Stoic Somnus 30 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down
Top-shelf performance, bargain basement price
By Eric bcskier
Ranked #37 - 55 to 30 Degree Down Bags
January 29, 2012
This is the same material, weight, and down fill used in the top-notch custom down brands- but for half the price. Get this on sale (this is discounted on most backcountry.com sales, and check Steepandcheap at the end of the season), and you'll never regret this.
I slept out under the stars in 20F temperature using this bag, and though I'm a warm sleeper, I was comfortable through the night. I plan on taking this along on my upcoming PCT thru-hike- the materials and workmanship seem entirely trustworthy.
Future designs might be able to lose some additional weight by using a lighter zipper and a lighter drawstring for the hood- but this is a great bag, and I look forwards to taking this on lots of adventures!
