Mountain Hardwear

Phantom Alpine Sleeping Bag: 30F Down

Great quality bag

I bought this sleeping back and the 15 degree bag. Both are extremely lightweight and high quality given the 850 down, so perfect for backpacking.

Overall

I have only used the product a few times but I feel as though I have a good understanding of the bag itself. The bag is very warm and needs nothing else until about the 40s. I am a warm sleeper so I need more heat than the next person. So I’ll wear long underwear or something else and I’m very warm well below 30. I love that there are three zippers on both side which allows me to stay in my bag and move stuff around in my tent. Which was the main reason I went with this bag to be honest. It is incredibly light and very small when packed. Which makes me worry about it’s durability. I know mountain hard wears stuff is supposed to hold together well. But only time will tell. I have not had any bad experiences with it. Additionally if you have the Ghost Whisper jacket. The part that tightens around the hip is also in the face opening for the bag which makes it really easy to open and close.

Super light and warm!

I?ve been really impressed with this bag. The materials used are super light while still remaining durable. The combo of lightweight Pertex materials with 850 down allows it to be warm while extremely compact. This bag has been in my pack for alpine climbs and compresses smaller than some of my down belay jackets. It’s become my favorite bag for alpine climbing. I use the long version.

Excellent Summer Alpine Bag

Used the 30 degree version for 5 nights on the Ptarmigan Traverse at the end of July and it was perfect. It takes a bit of practice and patience to figure out how to fully zip both zippers closed because the slim profile of the bag. However, the versatility the two zippers provide is game changing. This is a high quality product and the included compression sack is really appreciated.

Small if wide

Just got back from the weekend in the bag. Most of my other bags have run long due to the need to store gear at the bottom. I went with a regular on this bag. The bag is incredibly light! Love the colors. The duel zipper function makes everything from chores to venting an easy task. Plenty of foot room. Packs smaller than an MSR Reactor 1.7 liter. My one complaint is that it is a narrow bag. For reference I am 5'11" and 190lbs. Due to a broader set of shoulders I do find the zippers tend to get caught on the material unless I manage to get one arm out before I start the unzipping process. So overall love the bag, but do be careful if you are a little larger than the average mountain athlete.
