    • NOW PLAYING

    Creating standards of comfort with the EN testing, the Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32°F sleeping bag maximizes warmth while minimizing weight and bulkiness.

    • Tested by an independent third-party lab using European Norm protocol, the EN temperature ratings allow direct comparisons across brands with other EN-rated bags
    • Insulated with superior European 800-fill-power goose down, blended and lab-certified in the United States
    • Warmth is optimized through differential cut of shell and lining fabrics, allowing the goose down adequate room to expand to its full loft
    • Performance mummy cut features a snug overall fit that positions the down insulation close to the body, maximizing warmth and minimizing weight without restrictiveness
    • High-tenacity nylon shell is lightweight and tear resistant; fabric is treated with a Durable Water Repellent finish to repel moisture
    • Box baffle construction maximizes loft and minimizes weight; 5 in. baffle width keeps down from shifting, so cold spots are prevented
    • Tuck-stitched baffles (sewing method that keeps all threads hidden) prevent threads from snagging and breaking
    • Multi-baffled, tailored hood lies close along the sides of neck and face for easy warmth
    • But when it's cold enough to cinch down the hood, the down-insulated face gasket snugs comfortably and holds in warmth
    • Ergonomic draft collar drapes comfortably over neck and shoulders, blocking the escape of heat and sealing out drafts
    • Shape of Multi-baffle Comfort Foot Box allows feet to rest naturally; it also preserves loft and allows down to drape close to feet for warmth
    • Full-length, 2-way zipper with locking sliders stay in place when bag is partially unzipped for ventilation
    • Insulated draft tube with antisnag panel extends to bottom of bag to eliminate cold spots along zipper
    • Insulated zipper gusset seals in heat at base of zipper
    • Comes with mesh storage sack and stuff sack

    Imported.

        Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        I used this pack for 700 miles of the PCT, from mexico to the sierra's.

        it was plenty warm, woke up many nights with ice on my pack outside my tent. was still warm.

        i sleep on a prolite plus short mat, in a tent. i wear capilene while sleeping, with this mix i was comfortable bellow the rated temp, woke up at warner springs with 4 inches of snow around and was still warm.

        obviously it is down, so drying it out in the sun is very important. it feels lightweight, but it never did snag.

        in 2011 i will likely carry this pack right on into the sierras, and maybe as far as oregon, i am VERY impressed with it.

        Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

        I bought this bag for an AT thru hike I'm planning this summer. I liked that it was very lightweight and packed small. I've taken it out on a few trips to Big Bend NP and Guadalupe Mnts. NP where the night time temps got down to the mid 30s. I'm typically a warm sleeper but have not gotten a decent nights sleep with this bag yet even with wearing long underwear and a down jacket to bed.

        The quality of the bag is great. I plan on using it as a summer only sleeping bag. The temp rating in my opinion should be somewhere around 45-50 deg. Maybe using a thick liner and a ground pad with an impecable R rating, you could use it in colder temps. But then why not just get a warmer bag and not have to worry about the liner and a thick ground pad?

          Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

          This is a great lightweight bag. I've used this bag in conjunction with a Thermarest Prolite 4 sleeping pad down to 30 degrees and I've always been very toasty. I've traveled with this bag to Zion, Guadalupe Mountains, and Big Bend National Parks and many places in between and it has never let me down. I love how small it packs down to and how light it is. It packs to about a little larger than a Nalgene bottle and is super light in my pack. Got it on sale at REI and it is worth the money. I've always used this bag with an insulated sleeping pad and a tent.

            Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

            I used the bag for car camping in the pacific Northwest and some short backpacking trips in the Northeast at night temperatures down to 35F while wearing only a base layer.
            The bag packs very small and really kept me toasty (and I'm a cold sleeper!). I like the full-lenght zipper which allows me to use the bag as a blanket in warm summer nights. In humid environment the insulation deteriorates rather quick (compared to my old 700-fill bag) so make sure that you can dry and ventilate it every day.
            The baffels are somewhat underfilled and the loft of the ground layer is generally only about 2/3 of the upper layer. So if you are a side sleeper and want to exploit the bags full temperature capability make sure that you can rotate within the bag.

              at 5'11" and 185 i fond this bag to be very roomy. I was able to stretch my legs as far as i possibly could without hitting bottom. the hood cups your head without using the draw strings. I don't think I would be comfortable at 32 degrees in this bag though (i never get the comfort rating out of any bag though), i recently took it out and it was about 38 degrees in the morning and my bare legs got a touch cold. nothing an ultralight fleece thrown over my thighs didn't cure. my feet were never cold. all in all great performance for the weight.

                Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

                I've used this sleeping bag for overnight running trips and ultra light backpacking In Alaska. I've also used it for a three month West USA bike tour. within a month of buying it i was camping in a tent in this bag and wokeup with 2" of snow on the tent top and ground and I wasn't cold or even layering with a sweater in the bag. This bag is great if your using it for specific uses. Don't get it if you're car camping or camping occasionally. On long trips you need to at least vent it each day you use it (at least every 2 days) because the down shrinks from ambient body moisture. (It's the same as all but more severe w/ 800 fil). If I'm not going far I use my winter bag because it's more comfortable, but If I'm doing somting more serious I'll bring this bag. I've packed it so much from bike touring but the down still fluffs up nearly as when I bought it. After drying in drying machine it's virtually as fluffy as new. It was great for the bike tour. I would recoment this bag to somone who's got ambition for fast human powered travel, and $.

                  Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

                  I've used this bag now on multiple hikes. Remember, this is a 32 deg sleeping bag! Not a 20 deg! It is great for summers and cool nights in the 40's. I have not been out when it has been 32 deg yet with this bag, but since I am a cold sleeper I would probably take my 20 deg anyway during conditions at or below freezing.

                  This bag folds up into almost nothing and weighs nothing! If you get cold in it, that's what long johns and jackets are for. I have yet to get cold in this bag but have only had it in the 40 deg range.

                  Will be testing it more thru-hiking the PCT.

                    This bag is great. I have used it in the UT desert in the winter and high in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. Packs super compact and light. It is rated for 35F, but I certainly pushed it to 20F and was fine. Love this bag.

                    I got this bag on sale + used my dividend to take the sting out of the price, but it was well worth the money. this bag packs super tiny/light and has plenty of room (i'm 6'2" and was very comfortable in the large size). The rating on this bag seems pretty solid - i was a little too warm with a base layer when temps got to the high 30s/low 40s.

                    Comments about Mountain Hardwear Phantom +32 Sleeping Bag - Regular:

                    Used multiple times on Mt. Rainier at 11,000ft. Slept out in the open on El Dorado summit with this bag. Mt. Adams at 9000 feet in early season it was still perfect. For climbers, you're wasting a lot of energy/weight by carrying up big 0 degree bags in the summer. Get something like this, and wear the warm clothes you are also bringing and 90% of the time you'll be fine.

                    Zipper seems to suck on MH bags, but it's not a big deal. The thing is tiny packed up, some down coats weigh more than this, but it's very warm once you bury yourself in it.

                    When temps get closer to 0 however, this isn't enough.

                    It does have some abrasion on the shell, so I hope it lasts a while - it just looks cosmetic now.
