TETON Sports TrailHead Sleeping Bag for Adults; Lightweight Camping, Hiking

For the price, I'm very pleased. I used this camping sleeping bag to tackle the West Coast Trail. It's fairly lightweight (1.4kg) but the quality is superb. It keeps you warm in temperatures as low as 5C. The internal material is soft but it's still synthetic, therefore light and water resistant. I kept the sleeping bag in it's case (which isn't a compression bag) then placed it inside a garbage bag to ensure that it wouldn't get wet while hiking. This worked brilliantly. I'd recommend as an everyday sleeping bag (very comfortable) that's also light and warm enough to take during multi-day hiking trips.

I took this sleeping bag for 2 night camping tip at elevation of ~6000 feet. Temperature in the early morning was around ~45 F. I was wearing a thick hiking socks and thermal leggings for legs. and feet. On the top, cotton underwear, Omni Heat long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt and another long sleeve shirt. I had to put one by one because i wasn't able to sleep. The first night was miserable. Second night, fortunately for me, one of the families had to leave after one night so I borrowed one sleeping bag from them and had to cover on top of mine to sleep. I don't know if I am cold sleeper or not but definitely not able to sleep around ~45F in this bag. After this camping trip I am suffering and recovering from flu. I have another camping trip planned at the end of this month and expecting a similar temperature or even lower. I won't take this bag again.

This is a very nice sleeping bag that is comfortable, lightweight, and very portable for backpacking. While it's not the thinnest or lightest, it is a great value and a very high quality product. I bought two of these - one for me, one for my wife - and we have used them in both car camping with my child and also back country backpacking. This bag works great and I am very happy with this purchase. Here are my thoughts: 1. The 20 degree rating is a survival rating. For comfort, add about 20 degrees - call it a 40 degree bag. If it's going to be warmer than that, you can leave the bag partially unzipped. If it's colder, you will need a base layer to help you preserve your body heat. 2. This bag works fine for me as far as size - I'm about six feet and average build. There's plenty of room for my feet (which stay good and warm by the way) as well as tucking in your head if I choose to. I normally leave my head out and just wear a cap if it gets too cold. 3. The bag is very durable. We have used our bags numerous times and there have been no problems with the zippers or the construction. 4. There's no need for a compression sack - this compresses pretty small as is. Again, we love these. It's not the lightest, the most insulated, or the biggest brand name, but it is very good and durable for the price. I highly recommend this to my fellow backpackers without hesitation.

Was freezing in 12c weather; adding a fleece liner helped a little. But overall, not recommended for camping in cold weather.

I camped on Dartmoor at -3 and was very cold. This bag is more suited to about 0 degrees I would think.
