Fabulous bag for side sleepers.
I was so excited when I read the reviews and description of this sleeping bag. I am a side sleeper and have found my other mummy bags restricting and hard to sleep on my side. I was so comfortable and impressed with this bag. It kept me extra warm. I liked having a stuff bag to pack the sleeping bag into as well as a storage bag when left at home. I’d highly recommend this sleeping bag!

Cozy but zipper issues
I have the same complaint as some others about having gendered zippers. It doesn't make sense when other companies offer the choice of zipper on the left or right, especially if you're emphasizing that your bags can be zipped together. You're alienating your queer customer base. I've seen those comments from years ago that you're "doing something about it". Do better, Nemo. Not to mention that once I did actually zip my Forte up with another Forte (men's endless promise), my zipper was several inches longer despite both being the long size. And after my first trip, the material in the heat vents has caught in the zipper, rendering it useless. Great idea (we did use them) but poor execution.

Great upgrade from my previous bag.
I was looking for a sleeping bag that would keep me warm in upper 30/lower 40 degree weather, wasn't as constricting as a mummy bag, and had a zipper that wouldn't get stuck when I was trying to get out of it. The Nemo Forte definitely checked all of those boxes. I used it on my last camping trip and had the best night of sleep I've ever had camping. The separate storage mesh and compression bags are also nice to have. I had some trouble stuffing into the compression bag but my husband had no trouble at all. I definitely recommend this bag and the male Forte bag.

Women’s Forte
Absolutely love the women’s Forte spoon bag after years of struggling to sleep in a mummy bag. The only downfall, and one that continues to bother me, is the right-side only zipper. Please make a left zip option! I want a women’s specific bag, but I sleep on my left and it is awkward with that right zip and is the only thing that keeps this bag from being the best ever.

Sending Back
So that my major organs don’t have my weight on them, I sleep on my left side. Mountain Hardwear bags give you a choice for zipper. I gave the bag a low rating because of the zipper. The quality looked good.

Love, love, love this bag
I have always been a fair weather camper and I think I will do more cool weather camping with this bag.

Great sleeping bag
This bag is super warm and very easy to slide in and out of. It packs down very small, and feels as insulated and comfortable as a down bag. Great purchase!

Great bag
This is a great bag, love the side sleeper design. If I were sleeping fully stretched out the regular bag length would just barely fit me at 5 foot, 7, but because I sleep scrunched up on my side this has never been an issue.

the BEST sleeping bag ever!
I used this on a backpacking trip to Alaska, and it kept me warm and comfortable during all the nights. It was protective against the rain, cold, and condensation in the mornings. It even got wet during a kayaking trip and stayed warm! I had some of the best sleeps I've ever had camping in this bag, so much so that when I had to sleep on an air mattress for a few months when I got back, I used this sleeping bag instead of blankets. This is an amazing sleeping bag and the most comfortable one I have ever used. Totally recommend -- worth the price

I’m a Woman and I have a Men’s forte 20 regular ( love it and the colors) Is the zipper compatible with a Women’s Forte 35? I’d like to create a double bag with varying temperature side. Also the colors are just extra cool.

How do I fit the sleeping bag into the attached carrying sack? I guess I'm asking, "How to I compress the bag? and what is the smaller piece attached to the sleeping bag carrying sack - it is a bowl-shaped piece of fabric attached with 4 straps.

When it says the sleeping bag fits up to 5'6" does that leave room for a 5'6" person to stretch or will my feet hit the end of the sleeping bag and make me feel like I'm trapped in a synthetic cocoon of death from which there is no escape?

What is the difference between the Forte and the Tempo? I see the zips in the front, is that it?

I’m 5' 7” do you suggest a regular or long in the Forte and Tempo. Don’t want to be touching the end of the foot box and feel cramped.

My daughter has the nemo viola and wanted to get one for my other daughter. Did the Forte replace the viola or which style is most similar.
