I used this in the Uintas in the summer. I think the temps dipped into the upper 30s. I am a cold sleeper. I froze, even with long johns and all my layers on. I was shivering in my bag and I could not sleep. I wish I could return it. Alas, I purchased it on steep and cheap.

Bought this bag in an attempt to lightin some backpack weight.I have a Big Agnes that I really like but it's a little heavy for a 5 day trip.This bag did the job .The bag was absolutely warm and comfortable,no need for anything but shorts in 45 degree weather.Backcountry rocked the pr$ce and I would definitely recommend this bag.I shopped for quite some time before deciding on The Vamp!

I used it for the first time and found this to be a great overall purchase. My previous bag was a North Face Cat's Meow 20 degree synthetic bag and I was looking to shed a bit of weight and volume. Compared to my last bag, the Stoic is lighter and packs smaller, plus it's a lot more comfortable. Having a long (without a significant weight penalty) makes it feel much much roomier, and sleeping on down makes it feel more like a real bed, just a tad bit of luxury. I also feel this is warmer than the cat's meow, I used to wake up cold in the morning if it dipped down into the 30's but this past weekend I felt perfectly warm in the new bag.

For the negatives, I'd taking off one star for the compression sack as the seams on one strap ripped the first time I used it. Others have commented on this one too, so although it'll be replaced under warranty I get the feeling I'm going to have to invest in a sturdier one. Also I'm not all that crazy about the green color, but that's not too big of a problem.

I'm 6'5" tall and weigh in at 215lbs so I'm not the littlest guy around. I'm lengthy and have broad shoulders. I bought the long version of this bag and it fits me perfect: head to toe and shoulder to shoulder with just the right amount of space to side-sleep or toss and turn without corkscrewing the bag. I am a bit of a down-snob too. I don't like synthetic as it is much heavier and does not pack down nearly as easily or tightly as down does. I can get away with only using down because I primarily use it in the dry climate of the desert Southwest where prolonged rainy whether and dew build-up is rather rare. I work as a professional hiking guide so I spend several weeks at a time sleeping under the stars in this bag. I have slept in this bag down to 34 degrees in just my boxer shorts and was totally warm. I've also slept in this bag in 90 degree temps which was warm but with the zipper open it was still comfortable. It's super light, and as far as I can tell was well constructed with quality materials and 600-fill down feathers. I really like the way the flap along the zipper has been reinforced so it doesn't get sucked into the zipper. However the zipper itself seems a bit cheap and I am not convinced it will last forever. It hasn't failed me yet but sometimes hesitates to zip up at first which can be slightly annoying. This is why I can only give it 4 stars. Otherwise I would have given it 5, which I rarely do for any of my gear as it is almost never perfect. I would recommend this bag to anyone who does a lot of dry climate camping or just needs a quality down bag at a really great price.

This will be my first "nice" down bag. Is it standard practice to apply water repellent to your sleeping bag?
Does anyone recommend applying it or not applying it to this bag in particular?

Thomas Ogasawara

Member since 
Responded on

Nope. I wouldn't apply any water repellant finish or anything, you want it to breathe at least a little. If you'll be camping where it can get wet, I would just camp in a tent/bivvy

I completely agree with Thomas, the less the bag breathes the less comfortable your sleep. Also, some waterproofing eventually flakes off; I would imagine this would happen even quicker with a sleeping bag that is put in a compression sack. I myself have a stoic bag and love it - you will too. Happy Camping! Hope this helps!

This Stoic bag is SICK! So warm and comfy even with temperatures dipping below the twenties. Get a different compression sack and you can easily get it down to even a smaller size. As for weight, I have yet to find a bag for this cheap that weighs less and provides more comfort. Stoic Vamp 30...get it!

I used the stoic 30 degree down sleeping bag this weekend. I loved it. It compressed really small and is super lightweight. It fit perfectly at my bottom of my backpack. It kept me very warm and was comfortable. The only con about this bag is that it sometimes had a hard time zipping up and down. Other than that, this is an amazing sleeping bag and i would highly recommend it.

