Kelty Light Year Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down
Kelty Lightyear +25 bag should be +35
By Durs Koenig
Ranked #1105 - 25 to 5 Degree Down Bags
September 5, 2006
The Kelty Lightyear +25 down bag is well constructed and with good features but is not a +25 bag in my opinion. At 10,000 feet in the John Muir Wilderness the temp only dropped to +35, no ice in the water bottle. In my bag inside a tent I had to wear my thermal underwear and sock and a hat to be comfortable enough to sleep. Even then before sunrise I was dreaming of letting others know that this bag really is not comfortable at +25. I am a warm blooded, in all my other bags I end up unzipping them, not sleeping in thermals. I should mention that the Kelty has a neat feature of being able to unzip the foot area to allow ones feet out or air in.
