Good bag for mild-warm weather

By Radio Backpacker Ranked #512 - Sleeping Bags June 30, 2009

I was looking for a decent warm weather bag that was light, packed small, and a good value. Caught it on sale and decided to give it a try. I have used this bag a few nights at a time over a few weeks. It was too warm for 75 degrees and got chilly with just shorts on at 45 degrees. With a long sleeve shirt and bottoms, it would probably do fine at the rated 40 degrees. It does not have much loft and I would recommend using a lightweight sleeping pad since it is thin. Construction quality seems to be decent. I noticed some "down feathers" floating around the first few days of use but it was probably just loose down from assembly. Pack size is about 5.5"x10.5" and weighs about 1lb 7oz (23oz). With a different compression sack, it could possibly stuff smaller. The zipper has a florescent grip that glows nicely in the dark. For what this bag is, I could not justify spending three times as much for a different brand bag for casual usage. Hard core ultralight backpackers may want to go for something else smaller and lighter but for lightweight guys or hikers on a budget, it is great.
