From the high alpine of the Absaroka Range to the meandering paths of New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, the Marmot Women’s Xenon 15 Degree Down Sleeping Bag is designed to maximize warmth without weighing you down. Fashioned with a women-specific composition, the Xenon is equipped with additional insulation in strategic areas (ones where women most frequently lose heat) and sports a 15-degree rating that makes it ideal for early spring wanders through Moab or a late fall trip to Acadia National Park.
Constructed with a lightweight Pertex material, the Xenon features 800-fill down insulation that assures furnace-like warmth when temperatures dip below comfortably cool. Marmot utilized curved baffles to prevent the insulation from shifting around as you sleep. Additionally, the bag is outfitted with a Down Defender treatment, which provides extra protection from light moisture. And thanks to the anatomically-correct footbed and nautilus-inspired hood and draft tube, the Xenon is able to maximize thermal efficiency. Should things start to heat up a little bit, the two-way side zippers allow easy-peasy ventilation. The bag comes fully furnished with an internal stash pocket, drawcord for the hood, and hang loops. And, stuff and storage sacks are included, which makes taking care of your bag far easier than that time you decided to adopt a hamster and it promptly went missing.
If you were some kind of woodland wizard, then all you would need to do is play a little tune on your magical flute to make a cozy little cabin in the woods appear, complete with a goose down bed, roaring fire, and turkish delight. But, as much as we hate to break this to you, you’re not a wizard, so you’re much better off settling with The North Face Women’s Green Kazoo 5 Degree Down Sleeping Bag, because you can toot on that flute all you want, but that cabin ain’t coming.
The Green Kazoo isn’t without it’s charms, though. For starters, The North Face gave it a heat-efficient mummy shape and packed it full of its Hydrophobic ProDown insulation to deliver reliable performance, even if you do encounter a bit of moisture during your adventures. Its 5-degree temperature rating is ideal for shoulder season backpacking trips and mid-summer mountaineering endeavors, and it makes the bag a welcome companion when you’re sleeping in the back of your car up on Snoqualmie pass when you know the powder is going to prime first thing in the morning. The North Face even threw in sleeping pad loops to keep your pad planted beneath you, and it included a stuff sack and storage sack, so you can keep the Kazoo nice and lofty when it’s not in use.

The Marmot Women’s Trestles 15 Sleeping Bag offers superb value with its toasty warmth and comfort-oriented shape. Its affordable price point sure doesn’t hurt either, leaving plenty of extra loot for far-flung trips into the mountains. SpiraFil LT insulation traps thermal warmth with its high-loft synthetic fibers, ensuring you’re sleeping soundly when the mercury plunges on crisp, clear evenings. Newly improved over previous versions, the anatomical, 3D-shaped footbox improves warmth and roominess for your feet.
Although it’s rated to 15 degrees, the Women’s Trestle 15 is actually a bit warmer than the men’s-specific version, as backed by its EN Comfort rating of 16 degrees (versus the men’s version with an EN Comfort rating of 27 degrees). Marmot does this because female campers usually sleep colder than their male counterparts, so a bit of extra insulation does wonders to boost overnight comfort in cold weather. On those especially frigid evenings, the adjustable collar and hood lock in precious body heat from escaping. There’s also a second fold-down zipper, should you feel overly warm on mild summer nights.
Cuddling up inside Marmot’s Angel Fire 25-Degree Down Women’s Sleeping Bag is a lot like bedding down with a flock of ducks, except totally different. While its 650-fill down insulation keeps you as warm as a wintertime mallard and the Down Defender treatment helps maintain loft in soggy conditions, the rest of the Angel Fire is as un-ducklike as it’s possible to be.
The wrap-around footbox and Nautilus multi-baffle hood, for example, provide killer warmth in vital places, while the snagless draft tube and ground-level side seams prevent your warmth from seeping out through the zipper or into the air. Marmot also integrated an internal stash pocket for a headlamp or midnight snack, so you can enjoy easy illumination and fuel up when you wake up in the middle of the night.
