ALPS Mountaineering Navajo Sleeping Bag: 20F Degree Down - 2008
As ALPS Mountaineering's lightest and most compressible mummy bag, the Navajo 20F Sleeping Bag won't let you down on the trail … Damn it. You'd think that we could make it through at least one description without using a pun. But no: we just had to work in ‘down.' You see: this mummy bag keeps you toasty with 650-loft goose down. Hence our horrible pun. Oh well … Throw in a slant baffle construction that prevents insulation migration and a contoured hood which locks in heat, and you get a mummy bag that has your back from spring through fall. Alps Mountaineering gave the Navajo Sleeping Bag a self-repairing #8 YKK zipper so you can connect it to other bags and used ripstop nylon on the shell for durability.
Bottom Line: You down with a lightweight & compressible mummy bag?
For the reasonable price it's a very nice bag, light, packs small, and fairly warm. I have doubts about the 20F rating but I took it quite high in Colorado in late May, and I was very warm even with the hail/snow outside. A inner liner definitely helps.
If you are on a budget (and who is not on a budget nowadays?) this is a decent bag. It's fairly warm, although 20 degrees may be slightly optimistic. It does have an internal chest baffle. It comes with a compression sack, and packs down to about 8 X 12 inches. If you are 6 feet or taller, I would definitely get the long.
This bag is a great product. Its super lightweight, highly compressible, and lives up to the degree rating. i took it backpacking a few weekends ago on a cold, windy night here in colorado and i stayed warm the whole time. its sweet to have a bag that takes up hardly any space in my pack.
This is my first down bag after years of packing a huge zero degree synthetic bag. I'm saving several pounds and lots of room in my pack but I was worried about getting cold. A cold snap in the Canyonlands had me unexpectedly testing this at 18 degree temps. I was wearing my long undies, fleece, and beanie and using a downmat, but I stayed warm enough all night and slept fine.
I just bought this bag and have only used it in moderate weather thus far, so I can't testify to the degree rating. As for the design and quality of the bag, it packs down small, is lightweight as promised and works great. I can't wait to take it backpacking this summer!
Got this off steepandcheap not long ago. Stayed warm and slept well in 20-30 degree weather wearing long underwear and a fleece top. Probably didn't need the fleece. Good down bag at a great price.
The bag was light wieght which was fantastic for packing in but If I can I will return it for a warmer bag. I seriously doubt this bag is really 20* I had to use a flannel liner to stay warm. Although for the $ it might be worth it for someone that only camps/backpacks a few times a year.
