So light!
By David Clucas
Ranked #678 - 55 to 30 Degree Down Bags
August 16, 2006
This bag so unbelievely warm for its light weight and size.
When stuffed it's smaller than a football and barely weighs a thing.
I use it for mostly for summer camping in the mountains at altitude in Colroado, so the nights can be cool, but this bag has kept me confortable anywhere from 65 to 35 degrees.
Montbell says the rating is 38, but I'll admit that you have to put on some layers on to make it that effective. But once you do that, the heat stays in. It's all worth it, considering how light and small this bag is.
The stretch system also 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.
If you're consistently going to be in cooler nights, try Montbell's #3 or #2, but they will be a little larger and heavier.
The #4 is the best lightweight summer (early fall, late spring) bag you'll find.