The Women’s NeoAir XLite Sleeping Pad is Therm-a-Rest’s lightest pad yet for ultralight backpacking, and it’s still comfy for camping. Women-specific ThermaCapture insulation uses a reflective layer to mirror your body heat back to you, and the Triangular Core Matrix enhances warmth and repels cold for cozy nights. The NeoAir XLite also features stable horizontal baffling, an easy-to-inflate air valve, and an included stuff sack and repair kit.
We’re gonna take a look at therm-a-rest neoair excellent pad this is the women’s. Specific version weighs in at 12 ounces this is gonna be perfect for anyone that’s looking to go fast and light especially those of you out there they’re considering doing a thru-hike you’ll want to take a look at this pad a two and a half inches thick this pads gonna offer a great night sleep and it. Does have an r-value that allows it to use for three seasons part of that is due to a reflective barrier that’s built inside the pad that’s reflecting your body heat back up to you instead of having the ground leach it out of you and in the women’s specific model there is a double barrier so compared to the basic x-lite which only has a single barrier the women’s version has two since women typically sleep colder the. Newer x-lite is an inflatable sleeping pad so you will need to blow it up by mouth on the other hand this allows the. Pad to be packed up very tight and small and you’ll notice the minimal design where a thermal arrest has trimmed off the corners at the feet and the head. Doesn’t require as many breasts to blow. This style of pad up for that reason it also is in keeping with that minimalist design concept there’re a women’s specific model this pad fits someone up to five feet five inches long if you’re a woman and you’re taller than that like me you’ll have to go with the basic neoair x-lite which does fit up to six feet this pad does come with a stuff. Sack it packs up to about nine inches by four inches so easily fit in a pack and therm rest does include a repair kit. Should you run into any problems in the field and which you might need to patch or repair the pad you’ve got the things you need there to do it.
Hi this is becca I’m tyler they were. Ripped off for two so today we’re going to talk about our therm-a-rest neoair x-lite sleeping pads so this is actually. A pretty fairly recent purchase that. We’ve had for the upcoming backpacking season, so we have not used this yet in our backpacking adventures but in the. Past we’ve gone with various inflatable. Pads but we’ve had a mummy style sleeping bag and more recently we’ve. Switched over to quilts and so for that. Reason that god is kind of thinking about other options for sleeping pads, and so we came across this therm-a-rest. Neo air x-lite and obviously there are pros and cons to it, so we’ll go ahead and blow these up so you can see it, and then we’ll talk about what some of those are. All right so we’ll go ahead and talk. About each of these we each chose to get. A different version mine is the short version it’s lighter it’s the lightest. Of them but i typically bring a sip pad. Along with me also it’s using my wrap which is this little neo eric pad so. I’ll typically um you know use a 3/4. Length pad and then use my pad for my wrapped down at my foot end to have that. Support there so i thought if i have. This already it may as well make use of it and i got the shorter length pad so. This is a total of 8 ounces for this. Short pad and it has an r-value of 3.2. And so you know that obviously is a. Benefit to when using quilts you don’t. Have anything under you we thought you know getting warmer pads beneath us would help out a lot and i chose to go with the women’s pad. It’s lighter than the regular men’s pad. It’s one ounce lighter so it’s 11 ounces and the regular men’s pad comes in. To 12 ounces they also have an r value of 3.9 so it’s really warm and I’m a. Cold sleeper so i really like that factor about it and a couple things that. I don’t like is this actually takes a really long time to blow up unless you have some kind of inflation device which. I think there were ourselves but it wasn’t worth it to us um also the thing. That i don’t like it but it’s really creepily so every time you move you’re making lots of noise and supposedly. That’s supposed to go away over time, but we haven’t seen that go away yet so those are my cons but overall i. Really like this pad it’s really comfortable it has four inches of. Inflation so it brings you pretty high. Up off the ground and like i said it was really warm so yeah so just to kind of compare the women’s is a little bit. Shorter than the regular length men’s cut also so that was one reason and the. One thing one difference between the women’s and the men’s regular is that the women’s pad is a little bit wider but it is shorter and overall it is slightly. Less heavy but I’m just looking at it. Here this short version one even then. The women’s version is quite a bit shorter so it no really just depends. What they have they also have they have. A small the regular and then a long size and then obviously the women’s specific one which becca said has the higher. R-value because women tend to sleep a. Little bit colder, but we’re very excited for these, so we think it’s going to be a good addition to our sleep system especially using quilts having that higher r-value. You.
