I bought this as a summer bag a few days ago and just took it out for the first time. Comfort rating is "39," temps only reached ~50 but the bag was very warm, so I would guess that is accurate. Although it is by no means an ultralight piece of gear it fit nicely into my backpacking bag, compressing much smaller and being only 2oz heavier than my climashield synthetic quilt from EE. It is spacious and thus great for anyone who feels claustrophobic in a regular mummy bag. I am 6'2 and fit comfortably in the long size. BE WARNED the 30 degree version (at least) does not feature the neck pillow shown in the video and some marketing images. Very comfy nonetheless.
When I recieved the order, it was 80% duck down and 20% duck feathers! Smells cheap and bad, plus I’m allergic to feathers. How could I be mislead like this? Expensive doesn’t it mean it’s quality! Not the MHW I used to deal with. « Down » was written in the description.
I mostly do late spring, summer and early fall dispersed camping. My old north face 20 degree bag was way too hot for that even unzipped. So I sold it and got this great bag! I really like the super durable ripstop fabric and the dual zippers. It’s super roomy and comfortable. The poncho function looks cool too. I have only had it on one trip that got down to the lower 40s (where it’s comfort rating is) and without longjohns or a sweater/hat it has comfortably warm. It’s a much better fit for what I need. Happy with my purchase overall!
This has been a great, new sleeping bag for me this spring. My favorite thing has been the overall design and layout, namely having the addition of the partial zipper on the other side. Being able to adjust that is great for when you're just getting settled or relaxing in the tent, but also regulating temps. The zipper design seems to have also improved compared to previous MH bags my wife and I have used in the past. I also love the cut for a 30º bag, since there's no real need to have a mummy-style bag during moderate temps, but it still has some shape to conserve weight. Lastly, I also like the choice of fabrics, especially the more durable ripstop fabric on the bottom. If I had to change one thing, the phone pocket is slightly too small to fit my iPhone 11 Pro (with a slim silicone case). It's not a deal breaker, but I was looking forward to having a nice spot to keep my phone warm at night, but I guess I'll just continue keeping it under my pillow for now.
great configuration on this bag--shape, size, zippers. it just needs more down to reach its full loft and close up the gaps in the insulation. very disappointing. i would buy another one in an instant if they fixed this problem.
This bag is versatile, warm, soft and affordable! This bag has a lot of fun features which include an open zip for your feet which transition the bag into a blanket. My daughter loves it!
This bag is awesome for multiple sleeping positions and I'm looking forward to trying the open toe box with my hammock. Seems like it will work as a combination under/over quilt.
This is a great car camping sleeping bag. Love that I can open the toe box. One star deducted as I am flummoxed as to why a smaller stuff sack is not included.
So this is not my go to camping bag, rather it is my go to RV, Car Camping and travel bag. And for that, it’s perfection!
It would be great if you guys gave a small bag to stuff the Yawn patrol
