The warm-weather REI Lumen +40°F synthetic sleeping bag features amazing compressibility and warmth and balances price and performance.

Synthetic Thermawave polyester insulation is durable and highly compressible; synthetic polyester fill retains some insulating properties even when wet
Shingle construction with overlapping layers distributes insulation evenly and keeps it from moving around so there are no cold spots
Equally distributed insulation accommodates the multiposition sleeper; mummy shape is thermally efficient, yet roomy enough to ensure sleeping comfort
REI Lumen +40°F sleeping bag has a relaxed fit through the shoulders and hips, giving you room to move for a better night's rest
Ripstop nylon shell fabric has a nice hand feel, and is lightweight, durable, water- and abrasion resistant; nylon taffeta lining is soft and tear-resistant
Shell fabric is treated with a Durable Water Repellent finish to repel moisture and stains
Contoured hood, insulated full-face muffler and full-length zipper draft tube with ground-level seams work together to keep heat in and cold out
REI Lumen +40°F has an external chest pocket to keep small essentials—headlamp, watch, glasses—right at hand and easy to find in the dark
Special pocket in hood can be stuffed with clothing layers to make a pillow that stays in place; no need for a pillow to take up valuable space in your backpack
Pad loops provide attachment points to keep your sleeping bag and pad together to avoid rolling off onto the cold ground (straps and sleeping pad sold separately)
Full length zipper is backed by wide, antisnag binding tape
Any REI backpacking bag can be zipped to any other REI backpacking bag because of the consistent 63 in., No. 5, YKK zipper; women's bags zip on the right, men's on the left
Differentiated drawcords (1 round, 1 flat) allow quick identification, even in the dark, so neck and hood adjustments are a cinch
Nylon stuff sack and cotton storage bag included
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

Imported.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:

I bought the long bag and it still compresses down to the size of a football. I am 6 foot 4 inches and the length fits me fine. The only con I would mention is that there isn't a lot of side-to-side room once you are zipped up. Definitely not going to fit two people in there. I picked this bag because it fit me so well, but you may need a little more room. Recommend you try it on at REI before you buy. For the money, this was a great deal. The bag is a +40, so it's not made for cold, cold weather. I bought a fleece liner for colder trips. I love the pillow pocket and the wallet pocket too.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:

I scored a great deal on this bag (under $100), and couldn't pass up the opportunity to add a warm weather bag to my pack.

At 6'0 185, I fit easily lengthwise into the bag. The torso area is roomy enough, though the legs are fairly tight.

I found the bag adequately warm in 38-40 degree nights in Michigan's Pictured Rocks NL. Conditions were extremely windy and rainy and I was sleeping in a Sierra Designs Light Year 1 with fly.

The bag packs small for a synthetic, and fits easily into the tiny bag compartment of my Deuter Futura 42. The Women's Lumen 40 (which has much more insulation and weight), just barely fit. Weight is reasonable, fairly light and certainly suitable for backpacking. The bag seems well constructed and the zipper was relatively snag-free.

Cons: It stays wet "forever." Make sure you have protection from the rain.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:

First off I am 6'2" 220 lbs. I got the long size, which I think is just a little too long. I sleep on my side, and at my size in this bag I feel like I want to turn into the incredible hulk and just rip the thing apart when I'm trying to get comfortable. I feel very constricted trying to move around and adjust and have had many sleepless nights in this bag. If you are smaller, it might work great for you. At my size though I dislike this sleeping bag. As for the temp rating, I would say it's off. I'm only comfortable in this bag on nights where it's 60+. At 40 degrees I am freezing in this bag and definitely not a happy camper. One night it dropped to 35 and I was in 2 jackets, thermal pants, pants, and two pairs of socks on top of an insulated mat and it barely worked. This is a summer bag strictly. Look into something better for more use.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:

I bought this bag about a third of the way into a summer road trip (the Southern US part was the first third). I still ended up splitting time between this and my summer (+55) bag/liner (and combining them at points), but man would I have suffered if I didn't decide to pick this up. This bag kept me warm everywhere we went. I used it in the 40's with ease, and combined it with my liner for for the nights in the 30's at Crater Lake and Yellowstone. With both those bags, I was a little warm with it zipped all the way at first, but slept very comfortably. I'm 6' 5" and the long version of this bag is plenty long enough to stretch out. I am thin though. Using it with my liner it did get a bit cozy, but not even close to the point of discomfort.

I look forward to many good trips with this bag.