Hey without their gear to eat and today. I have the women’s Cerberus neoair x light the neoair x light is very. Comfortable lightweight compact able sleeping pad let’s talk about the features, and then we’ll go into how it performed this pad is an updated version. Of the old neo air and it weighs about 15% lighter than the original it weighs. In around 12 ounces which is really good it might not be the lightest sleeping pad on the market but it’s definitely comfortable and warm and that’s a pretty good trade off the top and the bottom fabric is 30 deep high tenacity nylon and the warmth comes from a reflective. Layer inside the bag that recycles body heat and creates dual air pockets that. Conserve warmth it’s extremely pack able and as you can see it packs down to the size of the water bottle it’s about two and a half inches thick and 20 inches wide the sleeping pad comes with a stuff. Sack and a repair kit and it cost around 159 and is made in the usa so let me. Start by saying that this is definitely one of the most comfortable sleeping pads I’ve ever slept on that being said. There are a few minor issues if you’re next if your tent mate is a light. Sleeper you might wake them up because this is a pretty crinkly sleeping pad however it doesn’t affect me sleeping on. It then the other issue is that it’s a. Little bit short and narrow i think they did that to cut back on weight however if you’re 5 6 and under this is a great. Sized sleeping pad if you’re 5 7 like me it’s a little bit short which i didn’t even notice the first time i slept on it because i usually curl up on my side and. With that being said the 2 and a half. Inches thickness here really helps side sleepers because your shoulders and your. Hips don’t hit the ground it is a little. But narrow when you’re sleeping on your side hasn’t been an issue for me I’d kind of the warmth and the comfort is a nice trade-off lastly I’m really pretty impressed at. How warm this sleeps it’s a three-season sleeping pad they do have the x theorem which is for season if you sleep warm there’s a good possibility you could use this for all four seasons last night it dropped down to low teens. And i was still pretty chilly but between the you know the thickness that. Kept me off the sleeping the ground and just you know the reflective layers they. Have in here i slept pretty warm considering how cold i am oiz and so i. Definitely recommend this sleeping pad you’re just looking for a really lightweight comfortable sleeping pad like i said this is the therm-a-rest neoair x light check it out this is. Whitney with outdoor gear tv gets tube gear and get outside.
Catering to ounce counting backpackers. And thru-hikers the therm-a-rest neoair. X-lite sleep system combine some of. Therm-a-rest most lightweight most pack able components including the neo. Air x light inflatable sleeping pad the. Alpine down blanket a fastened light. Snap kit to connect the two together and. An ultra light pillow case in which you can stuff hats layers other clothes to. Make a nice comfortable headrest the foundation for the neo air x light sleep system is of course the neo air x light. Pad this is an inflatable pad very. Compact very lightweight 12 ounces total. Wait for what is the regular length of the pad that we’re looking at here 20 by 72 3.2 r-value takes up very. Little space inside your pack it’s. Coupled with the alpine down blanket. Alpine down blanket has a 35 degree. Temperature rating on it you can see. That what it stuffs down to total weight. For the blanket is pound and a half for. The pad itself is only twelve ounces so. You’re just over two pounds for the entire sleep system definitely a weight. That’s going to appeal to most in order to get the best performance out of the sleep system it’s important that the alpine blanket actually attached to the. Neo air xy pad thermos makes it easy by. Including these adhesive strips you see here fast and light mattress snap kit each of these has a different attachment. Point that matches to the male or female. Snap located here on the outside edges. Of the alpine down blanket I’ve already. Attached these obviously I’ll attach the other side here you’ll notice there’s. Baffling here on the inside of the down. Blanket that increases warmth by being tucked there on the other side and maximizes thermal efficiency of the sleep system. Final step then in assembling the sleep. System is making sure that you’ve brought that elastic cuff around the. Bottom of the path so — everything’s securely in place we’ve shown the snaps. Here in use but we’d put these on. Beforehand these come loosely package by. Therm-a-rest you’ll need to put them on the pad yourself by pulling up these strips to show the adhesive definitely. Advise to do that before you’ve inflated the pad so this is a flat surface and therm rest advise is give it about 24. Hours for these to set up to ensure that they’re in place and going to stay in. Place and be where you need them when you’re out in the back country. You.
