Kifaru Slick bag with LPP

[valtteri]

If you are in Sweden, have you checked out Cumulus sleeping bags? Down sleeping bags - cumulus.pl

It’s a Polish brand that’s been in business for a long time. People value their quality and decent pricing. The bags can also be customized online pretty much anyway you want. Since they’re inside the European Union, you won’t have to pay any taxes or anything.

I have their Teneqa 850 bag that has a comfort rating of -14C or 7F. I’ve taken it down to about -15C/5F in just my base layers and been toasty so at least for me their ratings seem spot on if not conservative. Have not had the bag for too long, but my experiences with it so far have been very positive.

I will add that I have been shopping around for a 0 degree bag. I would love to be able to afford a WM bag, but I think a 0 degree slick is more in my price range. Have you been happy in terms of quality and durability with your 20 degree?

The Kifaru slick bag is really great. Temperature rating is spot on for me and i am a pretty cold sleeper. Very generously sized. At 6'3"- 180, I have no issues with a regular length bag. If I am not mistaken, on the newer slick bags, they seem to have cleaned up the velcro. My bag is a little older and has some sharper corners. I believe i saw a slightly newer version that had the velcro cleaned up a little. I wouldn't hesitate to get the 0 degree though. I'm just doing my best to keep my pack as light as possible. I'm really sold on synthetic though. Of course a nice down bag would give me a much better weight to warmth ratio, I really like the ability to crawl into the slick bag with wet clothes. I know that aspect to synthetic may get oversold, but it is a feature i put a lot of value in as i tend to hunt the seasons that can be a little bit more wet.

Something like this is a decent bet for sleeping near an open fire :

I actually have the Seek Outside BT2, which can be pitched in that exact configuration.

Does one side zip off all together on the BT2? Not trying to sell you on that shelter, cuz I'd personally rather have the bt2/silvertip, but it has a heat reflecting material on that inside. I am considering the LBO, and running the base for milder weather and the tarp plus 2 bases for the whole family. Kids are soon big enough!

The BT2/Silvertip just zips up to the top on both sides so you can create the large opening. Would just need to tie back the section or stake it out. I havent slept in front of a fire so I always just closed her up. The only reason i chose the BT2 and not the LBO is because i can set it up really quick when i am shutting it down for the night. LBO seems way more versatile.
