      Comments about The North Face Allegheny +40 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

      My wife and I bought two of them for travel in East Africa. We camped about 2 weeks out of a 3 week trip. The bags zip together, which is good for a couple. We were warm enough even on chilly nights at 8000 ft (45 - 50 F). The bags are light and stuffed inside our backpacks, which was good since we were mostly on public transportation.

        Comments about The North Face Allegheny +40 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        Purchased two bags, one long and one regular, for myself and my wife for car camping and backyard camping in a 3-season tent. Tested both bags over two nights during a period of unseasonably warm and dry weather, with official overnight temps of 63 F. at our location, actual temps probably not lower than 55 F. While initally comfortable in terms of roominess, the bags are so lightweight that they will not hold their position, even on a flocked mat. After turning over a few times one winds up wrapped in the bag like a sausage, at which point it becomes difficult to move arms or legs despite the generous dimensions of the bag. Most importantly, the bags simply didn't keep us warm, depite the mild ambient temperatures and even though I was wearing sweats and my wife was wearing flannel pajamas. It appears that without an additional liner or additional clothing, the bag simply doesn't live up to its +40 F. rating. We are disappointed and will be returning the bags.

        Good price but not warm enough

        Comments about The North Face Allegheny +40 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        I bought this because I needed an inexpensive sleeping bag that I thought would be suitable in mild weather (Spring and Summer in the Pacific Northwest). It was clear that this sleeping bag is not up to that task. It claims to be good down to 40 F, but my last outing I was wearing two layers of cloths in my sleeping bag and the temperature didn't drop much below 50, but I was still freezing in it at night. It felt like there was no insulation.

        I also didn't like that there isn't a hood on this bag. There is a drawstring, but you have to really entrench yourself in the sleeping bag to get the top part over your head. Bottom line is that this bag isn't designed to keep you warm. It is best for warm summer night camping.

        I am grateful that REI has such an awesome return policy. I brought this bag back and invested in The North Face 'Cat's Meow'. Hopefully it will do the trick.

        Comments about The North Face Allegheny +40 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        Both my boyfriend and I have this bag. It is my warm summer bag and only gets used when temps aren't going below 55. Anything below that and I have to layer up in long underwear and socks and sometimes my windshirt just to stay warm. I can save weight by bringing a warmer bag and sleeping in tank top and shorts comfortably through the night. My boyfriend had to layer up in long underwear and windshirt when it got to 45 and had a fitful night's sleep. I was surprised about that considering he requires less insulation than me to stay warm at the same temps! For the price the bag packs small and is great when the nighttime temps are mild, but don't count on it keeping your warm to the stated temperature without lots of layers or a liner. At which point, you are better off investing in a warmer bag and leave the extra layers and liner at home.

          Comments about The North Face Allegheny +40 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

          I have been using a 1984 vintage 20 degree North Face Cat's Meow, but I needed a smaller bag for kayak camping. This bag is so much smaller and lighter that I was skeptical it would be warm even in the 50 degree range. At 54 degrees it was quite warm just wearing a tshirt and shorts. I like the roominess of the rectangle bag over the semi-retantagle or mummy. At 5'8" I was able to sleep on my side and even pull my knees up. It easily pulls over over my shoulder to snuggle down. I'm sold.