The Mountain Hardwear Women’s Laminina Z Torch 0 Degree Synthetic Sleeping Bag delivers women-specific warmth for winter camping in a synthetic package with lightweight compressibility that rivals the performance of down. Lamina welded construction anchors continuous insulation to a seamless, water-resistant shell fabric, and it allows the insulation to be selectively zoned to maximize warmth where you need it most while reducing weight and bulk in other areas. The result is a bag that insulates more efficiently while saving weight and packing down smaller. This women’s model also packs more insulation than men’s bags since women have been proven to sleep at colder temperatures than their male counterparts.
Lamina Revamp Ripstop fabric offers lightweight durability and water-resistance. Thermal.Q insulation is highly compressible and maintains excellent loft, which, when combined with Lamina construction, rivals the performance of down. And unlike down, Thermal.Q will continue to insulate even if it gets wet. A slight wider mummy cut allows you wear layers to bed when it’s truly frigid outside. The comfort footbox lets your feet rest in a natural position, and the full-length zipper sports double sliders for adjustable ventilation. If you’re planning on camping when snow blankets the ground, make sure you have the Lamina Z Blaze on your side.
Hey everyone this is david woman and today I’m going to do a review of this mountain hardwear torch lamina z. Sleeping bag and it’s a five-degree bag. And it’s about 70 up so I’m a little. Warm right now mo toasty a little ready. To get out Oh. All right so in case you missed it this. Is the mountain hardwear torch lam ZEE which is the men’s version of their five. Degree Fahrenheit sleeping bag overall i want to say i really like this bag and i would keep it. Except for one factor which I’ll talk about later and but it’s been I’ve had. It for almost a year now it’s been across the u.s. with me japan in snow storms it’s been in summer. It’s been in a living room lots of aluminum and i can fairly accurately. Attest that it’s a great sleeping bag i put it through the wringer for sure I’m going to start with a few things that i do like about it first of. All i do like the brand mountain hardwear and i do like the color. Important i do also like one thing i liked about. It is the welded pam construction now if. You know anything about baffle construction in these kind of products is anywhere that is if you don’t well. Depending on the kind of construction typically if it’s sewn then you’re going to have this spot where the two fabrics meet together for the zone and it’s a spot where he can easily escape. Because there’s very few barriers by doing the welded you end up having loft all the way through the bag which is really nice less heat escapes that way i. Do like the zippers have been very good it’s a large ykk zipper. And the air guard on the zipper does. Occasionally get stuck but I’m not going to call it a complaint because it’s pretty minor it’s got one strap that. Goes from the outside and then swings towards the inside so you can access it. From either side it is a double zipper so if you tend to get hot feet at night. You can unzip this and stick your feet out the bottom or for airing it out or. However you want to use that and it is a. Double zipper the velcro around the neck. I haven’t had any issues with some people typically complain about that on. Sleeping bags that use velcro i haven’t had an issue with that granted i don’t use it a ton typically i just zip it up. But i haven’t issues with it some things i don’t really like about this pag and take this. With a grain of salt because they’re not huge issues to me like i said i have the. Only reason I’m not going to keep it is for one reason and it’s not one of these so i don’t really like the fit of it now. That’s something that i should have looked into more when i got this bag and it’s something that i just didn’t know at the time or thing to consider but just because something is a mummy bag does not mean it’s going to fit you exactly the same every manufacturer has. A different fit and sizing chart and this bag in particular is quite broad. And has a lots of space in it which is great if you want to move around and twist a lot but for me I’m typically. Looking for something that is compressible small and holds in my. Warmth really well so i need to look more carefully next time at a bag fits me really well this one just has a lot. Of space around the shoulders and even the head when we cinch it up I’ve still got a bunch of dead air space next to my head and it’s just unnecessary energy. Being wasted and heat being wasted so. That’s that’s my fault not necessarily the bags thing just something to know it seems to be