MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #0 Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down

Shave pack weight and stay warm on your next climbing or winter camping trip with the MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #0 0-Degree Down Sleeping Bag. This 0-Degree down sleeping bag's stretchy seams conform to your every movement and eliminate dead space for better thermal efficiency. MontBell used Multi-Box baffle construction to ensure this 800-fill down bag has no cold spots and retains its loft longer than competing bags. Smaller sleepers can close an eight-inch baffle at the feet, reducing the amount of empty space to heat even further. Weighing only 2lbs 13oz and rated to 0 degrees, the U.L. Super Stretch Down Hugger #0's impressive weight to warmth ratio keeps you moving fast and sleeping sound in cold, unforgiving terrain.

Bottom Line: The MontBell U.L Super Stretch Down Hugger #0 proves that you don't have to sacrifice warmth for light weight.

UL Super Stretch, is well worth it!

By:
February 20, 2008

I recently purchased this bag, for my husband. We're avid snow campers, and have been slowly upgrading all of our gear. He's been having trouble finding a bag that fits him around his chest and shoulders, comfortably. I purchased this bag, because of it's weight, at under 3lbs for a 0 degree bag, with 800 fill, and the stretch capabilities, I thought it would fit my husband perfectly. I was right! He was snug as a bug, with the temps dropping into the single digits our first night out this season. He loves the stretchiness allowing him to move with more freedom and yet stay warm as it just "hugs" you right back up again. The water resistant material, kept the icecrystals that dropped from the top of the tent in the morning hours, from soaking the bag too much, keeping it nice and lofty. It's a little pricey, but so worth it!!

Does the stretch function come at the cost of warmth? How does this compare in heat retention to a Marmot Lithium?

Cold sleepers...this bag is for you!

By:
October 30, 2007

I am a cold sleeper and after many years with the synthetic Joan of Arc, I decided it was time for a down bag. I looked at everything and read every review out there...this bag is the bomb. I have used it on two fall trips where the temps dipped to about 25 and I was toasty. I was wearing thin long underwear but never even thought about a hat due to the snug hood. Love the stretchy baffles, no extra space to heat and I can easily sit cross legged in the bag. The draw string at the end to make the bag "shorter" is clever for us short gals, also less space to heat AND it makes for a great pocket to store my fuel at night as well as provide an extra down pillow at my feet. A cold night's sleep makes for a not-so-great camping trip...This bag is worth the money. Can't wait to try it out in December

Im looking for a bag to take with me for winter camping above the tree line in the Sierra Nevadas... I have some pretty burly down clothing that I could supplement this bag with.... Will this be enough warmth?

If you're going to be exposed to freezing winter temperatures above timberline in any mountain range, I'd choose a warmer bag. A -15/-20 bag will keep you toasty & possibly save your life. You don't want to cut corners on your cocoon!

I think this would be a better/safer choice:

Love it.

By:
October 11, 2009

I bought this bag because I was looking for a bag that would keep me warm and be comfortable. So far, so good. I've taken it out into the mountains of Southern California several times this fall and found that even without a tent I was toasty warm. Haven't tested it out at the zero mark yet, but I was almost hot when the temperature hit the teens, so it looks promising.

I'm 5'11", maybe 6'1" with my feet stretched

I'm 5'11", maybe 6'1" with my feet stretched out. I'm concerned that getting the long bag will mean heating extra air (I'm not a warm sleeper), but I'm in love with the stretch feature on these bags. Is it worth losing the stretch feature for warmth, say, going with the Marmot Couloir?

It does have the cinch at the last baffle so you can seal off the last bit of the bag...

A great backpacking bag

By:
May 7, 2007

I already had a MontBell 20 degree bag. When I needed a slightly warmer bag, I tried several other brands. Nothing compared to the "pack down" size and the overall comfort of this bag. The MontBell may be slightly less warm then a couple of others, but this is easily compensated for with the aid of a bag liner. On the 30 degree, change the inside string cinch right away and the system is about perfect.

I'm considering this bag or a Marmot Lithium -they seem very similar. Does anyone have direct experience with both makes? Pros and cons? Thanks!

The answer above is not completely accuarate. I spoke with Marmot about the claim that they will refill the bag for life for free and they told me that unless it was a warranty issue, they could refil the bag, but at a cost to the owner based on the amount of fill desired.

They are both really great bags and before this year i would have been hard pressed because the Marmot used to only have a 1/4 zipper. Now the zipper is full length and with the lifetime free refill and $10 wash (Marmot will refill the down in the bag for the life of the bag. That means you basically get a new bag whenever you want!), i would go with the Marmot 10 out of 10 times. The Montbell has some great features (elasticized baffles that "hug" and the cinch foot box) but unless you actually need them, then i don't think they are fully worth it. Plus Marmot was and is at the forefront of the sleeping bag market (They own 1 of only the 3 down facilities in the USA, REI is another, can't remember the third.) and their temp ratings are real world and lab tested to ensure "comfort" and "extremes". Good luck with your choice!

