You can buy an expensive bag if you think it will make you more hardcore, but I will gladly tell everyone how hardcore you are if you pay me to do so.
Please be mindful of our values and boundaries and review our Community Guidelines prior to posting. Stay cozy even on the coldest nights of your camping or hiking trips with the Everest Mummy Sleeping Bag, +5F/-15C Degree. This bag is only rated to 30 degrees and may not be warm enough for some settings. It ozark trail tent is terribly heavy for backpacking and definitely not rated correctly. If you just can’t afford a better bag…DO NOT GO OUT IN COLD WEATHER OR YOU WILL REGRET IT. The only way you would sleep well in this bag is if you are under 5’5″ and very slender and use it summer nights or maybe push it to early fall.
Along with a healthy dose of 550-fill down, the bag offers cozy warmth and good compressibility. And considering the typical price of a down bag, the Cosmic Down’s $165 MSRP really stands out. I bought the zero degree bag and nearly froze to death.
It is important to consider the temperature rating, especially when camping in cold weather. It is advisable to understand what the temperature ratings mean for each. Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top warm weather synthetic sleeping bags.
The “L” shaped zipper configuration, and the fact that no hoods are involved, allow this simpler sleeping bag design to be mated easily. Your best bet for getting sleeping bags that mate together is to purchase them together, at the same time. Manufacturers sometimes change zipper styles, sizes, lengths etc. with each different model year. So, if you do not purchase your sleeping bags together there is no guarantee that your bag will mate with a bag purchased sometime down the road.
I purchased this sleeping bag for warm weather camping trips at the local lake. For fifteen dollars I wasn’t expecting (or needing) anything Ozark Trail Camping Chairs that would stand up to freezing weather. Unfortunately the workmanship was more than a little upsetting, even for that price.
Notable extras worth calling out are built-in pillows or pillow sleeves (the NEMO Forte boasts the former), which are a nice luxury for those annoyed by camp pillows that tend to move in the night. Additionally, integrated blankets, interior pockets for stowing small items like a headlamp, and draft tubes at the collar for trapping warmth are becoming more common. This is only a 30-degree sleeping bag and may get cold on late fall or winter camping trips. This sleeping bag does not unzip all the way around and cannot be connected to other sleeping bags. For convenience and ease of storage, the sleeping bags feature a stuff sack and elastic straps so you can bundle them into a manageable compact size.
Then, as the temperature drops, zip on the 800-fill goose down midlayer (to 20°F) or add the third section on top for winter camping (5°F rating). At less than 4 pounds with all layers connected, the One Bag is streamlined, lightweight, and reasonably packable. The rest of the design is equally premium, including a water-resistant YKK main zipper, roomier-than-average hood, and fleece-lined compression sack that can pull double duty as a pillow. No matter where your travels take you, from national parks to backwoods to back porches, a camping sleeping bag remains a trusty companion.
Mummy bags typically have a ¾-length side zip that requires some wriggling to get in and out of and can’t be opened up completely should you want to zip the sleeping bag together with another compatible bag. That’s why for camping, we prefer a bag that fully unzips. Not only is it easy to create a large and comfortable space for two if you zip it to another bag, but unzipping the bag on its own opens it up for use as a blanket.
