MontBell America, Inc. U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down

The MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 25 Degree Down Sleeping Bag provides warmth in sub-freezing temps at an incredibly low 1lb 12oz. Though it weighs less than your 1L bottle of water, this 800-fill down sleeping bag uses stretch stitching to hug your body and eliminate dead air space. Multi-Box baffle construction ensures the Super Stretch Hugger Sleeping Bag has no cold spots, and its bottom eight-inch baffle seals to fit smaller users. This down mummy bag's warmth to weight ratio make it ideal for three season backpacking or rock climbing trips.

Bottom Line: A three-season sleeping bag that weights less than a full water bottle? It's called the MontBell Super Stretch Hugger #2.

bag

i've only slept in the hugger line of bags. I feel like its the best fit for me because i move constantly at night. I enjoy the bag however i'm not sure if its all that warm. I havent tested it in real cold temperatures but in the summer in the moutains in the east coast i find myself bundeling up very tightly. That may be because i'm in a hammock though. 4 stars only because its super expensive, cant the chinese make something cheaper?

Need to know if the #2 will be warm enough? I am looking at the #2 UL Super Stretch and a Western Mountaineering Alpenlite (20 degree)

I tried out the Western Mountaineering bag and felt very comfortable, however I am very intrigued by the stretch feature of the Montbell. I tend to move around a lot and like to reposition my legs frequently. Any restless sleepers out there have any recommendations?

I have a 30 degree synthetic right now and it is not doing the job at all. I mostly go backpacking in the NW by Mt Rainier and the Cascades. I know in the mountains it can get cool at night and I want to make sure that this bag is going to keep me warm enough.

Thanks!

Hey,
It actually sound like you need to grab a bit of a warmer bag. Im not 100% sure the temps you are camping in, but if you are getting cold with these other bags and haven't found something warm yet. I would recommend going with a 15 degree bag or possibly a 0 degree bag.

Here check out the 0 degree down version of this:
http://www.backcountry.com/store/MTB0044/MontBell-America-Inc-UL-Super-Stretch-Hugger-0-Sleeping-Bag-0-Degree-Down.html

That would be another great bag to look at. It will give you a ton of extra warm and it will also give you the extra room since this is a stretch bag as well.

Or check out the Marmot Lithium 0 degree down bag.
http://www.backcountry.com/store/MAR1122/Marmot-Lithium-Sleeping-Bag-0-Degree-Down.html

Both of these bags will offer a ton of warmth and protection and you shouldn't have any problem at all being cold.

nice stretch!

By:
August 18, 2008

Finally I've found a bag I can get a good night's sleep in! Other mummies are too constricted for me - a side sleeper that raises one knee to waist-high. This bag is so comfy cozy cuz it nestles around you, but stretches where you need it to. So nice and lightweight too. The only thing is I would rate it at about freezing BUT I am a VERY cold sleeper.

Love this bag

By:

This is a seriously comfortable bag. The stretch is effective, I think, allowing you to move while minimizing airspace when you're still. The material also contributes to the comfort factor, making it a joy to sleep in. I think the temp rating is probably right on. I just spent 5 nights in the Tetons and one night it got down just below freezing, and I was comfortable in this bag inside a 3-season tent with just a lightweight wool layer on and without even fully mummying-up. I do tend to sleep warm, but I think with extra layers I could push below the 25 degree rating in this bag. It's wonderfully compressible, too, taking up so little room in my pack. So far, I'm very happy with the purchase.

What is the difference between the Sierra Designs "Arrow Rock Flex Bag" and the Montbell flex? Is the Montbell worth the extra money?

I haven't seen the flex of the montbell in person but the arrow rock flex bag has very little stretch, it's basically a gimmick. I've heard from many people (including on this site) that the montbell has a good amount of stretch. Montbell is also way higher quality and lighter and more compressible.

Stretch Limo

By:

This is my first stretch sleeping bag and I am very pleased with it. The baffle system keeps the down where you need it and the stretch keeps it close to your body without feeling confining. The material is like silk to the touch. I have only used it twice so far where it was in the very low 30s and slept warm in a light base layer. It certainly must meet its' cold rating. Packs up super small and light.

Really considering the U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 bag. It's between this and the Lafuma Pro 650 (30 degree - 1 lb, 7oz bag). Does anyone have more direction in this. I will be using the bag at 30 degrees (maybe even 25) and need to know that the ratings stand up even with someone who tends to sleep cold.
Also, my main concern is if the Super Stretch Hugger #2 is water resistant????

THANK YOU!

I would go for the Montbell over the Lafuma any day. Lafuma bag ratings tend to be optimistic. Do some searches and you'll find out they are about 10 degrees below where they should be. As someone who also sleeps cold, I would aim for the conservative side and choose something warmer than you anticipate to be safe.

hey there...i'm in the market for a sleeping bag for backcountry hiking and camping. looking for something relatively light...down...and i would call myself a cold sleeper. i don't anticipate camping in the winter...
i seem to be thinking that i want a 25 or 30 degree bag...does this make sense? i really don't like to be cold at night.... :)

This bag should suit you well I suppose. it really depends on where you do most of your camping and backpacking. In the northwest I would say great (U.S.). If you are camping in the southern part of the Appalachians, you might want a slightly warmer degree bag (30-40 ). If you are unsure, always go colder seeing as how you can unzip to cool off.

Almost Amazing

By:
February 11, 2008

The title pretty mush says it all, I bought this bag because it was light and packed small, but mostly because of its advertised "super stretch". I hate being confined in a tight bag so I went for it with this one. I have to say it wasn't really all I had hoped for. Really it doesn't seem all that stretchy. But when you get into it and start squirming around you start to notice that it really does do a pretty good job stretching, it really doesn't seem all that confining. I think I just got my hopes up a little too much, it isn't quite as stretchy as I had expected, but overall much more forgiving then a normal bag. Warmth wise this thing is hot. Granted my only use of it was 14 nights throughout the Patagonian summer and it never got down to the 25 deg the bag is rated, so I generally slept with the bag unzipped.

U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down

By:
November 25, 2007

I bought this sleeping bag because of it's light weight and all of the good things I've heard about it. When it arrived the first thing I did was to pack it into the included stuff sack and weigh it. Sure enough it weighed 1 pound 12 ounces, just as advertised, on my small, mechanical, postage scale. While I didn't use a ruler to measure the stuffed size I'm guessing that it's about 6 inches by 14 inches. The material it's made of is soft and comfortable making using this bag a pleasure. So far I've used it 3 times and been plenty warm. The night time temperatures were in the mid 30s the first time and the mid 20s the last 2 times. I wore a tee shirt and very light weight long underwear in each case and was plenty warm even though one of the colder nights was in an open shelter along the Appalachian Trail. The regular length bag is for people to 5"10" tall and you can believe that. That's how tall I am and I can't imagine anyone taller using a regular length. The stretch feature is great and makes for a good night's sleep for someone who moves as much as I do in their sleep. Next I'll try it in even colder temperatures. So, if you're looking for a light weight bag, that compresses small, and keeps you warm down to it's rating, this may be the bag for you.

Montbell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 Sleeping Bag

By:
May 26, 2007

This is my second Montbell Super Stretch Hugger down sleeping bag. I love these things. They compress down to the size of a Nalgene bottle, weigh next to nothing, and are of the highest quality. In addition to this, the "Super Stretch" feature of these bags is awesome. I get claustrophobic in standard mummy bags and definitely don't have that problem in the Montbell bags. I can stretch, spread my feet apart, move around and the bag lets me do it all. Long story short...they are a few bucks more than other brands out there, but WORTH EVERY PENNY.