a little bit wider than other bags to things that don’t really like about this bag the drawstring the. Drawstring is difficult in my opinion it. Is a elastic shock cord which isn’t. Necessarily a bad thing but the actual mechanism itself is a very stiff spring which is hard to open especially when. You’re tired but also i think more. Importantly i don’t like the angle of it some bags put it on the inside so that. You can easily access it but if you’re all zipped up they’re nice and cozy and snuggly for the night it’s really. Difficult to kind of reach out through the neck and tighten things it’s just. It’s just difficult and it’s stiff i don’t know I’m not a big fan of the draw cord i wish it was on the inside and i wish it was a little easier to adjust that’s just me also they have this. Zipper on the outside a very small. Little pouch good for like a cell phone. I use it for well use it i would use it. For a camera or like camera batteries. Sorry not a full camera a camera batteries or by phone to keep it warm at. Night so that the batteries don’t end up going kaput well that would be great except that. They put it on the outside of the bag on the outside of the insulation which means your body heat doesn’t keep it warm and there’s nothing from the outside keeping it warm so basically anything you put in this bag is going to. Be freezing by morning and so that doesn’t do me any good for me personally i would prefer it was on me inside then. It might have some use that’s pretty. Much it oh the one thing dun-dun-dun the one. Reason I’m not going to keep this bag for too much longer is compressibility and that’s not necessarily the bags fault it’s just because of what i do a lot of backpacking and hiking and i. Need something more compressible because this guy even at its smallest point with. Me sitting on it and squeezing the life. Out of it doesn’t really fit into my 70 liter backpack very well and so it’s. Just not a good fit for me if you’re. Doing a lot of car camping this may still be a great bag and I’d recommend it but if your goal is ultra light and small i would not recommend this bag all. Things considering i suppose that being. A synthetic 5 degree bags it compresses. Pretty well but i know it’s a little big. For me it does come with its own compression sack which is great and its own storage bag closet storage bag the. Compression sack i will say is well fitted to the bag i do like that is if. You buy another one you’re actually not going to get it any smaller they pretty much made the compression sack to be at. Its smallest point which i do like a lot so a well-fitted compression sack and a. Nice storage bag those come with it i do like that i do like the bag i would. Recommend someone else i won’t be keeping it for much longer because I’m going to get a nice down one and that. Will compress a little bit more and be better suited for my adventures but. Overall this is a great bag you can find. More info about it on mountain hardwear’s website or like rei website as far as actual weight and. Fill weight and it is a synthetic now. Down i don’t know if i mentioned that and it’s a good bag it’s a good bag i. Would definitely recommend us if you guys have questions feel free as always. To drop a comment below i typically respond to those within a couple days and sometimes even post a follow-up video if i feel the need and so please. Do that and subscribe for more reviews and adventure vlogs that will be coming and photo shoot stuffs and etc yada. Yada and now I’m rambling so until next. Time has a good one get outside and. I’ll see you then.

You have a lot of camping trips on your checklist, featuring destinations as diverse as Southern California and South Dakota. Sleep comfortably no matter where you’re laying your head down for the night with the Kelty Women’s Tru.Comfort 20 Sleeping Bag. Ideal for car camping trips and cross-country epics, it features an innovative Tru.Comfort design that lets you customize your level of warmth and a synthetic insulation that can withstand the soggiest environments.
Tru.Comfort features a built-in insulated blanket underneath the main flap, so you can open up the main portion of the sleeping bag on warmer nights without completely exposing yourself to the cold or chilly drafts. When nights fall on the colder side of the spectrum, cozy up under both layers and cinch down the adjustable hood for maximum warmth. Giving you even more control is the Comfort-Tuck zipper system, which lets you unzip the bottom of the bag so you can stick your feet out for cooling relief, while still remaining comfortably tucked into the bag. And since the ThermaPro insulation offers excellent compressibility, it’s easy to keep this bag stashed and ready to go in your camping kit at all times.