Super comfy and snug.

By:
August 31, 2007

Stretch works great - just like advertised. Lets me stretch out my hips while in the bag. I got the bag for summer in the Arctic but decided to give it a go in the Rockies this August. It was too warm for my summer trip so I had to sleep in my skivvies with the zipper half open most of the time. Great product.

you might be able to find a way, but these bags are not designed to zip together. if you did find a way, they would not be rated to 0 degrees anymore because there would be more room for heat to escape, even with another body inside.Actually, All Mont Bell Bags besides the new Spiral down bags are specifically designed to zip together as long as you have one right and one left zip. Even a regular length and a long will zip together.

Comfort has no price

By:
April 16, 2009

This is one of my best pieces of Winter gear. I camp in the snow quite a few times each Winter. I can handle being cold all day but if I'm cold at night it's a whole different story. This bag fits me well, I'm 6'0'' with a 44' chest. When I went to bed this weekend on Rainier my toes had been numb for several hours. Within 20 minutes only my nose was cold. It was < 20 and the winds were heinous. The bag is light, packs small and dries out quickly. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the review Erich... you mentioned how big you are, but not which size bag you used. Do you use the long or the regular?

The specs state that "regular" length fits up to 5'10".

The specs state that "regular" length fits up to 5'10". That is a little shorter than most other makes. I am 5'10 1/2"...do I need to go with the "long" bag (with the extra weight)?

Yes, these are shorter than most other brands...I guess that's what you get with a Japanese manufacturer.

so far so good

By:
July 17, 2009

Honestly I haven't used it in the winter yet. I bought it because my 6-year-old, 20-degree TNF catwalk was not warm enough for summer nights at 6500 feet in Montana. So obviously (despite LOTS of June snows) it has been warm enough. I actually got the bag because backcountry had to cancel my order for the mtn hardware women's phantom and I needed something before leaving for the field 2 days later- customer service kindly price matched this bag for me, as they should have. This bag was the second lightest item on the website that also wasn't too too long (i am 5'5"). I like its box baffle construction and the stretch element. It is really the sewing around every bafflebox that is stretchy....not the material itself (that would be pretty impressive considering the weight). It looks delicate but remains intact after several nibbling and wrestling matches in the tent with my labrador.

This is not a burly bag by any means. The material encasing the down is an ultralight(ultra thin)nylon that packs down ridiculously small. Everything about this bag is quality, and i'm sure it will last for decades if treated correctly. Granted the shell is an ultra-lightweight, you still have to show proper care to make it last. I wouldn't it for "newbies!"

Cold Sleepers Beware

By:
March 16, 2009

I love many things about this bag: first, I'm 6'3", 200 lbs, and I find the bag super roomy and comfortable. The stretchiness creates a cozy feeling but allows plenty of movement. The weight and packability is also excellent.

My one concern is that so far the temperature rating has not seemed accurate. This is supposed to be a 0 degree bag, and I've been cold on two 25 degree nights. I haven't returned the bag yet, am going to give it a few more tries, because other reviewers seem to find it warm. I'm generally a warm sleeper, so was surprised to be cold in this bag.

I've only used this bag while sleeping in a tent and had no issue with condensation or the random water droplets that make their way onto the bag during the night. Re the temp...I'm a cold sleeper and always have additional layers on but so far so good and I have done some winter camping with it. Slept like a baby on Kili although I don't think it ever got down to zero. Next up is Aconcagua and it is coming with me...I have faith in this bag! Hope that helpsUnless your bag has a Gore-Tex or DryLoft shell, it is not "waterproof." All sleeping bags are water resistant to a point but these are normal condensation conditions inside a tent.

MontBell America, Inc. U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #0 Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down

By: Backcountry.com Employee
September 30, 2008

I've always been a cold sleeper, but now that I have this bag, I don't think I'll have that problem again! I just used it on a 6 day backpacking trip where the temps were in the teens at night, and I was perfectly comfortable. I'm pretty short, so it was nice to be able to close the last foot baffle on the really cold nights to warm it up a little. The stretch seams are also really nice, as they hold the bag in close, but hide a large amount of room for when I move around. The tent we used did not breathe well, so we had condensation on everything in the mornings, but the water just beaded up on the bag, and never soaked through. This bag is awesome!

Warm and adjustable.

By: Backcountry.com Employee
May 23, 2008

This is by far the best bag that I have ever owned. It will adjust to any sleeping pattern perfectly. The baffles stretch with 800 fill down to keep every inch warm. The bottom of the bag is also equipped with a cinch cord to keep your feet warmer. The bag fits into a tiny area as well. You can stuff it down very tightly.
