Any decent non mummy bags?

[Adam Gibbs]

I can't seem to be able to get comfortable in a mummy bag with my legs so close together to be able to sleep well. Does anyone make a decent rectangular sleeping bag that isn't overly heavy? I'd prefer synthetic insulation as well.

Check out Big Agnes or quilt. Enlightened equipment. I have a convert and use it in quilt mode almost all the time.

Wiggys, kifaru body bag

I got the Sea to Summit base camp last year. Seems like a decent bag, I got the down model but they have synthetic available also.

maybe check out nemo bags. they've got a shape that is meant to give you more legroom.

Nemo Forte is what you're describing

Nemo Forte is what you're describing

they also have a new bag called the steelhead 20 if you're on a budget

Keep in mind that with a more rectangular cut, there is more room in the foot area(that's your intention) and therefore more space to heat or keep heated resulting in a colder feeling bag of the same temp rating. I have this issue as I prefer the non-mummy bags as well.

I have the same problem with mummy bags. I feel like I am being wrapped in plastic wrap. I tried a Monte Bell and with the stretchy material I was comfortable but still had a mummy type bag.

What temp will you be using it in? I have a Kifaru BBB and I enjoy it down to about 35 degrees. It packs super well, uses Apex insulation, and I've slept myself dry in it multiple times this past season.

Feathered Friends and Western Mountaineering both have down options

Also looking for a non-mummy bag in a 0-15 degree, since I sleep cold, and don't want a quilt. I know EE has the Convert that may be an option. Thus far Nemo, SeaToSummit, and Big Agnes are the three non-mummy options that stand out the most. I'm leaning towards a Nemo but was really wanting a non-mummy at or under 2 lbs but can't seem to find one.

There's a reason they're called Mummy bags. I don't see
how any body sleeps in those things. I went Big Agnes.

NEMO bags are excellent for side sleeping and wigglers. I have one of their spoon shaped bags and am very comfortable sleeping in it as a semi-side legs more open than together kind of sleeper.

+1 for Nemo

I too am not a mummy fan, I can’t hardly sleep much feeling all claustrophobic. I went with Big Agnes bags that also come with pad sleeves which are a definite game changer if you are any bit of a wiggler like myself.

You could always have Nunatak make a custom bag to your desired specs.

Another vote for Nemo bags. Most comfortable sleeping bag, I've owned

Western mountaineering makes some nice semi rectangular extra wide bags .. much more room to move around in through the waist and shoulders and a bigger foot box. I bought the sequoia last year because I can’t get comfortable in the regular mummy style bags— you can actually side sleep in them but they are down and not cheap. Also tried a spoon shaped bag from Nemo but it was not as comfortable IMO

I also have the sequoia and really like it. If the OP isn't dead set on synthetic, I would recommend looking at the WM semi-rec shaped bags. If outside moisture getting to the down fill is of concern, check out the GWS outer membrane option on the WM bags.
