Mountain Hardwear Phantom Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

Item #MHW1492 | 7 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Nice bag, but doesn't keep me warm enough

By Ranked #602 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags June 23, 2009

I have the women's version of this bag. Bought in 2007. The loft is great. No problems with the zipper. Quality construction. Granted, I am a cold sleeper, but when the temps fall below 30 I have struggled to stay warm in this bag, and when they dip to the low 20's, I am COLD. I had a Sierra Design 20 down bag prior to this. I had always been happy with it, but the Phantom was a pound lighter, so I swapped bags. Many a cold night on the AT in March and April had me wishing I had carried the extra weight. I'm still giving it 3 stars, because it is a well made bag, and might be just fine for those who do not sleep cold.
