Suisse Sport Adult Adventurer Mummy Ultra-Compactable Sleeping Bag

The Suisse Sport Adventure extra-small sleeping bag is ideal for long treks when a few inches or pounds can make the difference between a pleasant hike and an unbearable slog. The mummy bag is ultra-compact, compressing down to 12 by 7 by 7 inches when in the stuff sack. How small is that? Well, it’s petite enough to hold in the palm of your hand. That means you can easily fit the bag in your hiking pack without using up a third of your pack space. At the same time, the bag is warm and comfortable, with a 100-percent polyester ripstop outer and inner lining, a double-layer construction, and a 700-gram Micro Tekk.7 high-performance microfiber insulation. The construction materials ad up to a 30-degree F temperature rating, making the bag a good choice for summer, spring, and fall camping trips. Other details include a full chest baffle, a draft tube, and a utility pocket. The sportoutdoorsprices Adventure sleeping bag measures 29.5 by 84.5 inches (W x L) when open and weighs 2.9 pounds in the stuff sack. The bag is also machine-washable for easy cleaning.

The coldest I’ve used it was lower 30′s on a boat. The temp inside the boat was maybe 34. I was fine sleeping in shorts, socks and a long sleeve shirt. I’ve slept outside in a tent in low to mid 40′s with no issues. I would still completely trust it in 30 degree’s with a tent (and some wool socks!). I’ve also slept comfortably in mid-to-upper 60′s outside, as well as room temps indoors.

I used this bag for 2 nights in the smokeys and it was below 30 each night with wind blowing off of snow… This bag was perfectly warm, looks very nice, well built, fine zippers. It even compressed back into the stuff sack without a sportoutdoorsprices problem each morning so long as you took care to fold in half and then tightly roll. I would recommend this product to anyone. But then I actually tried it out. I slept outside all night when the mercury dropped down to around 24 degrees, and I was nothing but toasty and warm. The full chest baffle is a nice touch and helps a good bit, as do the dual cinch cords. The smooth-operating, two-way zipper allows ventilation for when it’s not quite so chilly. My only complaint now is that it’s a little long for me, which leaves a lot of empty space in the bottom of the bag, so it takes a little while for my feet to warm up. But, considering I’ve had this problem with just about every bag I’ve ever owned, this is probably more my fault for being on the short side.

So, first impressions aside, I’m very happy with this product. As the title of this review suggests, I have never found a bag this lightweight that works so well, at least not for less then $150. It’s lighter, warmer, and packs smaller than bags I’ve seen for twice the price. Highly recommended.
