Comfiest, Loftiest, Most Spacious Sleeping Bag

Writing this review from inside the bag. I have used this bag for several types of adventure in a handful of different situations, including colder alpine mornings, casual camping nights, and even just lounging at home. To start with the features: • no zipper: I go into this a lot in the other parts, but the closure is a huge highlight of this bag. It almost feels like a quilt for comfort, but keeps you enclosed more. It vents well, and you can have it set up however you want in terms of how open or closed you want it. I never realized how limiting zippers were until using this, especially when trying to fine-tune temperature in the middle of the night. • Flaps on top: with the magnetic closure, they designed this bag with a top that layers over. You pull the left, then the right to close it. Honestly, this was super helpful for getting out because I could use it like how I wear jackets on cold trips and mountaineering ascents. I could have it fully open when warm, pull one side over to block wind and build some heat, I could pull both sides towards the middle to create a little air vent, or I could pull both sides over and really build the heat. Honestly I loved this feature. Way better than a zipper because instead of just being up or down or partial, I could vent random parts because it wasn’t closed tightly unless I buttoned up. It felt way more natural to adjust throughout the night without fully waking up. • foot slide out: sleeping bags with zippers, even double sided so you can zip from top or bottom, do not vent well. You almost have had to have a quilt for good venting. With this bag, it takes 2 seconds to get my feet out of the bag without having to use my hands or disrupt the heat of the rest of my body. Then if I want it out more, I can just slip my legs up and out of the full enclosure. This also gives me more space for my feet because I can keep one down in the slot and have one out the front. It’s way comfy and I don’t have a scratchy zipper rubbing on my legs. One thing I worry about is the stitch seams where you slide your legs out, and also where the top layer comes to the bottom. They seem like they could rip over time, but no problems with it yet. So far it has held up well through repeated use. • waist height button: I found myself using the bag without this button as it made the bag a little wider and overall more comfy. I did appreciate having it though because in colder weather, it kept things together more and made it feel warmer. Maybe placebo, but I appreciated having it, and being able to use it if I wanted. It’s one of those small features that you don’t always need, but are glad is there when conditions change. Moving on to the bag generally as compared to other bags: • I used this bag quite a few times for quite a few activities. From napping in it at home, to cold ascents outside, and longer trips. One specific trip I took this on was summiting a mountain in the Wasatch Range. The temperatures were below 0° at night and we slept on several feet of snow. The bag did its job well and kept me warm through the whole night. One thing that was really nice about this bag compared to literally any other bag was that because there is no zipper and the design is similar to a quilt, it makes it so easy to adjust and move around. It seems so big inside and I can roll around like in a lot regular bed without it getting all twisted. Then when I got cold at night, I could take my feet out of the bag without unzipping at all. • Whether sleeping on my back or side, it was super comfy and nice that I could move around so much. I haven’t found a reason to really dislike the bag. The exceptional venting makes it so you can legit sleep in this thing in any temperature down to its lowest rating without feeling trapped or overheating, which is something I’ve struggled with in most traditional bags. • Packing it down was crazy easy with the compression sack it came with. When I woke up in the morning, I lightly stuffed it into the sack, then compressed it down and it was super easy, and got so small. For how lofty it is when in use, it gets tiny when in the compression sack. This bag is honestly great for taking out on alpine trips, backpacking in cold weather, or even car camping when the temperature dips. Comfiest I have ever been in a sleeping bag, fell asleep in seconds after getting in.
