This Mountain Hardwear® three-season 20° bag's expandable draft tube adds versatility.

  • Soft Thermolite® Extra fill is engineered to provide 3-dimensional, springlike loft for superior warmth with minimal weight
  • Performance-cut mummy shape saves weight by reducing girth at shoulders, hips and lower legs
  • Quantum Expander allows unparalleled versatility; zip it up for a snug, technical fit or unzip it for eight inches added girth, yielding a roomier bag
  • Offset quilt construction means no sewn-through seams and no cold spots
  • Four-panel contoured hood with down-filled face gasket forms around head to seal in heat
  • Warmth is optimized through differential cut of shell and lining fabrics, allowing adequate room for the insulation to expand to its full loft
  • Trapezoidal footbox keeps feet from being scrunched and allows insulation to loft fully for added warmth
  • Insulated draft tube backing two-way, full-length zipper and insulated zipper gusset seal in heat
  • Anti-snag construction prevents fabric from catching in the zipper; locking sliders keep the zipper in place for customized ventilation
  • Tie-in loops stabilize Mountain Hardwear 3D Upgrade Liner, sold separately
  • Comes with stuff sack

Imported.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Switch +20 Sleeping Bag - Long:

Though not the lightest weight bag out there, it was lightweight enough for me. I can't understand the rationale behind paying an extra [$] or so for a bag that is half a pound lighter...anyhow. I'm 6' 4", roughly 230 lbs., and this was the only bag I tried that fit me decently. The added girth zipper on it is great - it's the only way for me to sleep comfortably. With it unzipped, I didn't feel any drop-off in warmth like I expected. Out on my first trip out with it (4 day/3 night) it worked well for me. Any condensation at the end of the tent that got on the bag did not seep in at all. We made camp one night at almost 6,000 feet and was nearing freezing temperatures at twilight. It could've been colder - I slept great. I bought the Switch at[$], so it's a great deal to get it now at[$]

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Switch +20 Sleeping Bag - Long:

My first use of the Switch +20 was on a week's backpacking trip in Dark Canyon, Utah. We experienced torrential rain, thunder, lightning,
a flash flood on the bottom of the canyon. One morning we had ice on the inside of the tent as well as the outside! We were always warm and comfortable. Bag performed when partially wet, as well.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Switch +20 Sleeping Bag - Long:

This bag served its purpose well. I am 6'3", and I fit perfectly fine inside this long version of the sleeping bag. The extra girth adjustment zipper is a nice feature, if you are a wide individual. The only gripe I have is that the zipper snags easily. It doesn't cause any damage (as there is anti-rip material) , but I wish the zipper moved as easily as the one on my wife's North Face Woman's Snowshoe 0F bag. It has stiffer, anti-snag material around the zipper compared to the Switch +20. All-in-all a good bag for the clearance price!

    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Switch +20 Sleeping Bag - Long:

    Great fit. I'm 6'0" and wear 40R jackets. I liked the long better than the regular b/c of being able to turn while you sleep. My feet were at the very end of the footbox in the regular. The two way zipper allows you to stick your feet out the bottom even though there is no zippered footbox.