I used this bag on an overnight camping/hiking trip and found it very comfortable.It was early June in North Carolina mountains and I started the night on top of the bag with the bag open for quick entry once the temps dropped. When I got cold and started into the bag the zipper disconnected and I had to find my glasses and light to reconnect the two halves which did not line up correctly. I finally got the zipper back together and drifted off to sleep Lesson learned: Don't unzip the bag all the way down. Lined it up correctly the next morning and all is well. Great bag for the money. Lightweight and small for the backpack. Haven't tested the warmth with a cold night yet but feel with the sea to summit liner it will do well.

I thought I was rolling the dice when I paid so little for this bag. It turned out to be a good gamble. This bag is warm, light, and very compressible. The price made my ultralight transition much easier.

I've had this bag for over a year now and bought it on SAC for around $80. I'm a huge fan of down and if it means spending a bit more for better quality, lower weight, and higher compressibility, I'm all about it. I use this bag for most of the year and has never let me down. I can get it down to the size of a softball in my Sea to Summit dry sac and it lofts up in a few minutes. There are lighter options out there but I don't think i'm ready to plunk down an extra $100 to save on a few ounces, especially for a summer bag. (This is a different story in the winter, where compressibility comes into play). The pertex material is great as it can shed the occassional spill pretty easily. I've taken this bag into the high 30's and 40's with no problems whatsoever, but I usually use a silk liner but still I've never gotten cold in this bag. The previous reviewer mentioned the water bottle bag and I agree completely that its useless, I'd rather have it in the bag with me. I also like the fact that it's a full length zipper because in the summer, i like to sleep with it open and that wouldn't be an option in the half zip varieties. One negative comment, I recently noticed a small tear in the seams where the zipper is, but it doens't seem like it's where the down is so no leakage so far. Overall great bag for the price. Again if you have the cash you could buy a better bag, however for me it's not enough of a difference to justify it.

one more thing: the specs say there is a draft collar and that's incorrect there is none.

I am concerned about the circumference of this bag. shoulder at 66" is great but the waste at 57" and foot at 30" seems small. I am 6" tall and 220#. Should I be concerned about the 30" circumference at the feet. Just how tapering is this bag?

I have to admit I like this bag, it's great quality for the price. But, the foot space is a bit confining. It's fine for a mummy bag but if your like me, it takes some getting used to.

Warm, light, and super packable. I naturally run pretty hot and with long johns and a wool baselayer, I was comfy all night sleeping in the desert last month.

WOW! Very impressed with everything about this beautiful bag. Couldn't wait to get out and put it to the test on The Foot Hills Trail. It stuffs and packs down just as it says. It's clean looks match its awesome silky feel and attention to detail quality. Best zipper I've ever seen! And this bag weighs nothing!! I am 6' and went with the long. With as much room as there is, I imagine the regular would have been fine but I'm loving the extra wiggle room. SO comfortable! Did not get cold enough to utilize the foot box warmer (bottom zipper) but in the upper 40's it regulated perfectly wearing just about nothing. I am very happy with this bag!

I've been super pleased with this bag. I have last year's model, but they seem to be the same. This bag is my first down bag after using a variety of synthetic bags from 0-30 degrees. The bag is fairly light. Heavier than an 800 fill bag, but a lot cheaper and still pretty easy on the back. And it's still is lighter and packs smaller than a comparable synthetic bag. Where I've been most impressed, however, is how warm it's kept me even when the temperature drops. I've slept in this on snow at below 30 more than once and been quite toasty wearing winter base layers and the Stoic Hadron. I've been as comfortable as friends in 0 degree bags. I thought this bag was pretty neat from the first, but after a year of pushing the limits on how cold I'll take it I'm even more impressed.

My only complaints:
Pretty roomy around the torso (could be a pro I suppose, but I think it'd be warmer with a little less dead space)
Foot zipper and pocket seem pretty worthless to me. I'd take them out to save a little weight.
I wish I'd gone with the 800 fill, but that's not really a downside of this bag. At the time I was on a budget and this fit the bill. Now I'd appreciate the lighter weight.

Overall, highly recommend.

Also, at 6'2" the regular was the right length choice. And the stuff sack is really convenient and has held up well. Though I don't compress it 100% because there's not really that much to gain; I'm more concerned about weight than volume in my pack.
