The Full Review
I bought this bag because it has a great temperature rating (35 degrees F) for spring, summer and fall camping. I've used it at the Oregon Coast, Mount Hood National Forest and sleeping in my car. I have stayed comfortable and warm in every situation. There is plenty of room within the bag so it makes shifting and turning during the night very easy. You can tighten the hood to your face for extra warmth, or unzip at your feet to allow air in.
It comes with a compression sack that packs the bag down nice and small. It's not too heavy either. It's a keeper!
The Good:
- Warm
- Light/ packs small
- Adjustable hood
- Small chest pocket
- Dual zipper for desired ventilation at feet
- Great color combo!
The Bad:
- It's a bit long for me, but I knew that before I bought it
The Bottom Line:
I chose a synthetic bag due to down allergies but I don't regret it - it's proved to be warm and compact! Highly recommended!
