Sierra Designs Lazer 30 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Synthetic - 2008 BCS

I got the Lazer because the weight is great and I hike in a damp area (the Cascades). But the bag is so narrow that it is extremely uncomfortable. I am 5-10 and 210 pounds, a mens size 46R. This bag shaves weight for sure, but if you have an athletic build, its like being in a strait jacket. Side-sleeping was impossible. If you are skinny, sleep on your back, or dont mind a body-hugging fit, then you might be ok with the Lazer. There is no way I could wear an extra layer other than tight longies to sleep in this bag. The foot vent was great- loved it- and the half-zip was fine. Too bad about the overall dimensions.

This is a really good sleeping bag. I have used it anywhere from hot summer nights all the way down into the low thirties with a few layers. The bag is light, compacts small, and with the stretch sides very comfertable to sleep in. I like the jacket hood design, and find it to be warmer than typicle sleeping bag hoods. I thought that I would not like the half zip, but have found that it to be adequate when used with the foot zip. I have used this bag quite a bit over the past year, and have found it to hold up well. After repeated compressions the insulation has not shifted, and the bag is just as warm as the day I bought it. I would recomend this sleeping bag to anyone looking for a good 3 season bag.
