For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

With smart goose down insulation distribution and a waterproof shell, this cold-weather bag is warm, weatherproof, and very compressible.

  • Goose down is efficiently distributed for maximum warmth and comfort—800-fill-power goose down on top and 700-fill-power goose down underneath
  • Ultralight nylon shell features Gelanots® waterproof, breathable coating for superior weather protection
  • Vertical Baffle construction lets the goose down remain fully lofted and keeps it from shifting and migrating, preventing cold spots
  • Vertical Baffles also prevent down from shifting to the sides and keep more down on top of the bag where it keeps you warmer
  • Exclusive dual Regulator zippers adjust temperature as needed—fully close both zippers to increase warmth, open inner zipper to decrease warmth
  • Multi-chambered hood and contoured, insulated draft collar seal in heat; trapezoidal foot box increases comfort and provides more space
  • Relaxed fit from hip to knees increases comfort by providing space to move around in
  • Includes nylon stuff sack and large cotton storage bag

Imported.

Good bag temp rating way off

By squidman

Cons

  • Not Warm Enough
  • Zipper Snags Easily

Best Uses

  • Cold Conditions

Comments about REI Kilo Expedition -20 Sleeping Bag - Short:

Very good bag, agree with reviews with one MAJOR caveat. There is no way this bag is EN 'comfort' -20F/-27C. That MUST be the extreme temperature rating (this bag is not EN certified). I found it good to -17C (-12C in tent) albeit with silk liner and wearing down jacket and extra layers. I don't normally sleep cold. It is very lightweight if bulky. So for winter camping where temps not extreme a great deal - but where really cold temperatures are expected, spend the extra 300 bucks on a proper bag. Did I mention it's CHEAP? Would give it 5 stars for price and down to -15C. 2 stars for misleading advertising...PS I have the 'regular' version...

By Asian Chick

Pros

  • Adjustable Hood

Cons

  • Bulky
  • Zipper Snags Easily

Best Uses

Comments about REI Kilo Expedition -20 Sleeping Bag - Short:

I am usually always cold. The bag kept me warm while climbing Kilimanjaro.
The zippers catch onto the liners making it hard to get in or out quickly.
Also the bag is light but bulky taking up a lot of room in the backpack.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    My go-to bag for overnight winter backcountry trips. Great bag for the price relative to other brands. I sleep cold and am usually comfortable even on the coldest nights wearing a fleece layer.

    Comments about REI Kilo Expedition -20 Sleeping Bag - Short:

    i'll start by saying that this bag should be compared to bags of the same caliber. My dad went out and purchased the -40 western mountaineering bag and was not happy. He then barrowed mine, the kilo and was much more pleased with the roomyness as well as the bag kept him warmer than his $700 bag. Further more the kilo is water resistant and i have personally slept in it on a frozen beach with only a big agnes insulated air pad and expedition weight thermals on 10 dagree outside temp.this is a great bag period.
