I got almost the same bag (mines a long, 15 degree model) and love it! It was pricey but the best money I've spent on my sleeping accommodations. I learned to just spend the money on good gear, you'll be much happier in the long run.

Thanks so much for the review! So helpful! One question for you on the compression sack you use... you mentioned the Sea to Summit dry bag... Could you let me know what size you typically use for your dry backs for the sleeping bag and other essentials? Also, do you have any comment on the quality of the Sea to Summit compared to other brands like Z-Packs and others the like? Keep up the great reviews!
@Redhawk03a 2 жыл бұрын
Nemo spec says the included stuff sack is 12L. So maybe the medium size (14L) sea to summit compression would be ideal

Great info on the sleeping bag. I’ve got a North Face synthetic bag that’s rated to lower temps than yours and it sucks. I get cold in it when temps get to 35 so normally I just take my 3 season down bag as it compresses way smaller. I’ll have to look into the air mattress you use as well as that Nemo bag. I use a Thermarest on top of a Thermarest Cot all under a Black Diamond Megamid (this is a light and large footprint, will accommodate up to 4 people if needed and only weighs about 2 lbs). Unfortunately I’m watching this at about 0730 in the morning so will have to wait another half hour if I want to have a beer with you 😆🍺. Great review as always.

Great review. Good timing as I'm in the market. One thing though, IPA isn't beer, its a silly english invention to provide sailors high alcohol drink on the long passage to India. Hence the name Indian Pale Ale (IPA). I recommend you stick to Pilsners, Stouts, Ales and Lagers and the leave the funny english drink to the to english.
@backcountryadvmoto 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info. I really do like just about all beers, but IPAs are just what I like more right now. Doing these videos has been great because it’s really making me try ones and look for those Ive haven’t had so if anything else it’s opening me up to new beers 👍🏻

I have. It’s my 4 season bag. In the summer you can unzip the “gills” and/or the zipper on the side deon the bottom. I’ve never gotten too hot and I sleep on an insulated hiking Matress. By far one of the best purchases I’ve made for moto camping

What size compression sack would you recommend for the long version of the Nemo Forte?
@lisarickmeyer2481 3 жыл бұрын
You said Medium, but unable to determine the medium size compression bag. I purchased the forte for women today in long and the included compression sack is next to impossible to fit the bag into due to the loftiness of the bag. I am looking for a compression sack this will fit in... is the one you got a 14L bag or the 10L?

How would you rate this against the Kellty cosmic 20 - approximately the same price. I’m trying to decide. Thank you! Great video!
@wjluke 3 жыл бұрын
Hey there - I had the Kelty cosmic 20 and returned it for this bag. I found the Kelty cosmic 20 to be far too constricting, acknowledging that it is a traditional mummy bag and that is by design for heat retention. However the "spoon" shape of the Nemo bag is essential (imo) if you're a side sleeper or toss and turn. I miss the compressibility of the Kelty cosmic 20 but I found the Nemo Forte to give me a better nights sleep and will be keeping it. However, I would highly recommend the Kelty Galactic 30 down rectangular bag. When the temp does not dip below freezing, that is my go to bag.
@anju2606 3 жыл бұрын
wjluke hey great suggestion at the end with the Kelly 30. Being newly introduced to the nature lifestyle I tend to see things along the way on videos and think that I need them. I was only looking at mummy bags because that’s all I saw on backpacker videos. I live in California where it doesn’t get too cold so a rectangular bag might be a great option. I had them as a kid and thought they were the choice of the inexperienced. To be honest I took my Nemo forte and ended up getting out of it completely and sleeping on top of it.

@jimmillington4652 4 жыл бұрын
Should’ve looked in your links below - Klymit Static V-Luxe. Looks great, but it’s pricy once it’s crossed the Atlantic - $s = £s plus a bit more on top. I’ll have to save up! 😉 In the meantime I’ll keep myself comfortable on my camp bed.

In the Video I was using the Klymat Static V Lux. I mention it in the video at 34:18 if you wand more info. Its great, but I just picked up a Big Agnes Q Core Deluxe that is 30x78 and its awesome! about 4 inches thick and still packs pretty small

For camping they are just some north face leg sip off pants. For moto camping they work great because you get pants and shorts in one piece of clothing. As far as riding pants go, they are the Klim Carlsbad pants. Not the brand new version but the last version
