sleeping bag recommendations

[ashtont]

i ended up sleeping one night in my nemo forte 20 bag in 32 degrees and woke up shivering and couldn’t believe it, wore 2 merino wool shirts with under armor heat gear tights and a pair of kuiu attack pants with a pair of the kuiu merino wool socks and my kuiu puffy jacket stuffed down by my feet, Anyone else have this issue? also what cold weather bags you guys running?

Just got a WM Badger. couldn’t be happier. It’s 1-2oz lighter than the Nemo Sonic 15 I’ve been using for 6-7 years but noticeably warmer.

I really like my Sierra Designs back country bed. For being a 20° down style bag, I’ve always been comfortable in it and I don’t have to worry about zippers.

Highly recommend Stone Glacier Chilkoot 0 degree bag. Super warm

I just picked up a WM versalite at REI, they are currently $576 shipped if your’re a member. They also have Kodak’s for $680. I went back and forth but the versalite is quite a bit lighter and packs a lot smaller, in the end I think it will be a more versatile bag for me.

I use and recommend the SH chillkoot 15. Used in temps from 40f- 10f in baselayers. Above freezing I typically have it unzipped. I think I could easily go to 0f with a few more layers on. My 2c

I made the jump from Nemo to WM and couldn’t be happier. Had it down to 14 degrees with sleet and snow this season and was cozy.

If you want a bag to work as a stand alone without a pad, SG chillkoot.

If you want your back to attach to your sleeping pad so you don't slide off a dozen times in the night, big agnes anvil horn.

Which is currently on sale:

Sleeping bag with no pad?!?!

 

[Snowhunter11]

You can apply aqua seal to you pad to help with floor/bag slipping

What pad are you using? A different pad with a higher r value can make a huge difference.

I use both WM and Taiga down bags. If I lost my WM today, I’d be going Taiga tomorrow. Quality and ratings are on par, Taiga is half the price.

Definitely not helping yourself. The cold from the ground you are laying on can be harder to insulate from than the air around you. If you find that combo comfortable at warmer temperatures than 40 try a more insulated pad when it gets colder. Even if you upgrade bags later you will benefit from the pad upgrade still.

I dont pack in far so I use a 7r pad. WM terralite bag. Comfy in light baselayers in the 30s. Unfortunately everyone sleeps differently on the cold/hot scale. You only find out by doing it.

 

[ashtont]

Yes
