Phantom Sleeping Bag
When your plans call for a bivy you need a sleeping bag that can withstand the elements while keeping you warm at the same time—the Phantom Sleeping Bag from Mountain Hardwear is the expedition companion for portaledge pushes and alpine starts. Made with ripstop materials and coated in a DWR finish, the Phantom won't be rubbed the wrong way in rocky outcroppings or left to wither in wet conditions. At only 2-pounds, it won't weigh down your pack either—an easy sell for adventures that require more gear than is comfortable to pack.
If you are exposed to the elements, the draft tube and collar keep unwanted cold air out while the large, anti-snag zipper won't keep you in. When middle-of-the-night duty calls, the reflective zipper will be easy to locate and the vertical baffles will maintain their fluffy warmth when you return.

Excellent
Soft, light, and kept me warm. I used it so for for a 3 day back pack at Joshua tree and teps dipped into the 30's and I woke up sweating and had to unzip and take off some layers

WOW!!! So light and so warm!
Been using this bag in some super cold temps for mountaineering (10-14k+). Was originally worried about getting a 15 bag but this thing is perfect. So light weight and keeps me warm in the bitter cold out here in Colorado.

Great Bag! Its light & warm
This is my 3rd Mountain Hardwear sleeping bag. I have a Ratio 15F/-9C I purchased about 6yrs ago which is still great. I purchased this bag so I could bring more than one kid with me on backpacking trips. I've used it 2x this season and its worked out great. We just did a couple nights up in Tahoe National Forest in the Island Lake area. Temps came down on the second night, but felt perfect in this bag. Some friends got cold, but this bag was great.

Nice! More spacious than I expected
Initial thoughts are great, though I haven't tested it anywhere near it's EN ratings yet (+10C was the coldest night). So many reviews told me it was tight and narrow - and perhaps that's true for the regular version - but as a 6'2" male at 165lbs, it felt quite spacious! If not a little too long. While I know there are taller people out there, I wish I didn't have so much excess material. I tried a regular out despite the max height of 6'0" and I probably could've gotten away with it but I knew I'd run into the same problem I already had: cold feet at night due to compressing the bag. This will no longer be an issue, especially with a foot box that's designed for feet much larger than my size 11s. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could as a baseline. Once I get it out in the cold I might consider upping it to 5 stars if the warmth ratings hold up.

As comfortable as a sleeping bag gets
Warm with a lot of loft to the down. In alpine conditions I usually find myself sleeping with most of layers on still when I am in a bag but this one kept me warm through snowy nights and snug in storms without the need for any extra layers. It is very comfortable with nice cushioning in the hood and a very roomy foot box. My favorite bag I have ever used in cold mountain conditions.

Warm and snug
Keeps warm at night in multiple conditions and has a nice roomy footbox. If you're broad in the shoulders, you might find it slightly snug. Also, practice opening and closing the top portion before you go out and use it. Can be difficult to operate if you're not used to it.

This a wonderful, high quality, lightweight sleeping bag.
This a wonderful, high quality, lightweight sleeping bag. The down is rated 850 so it keeps you warm without all the weight. I use it back packing when the temps are cooler. I also like the glow in the dark zipper pulls.

Great Construction, Not Warm.
I’m a professional outdoors guide living and working in Colorado, and I bought this bag last August to use during my guiding work. I’ve had the chance to sleep in it now for more than 45 days and honestly have to say that I haven’t found a situation yet that I’ve been impressed with its performance. Overall the fit is snug, but what I expected from a high-tier mummy bag. I really like the way that the Phantom 15° is available in multiple lengths, as I’m a shorter guy. I’m also going to say that I’m a bit of a tosser and turner when I sleep, and this bag isn’t great for that, but it never purports to be. The face and liner fabric used is outstanding as is the quality of craftsmanship, and I’ve never been disappointed by a seam ripping or fabric tearing. The zipper is top-quality as well, so no problems there, and the foot box and hood shapes are well-designed. I wouldn’t describe myself as a cold sleeper, as I’m regularly trying to cool myself off in general sleeping situations, but as soon as it was chilly enough to start needing this bag (45°F or below), it never kept me warm. I’ve had the opportunity to sleep in this bag out in the open, in a tent, cabin, yurt, bivy sack, and variety of tents paired with a sleeping pad with an r-value of 4.2, and I wake up shivering despite sleeping with full insulating layers on. While backpacking on the Colorado Trail in September, low temperatures were in the 40s, and I was chilly in this bag. During my last trip to Moab (April 3-7, 2023) I was inside a tent, on an insulated sleeping pad, wearing down pants, down booties, and a down jacket, a hat, and gloves, while inside of this sleeping bag and I still woke up shivering from the cold. I really wanted to like this bag, and I kept trying to make it work for me in a variety of seasons and settings, with a variety of sleeping clothing options, but it’s time for me to move on to something a bit warmer. Maybe I expected too much, but for a bag with a 15° rating, I’d like to be warm at 40°.

My New Happy Warm Comfy World for 2022!
Dialed In. Mtn Hardware bags always seem to work the best for me. Sold a 20 synthetic for this new model and couldn't be happier. All the small details I expect, but the zipper is a great improvement along with the fantastic Ghost Whisperer fabric. THE NECK BAFFLE alone is worth the purchase of this bag. Compresses in my Hyperlite 3400 horizontally on the bottom like a pod sack. Used an OR down beanie with merino neck gaiter along with Minus 33 top/tights and Vampire socks on a 4.1R pad and took it down in the single digits toasty! FULL Zipper allows quilt like conversion on warmer nights.

Cozy and lightweight!!
Too hot so far lol! Love it though :) used it a few times more as a quilt on nights down into the 40s cause of how warm it is.
