are mummy style sleeping bags what. Does that mean they do exactly that. That your head the whole purpose of it is to have as little exposure for air to come in to freeze you out, so we as well. Have these little things that actually tighten around your head yes right by your head if you tighten so it's nice. And close but this keeps it in a nice cocoon shape so you feel all good and snuggly this is a 30% down synthetic and. They call it the heat seeker eco. Synthetic pretty much what that means is it's gonna stay lightweight but it's gonna keep you warm all the sleeping bags have double zipper on each side one. Into one that's on the men's and women's but there is a difference there is a. Short zipper which is on the left side for me and then a long zipper which is on the right side for me and that's just your preference you can get the different zippers you get opposite basically the purpose of the zippers on both side is to give you that feel that you're at home in bed so basically you. Could zip it up all the way keep all the heat in or you could unzip it to about to this point where it goes about like right underneath there and then zip it on zip. It down on the other side and then you can fold it down so it kind of gives you that like you're under the covers kind of feel so that's the purpose of that and it's really nice to have just kind. Of feel like you can breathe a little bit more too but sometimes a little too snug absolutely depending on what season these are a three season sleeping bag. That is another feature these are not meant for deep winter you know like. Mount everest you're not gonna stay warm in those okay these are meant for spring summer fall you can pretty much get away with any trip that you go on we have done these in 10,000 feet in 20 degrees and stayed completely warm oh these zipper goes all the way around too almost. Basically the other side of the sleeping bag so what's great about the foot section is that it kinda has this square. Shape at the bottom so that it lays flat so you don't have like just yeah you. Don't have access room for it flop all over the place when you're sleeping it's gonna stay completely center so what's great is you can unzip it and give yourself so a little bit of breathing room for your feet and that is a great feature that's a great feature for summer camping when you still want to feel snugly but you kind of feel like. You're getting in a hotbox usually just pop the feet open and you're good other. Think you can zip it like we said all the way and just lay it flats and you can. Literally have it as a blanket we have done that multiple times so one of my. The Biggest dislikes for my bag is i know. Exactly it is so warm and that's not the. Dislike the dislike is because it's the. Lower temperature sleeping bag so the. 20-degree one it's thicker so it does. Not compact easy and that is the biggest. Think i do not like about this thinking value i have to stuff it stuffs. That it takes two people with mine yes and you've got it with one to start. Weight where i grow good on my own but it is that i mean i love this sleeping. Bag but i hate that part am i just like I'm just limited on how cold i can put. Myself back country situations so be it only. Being 35 degrees i do get warm a lot but i can only go so far before i get fruits for me just realizing that it is limited in that. Since that i can't push the boundaries all the way to really do some winter camping that that will really so if you're looking for some car camping or just some local camping i would totally recommend this big sleeping bag is great. For if you want to go to yellowstone and. You just stay at a campsite and you pull your car right up tetons she's done some. Backcountry with it just know because it's bigger it's gonna take up a little bit more room in your back yeah i would totally recommend this one for that but if you're looking for back country camping i would recommend a smaller one. But the problem is you're going deep. Into the mountain your argument just depends on the time of year like this you can get away with probably about sixty seventy percent of a year but if. You're getting into higher elevation it's gonna be cold 35 degrees they can cut it for you so you got to go to 20 thank you guys so much for checking out.

We're taking a closer look at the men's ratio and women's horatio 15 degree. Sleeping bags these are mummy style bags that are filled with 650 fill q shields. Down what's so important about q shield. Down is that each plume is coated with a water resistant finish so if these bags. You know are subject to rain or moisture. In any way they're going to hold up better than traditional down with. Traditional down you lose all your thermal efficiency if the sleeping bag. Becomes wet so these are going to dry. Our faster if they become wet they're going to stay drier longer, and they're ultimately going to keep you warmer in wet conditions the first thing that struck me about these sleeping bags is the baffle design so you have kind of diamond pattern as opposed to. Traditional sleeping bags that would have baffles that go horizontally across. The bag this is mountain hardwear's thermal trap design which basically has. The down and smaller chambers throughout. The bag so that you have a much more consistent warmth this is a traditional. Mummy style sleeping bag so you've got a hood and the bag tapers down into the. Feet just to keep that thermal efficiency with the bag going up to the. Hood you have a fully baffled really comfortable hood the fabric on the. Inside is really soft really comfortable and you've got a just single draw cord. Here so you can cinch down that hood on. Cold nights there's a velcro tab that. Just keeps the zipper there and if. You need to unzip the bag or want this tab to just be out of your way you can. Fold that back and a full length zipper. For a mummy sleeping bag now the zipper. Doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the foot box but to keep that thermal efficiency it goes almost all. The way down so full length zipper. Behind the zipper you have a nice draft. Tube and you also have. Um a more durable fabric behind the zipper that is an anti snag design so. I'm just going to really not worry about. Snagging your sleeping bag down at the. Bottom the zipper is a two-way zipper so. If you just need to vent the bag from the bottom or fencing the bag from the. Top and bottom you can have the zipper. Go both ways and the foot box is. Definitely a box design so they didn't. Just take the top and bottom of the sleeping bag and sew them together there's a really nice box better for a. Thermal efficiency and it's much more comfortable for your feet to have that. Sort of design there so that's a great feature as well the 650 fill down is. Really compressible so they include a. Stuff sack and also just a storage sack. Mesh storage sack so to store it at home. Just to show you how compressible that is as you can see i can even compress. That down to be a little bit smaller. Then the included stuff sack so if you. Purchase your own compression sack you. Can even get that down to be a little bit smaller but for a 15 degree sleeping. Bag this compresses down to be to. Be pretty small perfect for backpacking. With the compressible 650 fill down and. With mountain hardwear's q shield down you can be confident of a good night's sleep on your next backpacking adventure it's the men's ratio and women's hair. Ratio sleeping bags by mountain hardwear.

Hey it's jason back country comm we're down in southern utah testing out some new backpacking gear and right here i have mountain hardwear's phantom 15 down sleeping bag as a 15. Degree down bag the phantom is gonna be great for a lot of different uses whether you're doing a lot of camping in the shoulder seasons or high mountain camping in the summer and maybe a little bit of winter camping this is really gonna fit the bill the biggest standout feature the phantom 15 is mountain hardwear's q shield down treatment this. Technology is particularly cool because downs traditional disadvantage is that it doesn't retain heat when it's wet mountain hardwear has gone and gone through and treated every feather in this bag so you're not you're not making the shell of the bag waterproof you're making the insulation waterproof what that gives you is a down bag that will still retain heat even when it gets wet. Also mountain hardwear's included a just. A half zip and an athletic cut to just reduce on that bulk and keep it nice and lightweight like all of mountain hardwear's fully featured bags the phantom 15 features a draft collar and a zipper tube this is just gonna retain heat throughout the night so if you're. Aiming for a really lightweight compressible down bag that can handle wet environments the phantom 15 is gonna be the way to go got any further questions about this mountain hardwear bag or the rest of their lineup feel free to chat in or call into our gear heads of back country comm they'll answer any questions you have.
