Best none mummy backpackable sleeping bag

[hoodoo406]

Like the title says. I absolutely hate mummy bags. I currently have a SG Chilkoot 0 degree bag.

I absolutely hate it. I'm the type of sleeper that has to have my legs stretched. The mummy bags just aren't for me.

I'd rather pack a little extra weight in a bigger bag than deal with this SG anymore.

Anyone else deal with this, and found a replacement back packing bag that is a little larger at the leg section?

I really like my Big Agnes Anvil Horn. Has more room then a traditional mummy bag but isn’t as big as a full rectangular bag.

I've been looking for a ultra light down quilt if you have a recommendation

Not ultralight but the Zenbivy light is probably as comfortable as you can find paired with their sheet. Still takes some getting used to coming from a bag.

Thanks for the response, I'll check those two out! I'd like to stick with a bag for now, I tried the quilt and wasn't a big fan.

The Western Mountain Badger is very roomy. I am a side sleeper and love this bag. Wide in the shoulders as well.

Zenbivy is what you want. It is not a “quilt” as others are. It is the most comfortable sleep system on the market.

Was in a similar place a few weeks ago. I got a zenbivy light 10 degree en route.

Im a side sleeper that needs room. I dont need a super warm bag so I went with the 20 degree terralite from western mountaineering. Only a few nights in it, but very happy so far. I think it will keep me warmer than the rating states

With a properly rated pad they are still one of the only true comfort rated bags we’ve tested.

Meaning you will be comfortable down to the stated temps with their bags not just “survive” a night in it.

They also do LE/Mil discounts - just contact them and provide proof of service.

I hate having my feet restricted in a mummy bag. That said, for years I used the Teton Trailhead 20F mummy bag. It was cheap and has a much wider foot-space than most (and it's comfortable down to maybe around 40F which covers most of what I'd face as a casual camper/hiker in the Pacific Northwest). My absolute favorite lightweight, non-mummy bag though is the Kelty Galactic Down 30.

I'm a side sleeper too. I usually leave my chilkoot half zipped and wear a puffy or other insulation on top.

For reference I’m 6’1” 250 with a 53 regular suit jacket size.

I’ve been very happy with my WM terralite. I had it overstuffed to a 15 degree rating and have used it for the better part of 15 years.

They now make a cloudlite that’s basically the same size as the terra but a 15.

I have a zenbivy lite setup but I went with a full sheet. Also went with the biggest size they have. It's hands down the best sleep ive ever had from a "bag". I don't think you'd be disappointed. Im 6'2" and 220lbs and have never felt cramped for space.

That is a nice looking bag for only weighting 2-1/4 lbs. Not cheap, but roomy and a great temp rating.