Redefining what a premium high-end sleeping bag is capable of, the Nemo Women’s Azura 20 Sleeping Bag is an ultralight backpacking mummy bag that uses a revolutionary FeatherCore construction to offer exceptional compressibility without sacrificing warmth. This groundbreaking design allows the bag to pack down 40% smaller, providing all the benefits of synthetic insulation at roughly the same pack-size as down. This unique construction technique pairs with the thermally-efficient shape and toasty Primaloft Silver insulation to keep you sawing logs in warm comfort through temps as low as 20-degrees. Thermo Gills help you vent excess body heat without letting cold drafts in when you get a little bit hotter than anticipated, while the generous apparel-like hood brings you even more heat retention.
From snowy mountain escapes to freezing spring nights in the desert, the Mountain Hardwear Rook 0 Degree Down Sleeping bag delivers lightweight warmth in an incredibly stowable package. Filled with a generous serving of down insulation, it offers lofty heat-trapping performance that’s light enough for lengthy backpacking trips, and comes with a compression stuff sack to help you fit more into your pack. Even in the depths of winter the efficient mummy shape works hard to keep you comfortable, and the women’s version features added insulation specifically designed for smaller bodies. Mountain Hardwear equipped it with a down-filled face gasket for extra toasty comfort on frigid nights, as well as a two-way zipper in case—on the other hand—the nights aren’t as cold as expected.
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.

If you’re a fair-weather camper looking for a solid backpacking bag that can handle the unexpected, the Mountain Hardwear Lamina 30 Degree Synthetic Sleeping Bag is your jam. This ultralight mummy bag weighs next to nothing for a synthetic bag, so you can certainly take it on that week-long trip you’ve got planned this summer. Plus, this synthetic fill isn’t like most. Sure, it does that nice thing where it won’t lose its loft if it gets wet—plus the nylon face fabric is treated to shed light moisture—but the Thermal.Q fill is designed to be nearly as light and packable as down.
The Lamina sleeping bag gets its name from the unique welded baffles that make up its design. By directly linking the synthetic insulation to the shell, cold spots are eliminated and heat-trapping loft is enhanced. The hood and draft collar are also designed to efficiently seal in the warmth, and the women’s standard mummy construction is shaped and insulated specifically to add warmth where ladies need it. But don’t worry, if you get a little warm in the middle of the night, the two-way zipper can be opened at the feet to let in some cool air.
Hey everyone this is david woman and today I’m going to do a review of this mountain hardwear torch lamina z. Sleeping bag and it’s a five-degree bag. And it’s about 70 up so I’m a little. Warm right now mo toasty a little ready. To get out Oh. All right so in case you missed it this. Is the mountain hardwear torch lam ZEE which is the men’s version of their five. Degree Fahrenheit sleeping bag overall i want to say i really like this bag and i would keep it. Except for one factor which I’ll talk about later and but it’s been I’ve had. It for almost a year now it’s been across the u.s. with me japan in snow storms it’s been in summer. It’s been in a living room lots of aluminum and i can fairly accurately. Attest that it’s a great sleeping bag i put it through the wringer for sure I’m going to start with a few things that i do like about it first of. All i do like the brand mountain hardwear and i do like the color. Important i do also like one thing i liked about. It is the welded pam construction now if. You know anything about baffle construction in these kind of products is anywhere that is if you don’t well. Depending on the kind of construction typically if it’s sewn then you’re going to have this spot where the two fabrics meet together for the zone and it’s a spot where he can easily escape. Because there’s very few barriers by doing the welded you end up having loft all the way through the bag which is really nice less heat escapes that way i. Do like the zippers have been very good it’s a large ykk zipper. And the air guard on the zipper does. Occasionally get stuck but I’m not going to call it a complaint because it’s pretty minor it’s got one strap that. Goes from the outside and then swings towards the inside so you can access it. From either side it is a double zipper so if you tend to get hot feet at night. You can unzip this and stick your feet out the bottom or for airing it out or. However you want to use that and it is a. Double zipper the velcro around the neck. I haven’t had any issues with some people typically complain about that on. Sleeping bags that use velcro i haven’t