MontBell U.L. Alpine Down Hugger #3 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down DO NOT USE

Item #MTB0041 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

An excellent alternative...

By Ranked #112 - Sleeping Bags May 30, 2007

This review can help anyone who is also looking at other montbell down huggers with different temp ratings. I got the #3 regular (5'9") and when i tried sleeping on it I woke up cussing the sleeping bag for being so tight in the middle of the night. The stretch bands inside the sleeping bag don't stretch that much and you have to look very carefully at the dimensions of the down huggers as they are much smaller than the super stretch bags. So do I do? I order a large size and the girth is perfect. The weight of both regular and large were accurate down to the .5oz. Both bags were pretty well stuffed and I have no doubt that it will keep me warm down to 30F or lower. Not quite as puffy as Western Mountaineering sleeping bags but they definitely have their place in my pack!
