Gear Review
Light, comfy, warm
By David Clucas
Ranked #313 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags
August 16, 2006
I have the fortune of living in Boulder, CO where Montbell has their U.S. retail store and I can go in and explore.
I had never heard of them before, but now I know they make the BEST lightweight sleeping bags.
The stretch system is a cool feature for someone like me that moves around a lot at night. It's also cool when you want to sit indian-style in your bag.
The #2 also has three drawcords that are helpful to control temps. There's one for the hood, one where your neck is (to cinch a layer of extra padding and keep the heat in) and one at your feet.
These bags are very light and keep the heat in well. However, I would say that Montbell ratings are a little off. The #2 says 25 degrees, but I would say it's more of a 30-degree bag. Still not bad, considering its so light and I don't mind wearing an extra layer to bed if it gets chilly.
