Know before you buy
Yes, it is rated for 0°F, making it suitable for cold-weather camping. The offset quilt construction and insulated draft collar are specifically designed to trap heat and eliminate cold spots, though your personal warmth preference and sleeping pad insulation will also play a role.
The bag weighs between 4.75 and 5.19 lbs depending on the size. While it is not an ultralight backpacking option, it is highly compressible and comes with a compression stuff sack to help you pack it down efficiently for your trip.
Kelty designed this bag with an expanded, roomy footbox to allow for natural toe movement, which helps alleviate the cramped feeling common in traditional mummy bags. However, if you are a very active sleeper who needs a lot of room to roll, you may still find the mummy shape more restrictive than a rectangular bag.
The recycled Cirroloft Eco synthetic insulation performs better than down when damp, meaning it will retain its loft and warmth even if it gets wet. It is a more durable and affordable option, though it is heavier and bulkier to pack than a comparable down bag.
The bag features an anti-snag zipper treatment specifically engineered to prevent the fabric from catching in the zipper track. This ensures smooth operation when you need to get in or out of the bag quickly in the dark.
Yes, there is a convenient internal zippered stash pocket located inside the bag. It is designed to keep small essentials like your phone, keys, or a headlamp secure and warm, preventing your battery from draining in the cold.
