Small but mighty

Lafuma X650 Pro Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic

Lafuma X650 Pro Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic

Rating for this product: 4 November 5, 2009

Pros:
-This bag is excellent quality and feels smooth against skin and not clammy or sticky. Sleeping inside with no shirt on did not leave me uncomfortable.
-Packs up super small and had a great quality stuff sack that can be used as night time hanging storage in a tent while the bag is in use.
-Would be a perfect addition to a survival kit, or in an overnight bag for unplanned stays away from home

Cons:
-I would never use this bag in 40 degree weather. The loft is not nearly enough to provide adequate warmth without wearing supplemental layers inside
-this is a one season bag, that season is summer!

The short and sweet of it

Arc'teryx Miura 20 Backpack - 1221cu in

Arc'teryx Miura 20 Backpack - 1221cu in

Rating for this product: 4 June 23, 2008

I cannot say enough for the quality of this pack, absolutely great construction with great quality nylon and zippers. The length is a bit short for my build but not so bad once you get used to adjusting it. It really is deceiving how much it holds, truly 10 lbs of S*** in a 5 lb bag with this one. on a recent business trip I and my associate had similar gear to pack and his bag was twice as large as mine to fit it all. easily fit my laptop, Leather folder, Arc'teryx covert hoody, Arc'teryx Theta SL shell, my 80gb Zune in a pelican 1020 microcase, Sony PSP, Blackberry, Sunglasses in a case, extra pair of socks, and all my boarding information. It was pretty full at that time but not anywhere close to pushing the seams.

Pros:
-Roll top is a great feature and the side zippers that run the length of the pack make packing a breeze
-adjustable and movable gear straps on the outside are great for holding a sweatshirt on weekend travels as well as a coil of rope when they are moved to the top of the pack
-internal frame is a refreshing feature on such a small pack and what led me to purchase
-fits fantastic in overhead bin on an airplane
-Yellow interior reflects off of a headlamp so items at the bottom can be found super easily in the dark

Cons:
-Pack is very short and takes some doing to find the right adjustments to make it work (I am 6ft tall at 200lbs with muscular build)
-shoulder adjustment straps are a nice idea but with a pack so small they don't offer a whole lot of use
-Made in Philippines

Overall I recommend this pack for its superb quality and good use of fabrics and strapping, but keep in mind if you have a larger build you may be disappointed.
