The Kelty uses synthetic at the footbox because that portion of the bag is what usually rubs up against a wet tent wall and synthetic will perform better than down when wet. It's actually a really great design feature.

That Kelty Cosmic looks like it’s popped and has been deflated. You should put a Western Mountaineering Ultra lite 20F beside it to demonstrate the quality differences and what real ‘loft’ is.

You already know what that comparison would be, ha ha. Granted I didn’t give the bags a lot of time to loft after pulling them out of the bag, but the Kelty still is my least liked of this bunch. Good value though.

I’ve owned the 550 power fill Kelty Cosmic 20 it will keep you comfortable down to 20 F. The 800 pf Ultra doesn’t perform as well for its weight, but though the second bag on the list had better loft, it hit the limit at Kelty’s comfort rating.

Interesting video. I kind of skipped from 0 to 100 on my bag and quilt selections. I went from Coleman to Big Agnes Lost Dog to a Sea to Summit Ember ll quilt and a Western Mountaineering Versalite 10 degree. Sometimes I wonder if I paid too much for the Ember and the Versalite… but then I use them.

I hate mummy bags! They are so confining. I make my own bags. (See builds on my channel, Tom Loves DIY. I start with a packable down throw. About 6 oz of 700 FP down. I add insulation- down and a bit of Climashield Apex synthetic. Just finished a bag. Added about 9 ounces of 730 FP down. Synthetic and reflective blanket material in the foot-box. No hood on this version. Tested at 35F in Linville Gorge. Warm with a good base layer and hat. Thanks for bringing great information to us. Love your channel.

The Bishop Pass punches way above its price. I don't go out a ton during the winter but wanted something I could trust that didn't break the bank as I really am mostly a 3 season camper so i ended up grabbing the -18c version on sale. I've had it out 6 or 7 nights in the winter here in Eastern Canada down as low as -15c and been very comfortable. It packs down really small if you buy a compression sack.

I snagged the bishop pass 0 degree bag on sale in November from REI at about 250 bucks. I've used it several times at around 30° Fahrenheit and am toasty warm. It is a bit bulky so I bought a sea to summit eVent dry bag compression sack, large size, and I'm strapping this to the top of my pack. Works well.

@yadyadya289 8 ай бұрын
@@shaneb395 Originally I was using a 12L compression sack which was pretty tight. I ended up switching to a 20L compression sack mainly just so it was easier to pack up in the morning. I'd it compresses down to somewhere around 8-10 liters So something between 12 and 20 liters it likely ideal.

The term budget is always subjective. Google down sleeping bags and the majority of them will cost around 300 dollars with some models going for 700+ dollars. So 300 dollars is budget in comparison to the 500-700 dollar bags.

I've been completely satisfied with Moosejaw in all my transactions which have included the Western Mountaineering Antelope (5ºF) Sleeping Bag with Gore Windstopper outer fabric + they had the best price, & they had the size SMALL with right side zipper + the Thermarest Trekker chair.
