Mountain Hardwear Switch 5 Sleeping Bag: 5 Degree Synthetic

The Mountain Hardwear Switch 5 Sleeping Bag includes a Quantum expander to increase girth by eight inches for nights where you want a little more room. Thermic MX synthetic insulation uses a blend of hollow and solid fibers to lower weight without compromising durability. A zipper baffle helps Mountain Hardwear eliminate all cold sports from this sleeping bag, and the draft collar holds in the warm air when temps plummet.

Bottom Line: Mummy bags don’t have to feel cramped.

Ideal sleeping bag.

By:

I dont like mummy bags, have a hard time with them. Ive used rectangle bags, and paid the price in terms of wieght and packed size. I needed something that would pack smaller, so I looked at the MH switch bags, the Marmot trestles semi-rec, and the big agnes semi-rec bags. This bag was ideal, I can unzip the expander and get the shoulder room I need to sleep comfy at night. There is no loss of fill in the expander, no cold spot if its unzipped. The BA and marmot bags had better foot room, but its the shouders thats most important for me. The marmot wieghed about the same, but was only rated to 20F, and I didn't end up liking the integrated pad system of the BA.
I would have liked this bag to come with a compression sack, but wasn't a big deal to pick one up, the bag compresses well.
The draft collar cinches up, has a seperate cinch cord for the top and bottom collars (which can also velcro together at the edges), as well as a seperate cinch cord for the hood. It has a small pocket for a watch or glass/contacts at the shoulder, a bonus. The zipper was easy to operate, and on the occasional snag, was really easy to un-snag.
*note: the description says you can get 8 extra inches from unzipping the expander, but that must be for the long bag, I have the regular and it gives you an extra 6 inches.
