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.

Just got my Trailhead 20+ from Amazon for a great price--I was excited when came in (as they were out of stock). So far I like this bag and from other reviews, I expect it will hold up. As other reviewers commented, there aren't a ton of choices in the synthetic, light and reasonable cost category. I like synthetics because I have kids and that means they'll use (or better said misuse) them at some point and better to know you're not ruining an insanely costly piece of equipment, not to mention the wet factor. This bag strikes the perfect balance of everything thing from cost, weight to features. I received the bag this week and immediately wanted to test it. Thankfully we had some mid-20 temps recently, so it made for a perfect testing ground. When I went to bed, it was in the upper-30s and by dawn in the mid-20s. The details on prepping for the evening: I put on a dry base layer (long sleeve top, long john pants, fresh wool socks and a stocking cap). I also slept on an inflatable pad. I was thinking about trying a liner, but I wanted to test the bag for it's rating and that's what I did. More details on this test: - For size comparison, I am 6 foot tall and weigh about 195. I wear a 42-L jacket. I'm not a huge guy, but not small either. This bag comfortably fits me. - The inner bag material isn't slick or slippery. I was actually concerned about this, but it made it easy to move around because the bag stays with your body as you turn. - The footbox has plenty of room, so your feet can move around without feeling cramped or having too much area to move around. - I hung the bag from the loops when I got it out of the box and slept in it the next night, there were no cold spots to notice. Store with the loops if you can (read the directions for any bag for storage). - Really liking the mummy hood drawstring. My old bag has a shoulder and hood drawstring. This simplifies the process and doesn't feel like you're going to hang yourself in the middle of the night adjusting. - The temperature rating does seem to be fairly accurate. I was not cold at 26-degrees (which is what it got to during my test), but I would say that if I were going to go too much more, I'd add a liner. Seems accurate. - Comes with a stuff sack. - Read the care directions if you are considering it, e.g. don't put in a washing machine. Here's the deal, you want to go down and expensive, go that way. Want a synthetic that is of reasonable price and that comes as advertised, this is the bag. I'm interested to find out how it holds up over time, but from everything that I can see to date, this bag is going to be a great investment. Item is as advertised. Happy trekking. Will update as necessary as I use on the trail. --- Update 10/2016 I had a minor issue with the bag. I contacted Teton Sports and they resolved the issue immediately. Another great reason to buy this bag. I still like this bag a LOT.

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

Just had my first chance to use this in the field. camped out in my 3F UL Lanshan 2 ultralight tent in 6C (~42F) temps i the rain. Tent did its job in keeping me dry so I can't comment on the bags water resistance. For the bag it felt pretty thin (which it is a very light model rated to 20F) and it performed perfectly. I am 6'2 with a few extra pounds and fit OK for my width, and perfectly for my height up to the head area of the mummy bag. supported by a slim (<2") inflatable sleeping pad I was perfectly warm all night with it and entirely satisfied with my purchase. If it fits your physical requirements & budget this is a really great bag!
