Why We Like The Forte 20 Sleeping Bag

In addition to such a thoughtful feature, the Forte 20 also boasts ventilation, a comforter-like draft collar, and even a spot to keep your pillow. Now when you go camping you can give new meaning to the term "home-away-from-home."

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
