Don't Buy It

My boy and I bought a Kelty Chinook 0 degree bag several years ago that we have loved. However, my boy’s bag got destroyed in the washing machine. So, I wanted to get another bag with similar quality and bought this Kelty Light Year for him last Christmas. All year long he kept complaining that he was cold in this bag, unlike the previous Kelty Chinook 0 degree bag. His last complaint was a Boy Scout camp out about 2 weeks ago. I decided it was time to fix the problem. So, I called Kelty and they were very, very reluctant to acknowledge there was a problem and then to fix it.

On the other hand, the guys here at Backcountry.com were willing to let me return the bag with a full-refund, if you can believe that! So, I’m shopping right now for a replacement bag, and most likely it will be a Mountain Hardware bag, but definitely not another Kelty.

So, if you’re out shopping, don’t buy this Kelty Light Year if you want to stay warm!