had an issue with that granted i don’t use it a ton typically i just zip it up. But i haven’t issues with it some things i don’t really like about this pag and take this. With a grain of salt because they’re not huge issues to me like i said i have the. Only reason I’m not going to keep it is for one reason and it’s not one of these so i don’t really like the fit of it now. That’s something that i should have looked into more when i got this bag and it’s something that i just didn’t know at the time or thing to consider but just because something is a mummy bag does not mean it’s going to fit you exactly the same every manufacturer has. A different fit and sizing chart and this bag in particular is quite broad. And has a lots of space in it which is great if you want to move around and twist a lot but for me I’m typically. Looking for something that is compressible small and holds in my. Warmth really well so i need to look more carefully next time at a bag fits me really well this one just has a lot. Of space around the shoulders and even the head when we cinch it up I’ve still got a bunch of dead air space next to my head and it’s just unnecessary energy. Being wasted and heat being wasted so. That’s that’s my fault not necessarily the bags thing just something to know it seems to be a little bit wider than other bags to things that don’t really like about this bag the drawstring the. Drawstring is difficult in my opinion it. Is a elastic shock cord which isn’t. Necessarily a bad thing but the actual mechanism itself is a very stiff spring which is hard to open especially when. You’re tired but also i think more. Importantly i don’t like the angle of it some bags put it on the inside so that. You can easily access it but if you’re all zipped up they’re nice and cozy and snuggly for the night it’s really. Difficult to kind of reach out through the neck and tighten things it’s just. It’s just difficult and it’s stiff i don’t know I’m not a big fan of the draw cord i wish it was on the inside and i wish it was a little easier to adjust that’s just me also they have this. Zipper on the outside a very small. Little pouch good for like a cell phone. I use it for well use it i would use it. For a camera or like camera batteries. Sorry not a full camera a camera batteries or by phone to keep it warm at. Night so that the batteries don’t end up going kaput well that would be great except that. They put it on the outside of the bag on the outside of the insulation which means your body heat doesn’t keep it warm and there’s nothing from the outside keeping it warm so basically anything you put in this bag is going to. Be freezing by morning and so that doesn’t do me any good for me personally i would prefer it was on me inside then. It might have some use that’s pretty. Much it oh the one thing dun-dun-dun the one. Reason I’m not going to keep this bag for too much longer is compressibility and that’s not necessarily the bags fault it’s just because of what i do a lot of backpacking and hiking and i. Need something more compressible because this guy even at its smallest point with. Me sitting on it and squeezing the life. Out of it doesn’t really fit into my 70 liter backpack very well and so it’s. Just not a good fit for me if you’re. Doing a lot of car camping this may still be a great bag and I’d recommend it but if your goal is ultra light and small i would not recommend this bag all. Things considering i suppose that being. A synthetic 5 degree bags it compresses. Pretty well but i know it’s a little big. For me it does come with its own compression sack which is great and its own storage bag closet storage bag the. Compression sack i will say is well fitted to the bag i do like that is if. You buy another one you’re actually not going to get it any smaller they pretty much made the compression sack to be at. Its smallest point which i do like a lot so a well-fitted compression sack and a. Nice storage bag those come with it i do like that i do like the bag i would. Recommend someone else i won’t be keeping it for much longer because I’m going to get a nice down one and that. Will compress a little bit more and be better suited for my adventures but. Overall this is a great bag you can find. More info about it on mountain hardwear’s website or like rei website as far as actual weight and. Fill weight and it is a synthetic now. Down i don’t know if i mentioned that and it’s a good bag it’s a good bag i. Would definitely recommend us if you guys have questions feel free as always. To drop a comment below i typically respond to those within a couple days and sometimes even post a follow-up video if i feel the need and so please. Do that and subscribe for more reviews and adventure vlogs that will be coming and photo shoot stuffs and etc yada. Yada and now I’m rambling so until next. Time has a good one get outside and. I’ll see you then.
