The long REI Halo +25 down sleeping bag offers the perfect balance of low weight, premium materials and top-tier performance—a great choice for 3-season backpackers and ultralight adventurers.

  • Features premium 750-fill-power goose down insulation, a downproof, partially recycled ripstop polyester shell and lining
  • Exclusive REI Down Fill Calculator optimizes the amount of down per baffle for the most warmth with the least amount of down
  • In-the-round design and baffle spacing allows the goose down to remain fully lofted and keeps it from shifting and migrating, preventing the onset of cold spots
  • Contoured hood, face muffler, trapezoidal foot box, full-length, anti-snag zipper, and full-length draft tube with ground-level seams all keep body heat in, cold air out
  • External chest pocket keeps essentials—headlamp, watch, glasses—right at hand and easy to find in the dark
  • Differentiated drawcords (1 round, 1 flat) let you adjust hood and neck easily in the dark
  • Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together, so you needn't worry about rolling onto the cold ground (straps sold separately)
  • European Norm (EN) comfort rating allows direct comparison with comfort ratings of any other EN-rated bag
  • Comes with stuff sack and large cotton storage bag

Imported.

    Comments about REI Halo +25 Sleeping Bag - Long:

    I just camped for two nights in Oregon where the first night got down to 16 degrees, and the second night down to about 22. The sleeping bag did great. I was in a tent, and had ground tarp, and then a Thermarest closed cell full length pad, and a big wool blanket under my bag. Wore long underwear, wool socks, wool hat, and wool top. I did not cinch up the head hole in the sleeping bag (any more than it is by default). I slept through the night and woke up comfortable, but not hot. My impression is that I will be ok in this bag down to temps in the teens. Below 10 and it may not be warm enough. But, I get cold fairly easily, and so I'm pretty excited that this bag (rated at 25/23 degrees) worked so well in temperatures nearly 10 degrees lower.

    One little thing that's not obvious about the bag is the cool little zippered pocket up near the top, where you can stash say chapstick or your headlamp, or whatever you might need.

    My only slight criticism is that, for me, the bag was a bit narrower than I'd like in the calf section of the leg portion. I fit in it just fine, but I'd have liked maybe another 2 inches of width to move around a bit more. It didn't seem to bother me in the night at all, just noticed it when going to sleep. That's not a big enough reason to not give it 5 stars.

      Comments about REI Halo +25 Sleeping Bag - Long:

      I was looking for a bag to replace my 45 degree bag that wasn't enough for even summer trips to the Sierra's and chose this bag over the Mtn. Hardware 32 degree bag. And i'm glad I did, the [...] had only about half the loft and feared it would be warm enough. On my first outing it got into the mid 20's several times and I was perfectly warm and didn't need to wear every stitch of clothing. Just some light thermals and a t-shirt, I removed my fleece hat because i was too warm. This is the perfect 3-season bag. I'm sure i'll keep my zero degree bag but only if i'll be sleeping on snow. Thanks again REI for another quality product that didn't break the bank account.

      Comments about REI Halo +25 Sleeping Bag - Long:

      Overall, I was impressed with the bag and its performance. I like the fact that the Halo comes in long (the regular was definitely too short--I'm 6' tall) and with a right zipper option.

      The bag is comfortable and very warm. In fact, it's warmth is one of two complaints I have--I used the bag on a week-long backpacking trip across Catalina Island and it was too warm during nights that were in the 50s-60's. I slept with it open most nights (and decided I needed a cooler bag for summer camping!)

      My other commplaint (though not a strong one) is that the bag does not stuff down very small. It definitely needs a compression sack to get it to compress down for backpacking. Also, the zipper snags at times, which could be problematic since the material is thin.

      However, these complaints are only minor ones--overall, I'm very satisfied with the bag and anticipate many years of usage.

        Comments about REI Halo +25 Sleeping Bag - Long:

        First of all let me state I like to be toasty when I sleep. Unfortunately, the EN comfort scale must have been developed by people who like to be near freezing while they snooze.

        I bought this bag right before a camping trip in early May. Even though the I was on a pad, using a sleeping bag liner, and the temps never got below the mid 30s, I froze.

        Maybe there is a trick to keeping warm in a down bag that nobody has told me, but I am not at all impressed with this product.
