Mountain Hardwear  Bishop Pass 30 Sleeping Bag - Men's

This sleeping back is perfect for hiking or car camping. It is super warm, keeping me nice and toasty, and lightweight. It includes a compression sack for backpacking (or space savings) and a stuff sack for general storage. It is higher quality that other sleeping bags I have owned or tried. It has a good shape around the head area, to keep my head warm. Pros: Warm, great space saving size when in compression sack, high quality. Cons: The zippers were a little tough to move at first use, but they are fine now. Not really a con per se, but rather an observation.

This sleeping bag did the trick. It kept warm, and provides plenty of room for me (5'11 - 205). The biggest positive was the zipper. This may seem odd, but I have been thoroughly impressed. It glides easy, and it's the only zipper on anything I own that has never got caught on the material. Overall, this is a good bag. It's not terribly compact, but I recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable sleeping bag to use car-camping or in the backcountry.

I ended up testing this bag for camping in my back yard with my kids instead of a planned trip, but I still came away impressed. I didn't really need a compact lightweight mummy bag for that but it performed superbly in my Minnesota spring nights. I think the low was in the high 40's and I was never uncomfortable in a single layer of light wool long underwear. I was particularly happy with the zipper refusing to snag and the relatively well placed hood adjustments. The cheerful yellow inside was a nice touch since backpacking gear can be kind of gloomy, especially if you get stuck inside during storms. I wanted to test more of the features so I packed it up and did some park hikes to get a feel for how it would pack down. In short, it packs down super small and weighs what a $500 bag did 10 years ago. I'm 5'9, 210lbs and found the found bag reasonably roomy given that is a lightweight mummy cut. The footbox was definitely generous for me. My wife doesn't have a matching version so I didn't get to try out zipping bags together on a couple's trip but the option does exist. I think this bag is a steal at the list price and highly recommend it. I own four other bags and this is my new favorite for solo 3 season use.

First impression of the bag is sturdiness. The fabric seems thoroughly durable. The zipper has a nice robust heft to it, and a reassuringly confident sound. The bag sizing is ample. I'm 5'10" and 180lb and fit easily into this bag. There's plenty of room in the shoulders and arms, just a little tight in the knees, but more than enough length to flex and wiggle my toes. My guess is that this would still be comfortable for someone 6'2" or so. Bag is plenty warm, though I've not had a good brisk night here in Tennessee to test its limits yet. In 50-degrees F nights, I've been too hot, so I suspect it will do well in cooler temps. For convenience, the bag has some good and bad. The hood closure is easy to control with one hand. There's a handy phone pocket on the inside. The zipper slides easily from one hand while inside, except for my one complaint: One of the four pad loops keeps getting stuck in the zipper. One occasion was so thoroughly stuck that I couldn't resolve it till the morning light.

Soft, comfortable and warm. Great sleeping bag

Bought this with the Women's Bishop pass 30. They zipped together great, and gave us a lot of room. perfect temperature for a cool fall evening. Came with a stuff sack and with a storing bag. Hard to go wrong with Mountain Hardwear

So light, so warm, so smooth. Used it camping in the boundary waters

took this out on an overnight backpacking trip. the weather was cold and rainy. highs mid 40s and lows around 30. for starters I love the new zippers I am seeing on sleeping bags from multiple manufacturers. zippers snagging have always been an issue for me. the new design works well. I liked how light and compact this bag is. it is a very simple stripped down sleeping bag. no bells and whistle just a simple sleeping bag. the temps got down below 30 in the night but I stayed warm. I did notice that if part of your body pushed against the bag on top or side it would get cold. im assuming this is from compressing the down. over all a simple bag that would be good for someone wanting a light compact bag. the only problem I had with the bag is that it is extremely narrow and does not give you any wiggle room. I am a slim person and had trouble zipping bag all the way up due to the tightness of the bag

I was excited to finally use this sleeping bag for 2 nights on a 3 day backpacking trip. Although, I was worried that it wouldn't be warm enough since I tend to like warmer bags than the forecasted temperatures. I already had a -40F and a 15F ultralamina, and I usually don't camp below 20. So this 40F bag was new to me and I had high expectations for it. The first thing I noticed was how light weight it is and small it packed. Likely because I have 2 synthetic bags and this is 650 Down. My other bags would easily take up half my bag (50L Osprey). It's a much nicer color (according to my girlfriend) and has an internal pocket that I used for my flashlight. It was going to be around 40F one night and 36F the second night, so it was going to push the lower limits of this bag. I brought an emergency bivy for some extra insulation and I always use a silk liner, so I wasn't too worried. My experience was positive, and for me this bag was just enough to keep me warm. On the first night I was cozy, and the second night was a little colder but I was able to sleep just fine. The limits of the bag a 40F Comfort / 30F Limit / -1F Extreme. I'm 6'3" and was able to fit in the regular, it was a little snug I still had room in the footbox and my hood when in mummy mode. The long version would be 6 inches longer, and if you like to pack a water bottle in the footbox or like having a little more room than try out the long version. The bag can also be connected with a second bag to make a couples bag, the zipper also allows you to open from the footbox up. I'm happy with the regular for the slightly smaller pack size and weight, and since I'll primarily be using this bag in warmer weather. Overall I'm happy with the bag, and my girlfriend who's 5'7" was impressed with the warmth and feel. It's a cozy bag.

This bag will do the trick for summer backpacking trips. I was comfortable and warm above 8,000 ft in the Sierras in July. I would recommend a smaller stuff sack than the one provided to save space in your pack. I am 5’11” and the long is even a little short for my liking. I also have wider hips and it is a little snug, which makes it hard to snuggle up in the fetal position. The glow-in-the-dark zipper pull is a nice touch! Overall, this is a good summer bag, but for taller ladies I would maybe recommend the men’s bag.
