Chilkoot vs Kodiak

[passinggas33]

Has anybody tried these two bags in a head to head comparison? I’m looking specifically at the 0 degree Chilkoot vs the WM Kodiak in the long version. So weight, size and temp ratings are almost identical. So I’m just looking at warmth and comfort. I’m a super cold sleeper and trying to find the “best” bag as possible for sub 3 pounds.

What say ye?

And there better not be crickets...it’s not like we’ve got that much other to do.

Also interested in this looking at both these bags in the same size

I owned the kodiak. It is a furnace.
Very roomy in the chest but tapers through the waist and legs.

I know these are both 66” in chest girth and I'm 61” around the shoulders with a 38” waste. Trying to figure out if either of these will fit me.

WM is made in USA. Chilkoot is not if that matters to you.

I used the 5 degree bag by WM last year on an elk hunt around 10,500 in mid-October. It got down to 10-15 degrees and I was warm. WM bags are awesome for warmth. I wish they made them just a little wider in the hip area for us "well fed" guys.

I have no experience with the SG sleeping bags. My wife and I have their packs and they are excellent though. I would imagine they make a quality bag.

We both have WM sleeping bags and they are incredible. Warmest thing I have ever slept in. It was approaching zero at the start of rifle season here. Wife and I camped. I had two bags - WM Versalite and Wiggys 0 degree bag. First night she had the Wiggys bag and was cold - I thought it was warmer. I was toasty in the Versalite. Second night I gave her the Versalite and thought she was being a pansy. She slept in a lot of clothes and said that she was so hot that she was sweating. I froze in the Wiggy's bag.

It didn't take me long to buy another WM bag. Went with an antelope.

I have not tested the Kodiak, but I have been running the Chilkoot for the last two seasons! The Chilkoot is by far the best bag that I have tested. I have taken it on some frigid cold late season Colorado and Montana hunts and have always stayed extremely comfortable!
