Mountain Hardwear  Lamina 15 Sleeping Bag - Women's

I am an Outdoor Instructor and an avid thru hiker and I use gear like this for both work and fun adventures. I ordered the Lamina in a regular size, and at 5’7’’, it’s a good fit. There is plenty of room throughout the bag, particularly in the toe box. I used this sleeping bag on an overnight trip in western Massachusetts and the Lamina construction definitely kept me comfortable and warm all night despite the 30-degree temperatures outside. I didn’t feel any cold spots all night! My only real criticism of the bag is that it’s kind of heavy, especially for backpacking, since it weighs a little more than 4 pounds, but it’s great for camping! It is also a great option for anyone who has an allergy to down or prefers not to use it!

I’m a yoga instructor, trail guide, community scientist, and environmental educator. I need my gear to hike, camp and practice yoga. 5 stars I’m 5’7” and ordered a regular. It fits well and is spacious. I love the striking color of the sleeping bag. It’s a really comfortable sleeping bag. The Lamina construction makes the bag feel really cozy where I need warmth, and I especially love the extra support and warmth behind the neck and head. I used it for an overnight where the temp only got to 34 degrees. Using only a summer sleeping pad along with it, I stayed nice and warm. It’s a great bag for camping but does pack a bit heavy for backpacking at a weight of 4lbs 1.9 oz. It’s good for shorter expeditions or car camping.

Great sleeping bag for cooler weather. It is soft, warm, water resistant, easy to zip, and easy to pack away.

I have used this bag for two weeks straight in the desert in nights ranging from just below freezing into the high 40s. The bag is great - soft and cozy - if it's about 40 degrees or warmer. Any colder than that and the bag isn't warm enough for me without a second sleeping bag. I'm convinced this is due to the cut of the bag and not the material - the girth around the shoulders and neck is WAY too big. I am fairly thin, but I could fit another person in there with me, which means all my heat leaks right out. I also wish the front of the hood was a little longer instead of so close to the top of the bag, where it's hard to keep it over your head to help keep the heat in. I do love the double draft collar on the top and bottom, but it's not enough. If you have a giant puffy to stuff in your bag and fill the space there it helps, but I think a 15 degree bag should easily keep you warm in 30-40 degree weather. From the hips down it's perfect - usually my legs get cold in bags that aren't warm enough, but that doesn't happen in this one. One other note on sizing: the long version of this bag is very long. I'm 5'8" and it feels like it's 6 feet long. My toes haven't been cold though even with the extra space. This bag is meant for car camping; it's too bulky and heavy for backpacking.

I am the author of the Falcon Guide to Vanlife and Hiking Wyoming, so I spend a majority of my time hiking trails, backpacking, and living outside. My gear needs to be tough, multi-use, lightweight, and hopefully not take up too much space (to stay in the van). I travel mostly around Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. I give this bag a 5 out of 5 stars, it’s warm, comfortable, and comes with its own compression sack. ALL bonuses in my sleeping bag book. I am 5’6, normally wear a medium, and the women’s regular fit me well. This sleeping bag kept me warm easily into the ’30s, and if I had colder temps to use it, I’m sure it would perform well, especially with a beefy sleeping pad. My favorite part of this sleeping bag is the feel of the inside. When you’re already warm, I don’t like wearing layers in a sleeping bag, but. Also usually hate the feeling of the bare bag against my skin. Not this one! It’s cozy! The other thing I love is the included stuff sack. Often times a sleeping bag will come with a bag to store it, but not an actual stuff sack to use it with. Taadaa — one that guarantees fit, and you don’t have to go searching as you pack for your next backpacking trip I’m liking the Thermal.Q insulation (80 percent recycled polyester, 20 percent polyester) and didn’t notice any hot spots even after plenty of nights under the stars. The installation is centered around areas you need it the most, so this bag feels warmer than most. This product is ideal for car camping, or shorter trips. It’s a little on the heavier side so carrying it for a month at a time might be out of the question.
