Outdoor Vitals Atlas Hybrid 0° Sleeping Bag Review, By Casey Streepy

[lyle_destroys]

I've been mulling these over for while. At 6'2" i need a long. The hybrid saves me $50 over the 100% down on zero degree temp ratings. Anybody have advice to help get me off the fence?

I'm wondering the same thing? Any experiences with both?

There’s a few guys who have used them in this thread...

They didn’t compare the down vs. synth though.

Fantastic review. I really appreciate the background and other factors such as additional clothing and changes. Very helpful!

I live in WA and we get a lot of moisture. Synthetic will save your life in very wet conditions, in my opinion its worth the extra weight and size. If you are worried about weight and room in your pack go with down.

Why do you prefer synthetic to down for this particular hunt?

I went with synthetic because of the season dates and the possibility of bad weather that the area is known for. Down is nice at times but to me it isn't worth the risk in bad weather. If down gets wet in those conditions your options are hypothermia or hiking out.

Thanks for the review

I am leaning in this direction but for the 15 degree bag. Any updates or additional thoughts?

I’m still impressed with this bag. I’ve used it on several more trips and I plan on taking it on all 3 of my late season hunts this year. I’m not a fan of the center zip but that’s my only complaint.

How did the bag do? Thanks

Still holding up with no issues. I have yet to get cold in it, I've been in weather down in single digits but nothing below zero yet.

The zipper stops about 18" from the bottom.

Thank you, sounds like a winner to me! Zero is too dang cold for me!
