AEGISMAX Outdoor Ultra-Light Goose Down Sleeping Bag Three-Season Down Sleeping Bag Mummy Down Sleeping Bag Green

This is a comparison review of this Aegismax mummy bag with the Naturehike rectangular down bag.Over the past year my partner and I have upgraded a few bits of our camping gear. Getting well-made, compact, and lightweight sleeping bags were on the list. We have pretty decent synthetic-fill summer-weight bags from a major brand, that have about 5yrs of use. Going to down-fill was the obvious path, and recent offerings on Amazon have shown that good-quality down products are available from smaller manufacturers at lower prices than the outdoor equipment market has seen before.My wife wanted lots of foot room and a full dual-slider zipper to poke her feet out if it is warm. Naturehike's rectangular bag has met her needs very well this summer. The penalty for the roomy rectangle is about 4oz (compared to the Aegismax mummy) which is very reasonable. They could reduce the weight by at least an ounce if they put a light-weight zipper on it; instead they used a full-size YKK zip that will be reliable for years, without needing the light-touch that much ultralight gear requires. It is warm and cozy, with a cinch cord to draw the top opening together if it is particularly chilly. The advertised temperature limits seem to be reliable guidance. And the glossy water-repellant finish on the outside of the bag should help deep the down dry in the event the sleeper presses up against a tent wall damp with condensation. The compression stuff sack is made from a heavier nylon that will stand up to regular use.I have found mummy bags to work fine for me, so I purchased an Aegismax (size large, I'm 6'/175#) last year and really like it as a integral part of my ultra-light 3-season kit. Compared to the Naturehike, the shell fabric is finer, almost gossamer, but the tight thread count keeps down from poking out. However, I do seem to find a feather or 2 loose about the tent each morning; I don't know how they get out, but they are coming from my bag somewhere. Pulling the mummy hood around my face works well to maximize heat retention, but I have yet to have it out in the 40s to need it. True to ultralight design priorities, the zipper stops mid thigh, so getting in and out requires a bit more movement. And the zipper is well-made but rather light; I have to slide it more gently and slowly, being a little careful to not catch the bag fabric. The compression stuff sack is made from the same fabric as the bag shell, which is perfectly adequate but requires a bit more care in handling.Going to down-fill bags has reduced our sleeping gear volume by 1/2, and reduced the weight by 1/3. These 2 bags have met each of our priorities very well, and we wouldn't change our purchases. You can tell in the comparison photo that the Aegismax is more compact, in proportion to the weight savings. Cinching down on the compression straps makes them both even smaller! But if size/weight are not the priority for you, maybe some extra creature comforts will guide your decision. Either way, you can sleep cozy!

Ich habe den Schlafsack jetzt 5 Nächte lang ausprobiert.Die isolationsleistung ist echt gut. Bei 6 Grad ist aber wirklich Schluss danach wirds unangenehm. Das packmass ist wirklich sehr gut da kann man nix sagen.Leider verliert der Schlafsack jetzt schon vereinzelt Federn weswegen ich davon ausgehe dass er nicht lang halten wird.Wir werden sehen

Arès avoir payé près de 20 euros de frais de port, le duvet est réceptionné avec des tâches de moisissure et j'ai dû de nouveau payer 20 euros de frais de retour. Scandaleux.

I love this bag so far. I suffer from being too warm in a sleeping bag, in the summer. I live in BC Canada, south. This bag is big enough for an average sized male, or even a bit larger... but not to keep warm. It's very light, weighs near nothing and can easily be stuffed into a quart (litre-ish) sized bottle. It lofts out well, and would be warm on top of a good quality sleeping pad, in a tent, in the late spring to early fall (in southern BC). That said, in warmer climes... adjust that to deeper into the fall and further back into the spring. The gem of this bag is that it is really high quality down in the baffles, and will keep you warmer if need be, or cooler, if need be (insulation goes both ways). This bag should be tested for any committed adventures you may want it for, but aren't sure of the temperature range of the nights in the area and time of season you'll be using it. I would estimate that it should be used for a summer bag only, in Canada and like latitudes, but could easily be used for a 3 season bag in warmer latitudes (that don't have wild variations of temperature from day to night). And, if it fits your temperature use, it is a comfy bag all round, delicate, and you will be able to carry ten of them without noticing the weight. I'll be using mine for late spring, early fall and summer... for the insulating factor (blocking out heat) and as an inner bag with my much, much heavier 3 season bag in the early and late spring and fall. If you want very warm for a bag, this isn't it. If you need uber-light and a summer bag that is comfy in heat, this is a very great choice. Btw, it's not so 'mummylike" in the feet area that you can't move your legs and feet around. And it's surprisingly long for such a light bag. I'm 5' 10" and I fit in it with a bit to spare. I'm also very muscular and handsome (at night), so I get a bit warm due to muscle density and mass, and need to move around. The bag isn't huge, but it's also pretty ample in the shoulders and feet areas... which is a complaint with many sleeping bags (especially mummy bags) that are being sold out of China and other such nations where the people are a bit smaller. Enjoy, good product, well made, so light you may have to tie a penny to it to keep track of it.

This is a wonderful backpack bag. It's super small, packs well, and seems very well put together.I wouldn't put a great deal of stock in the 11 degree C/52 F comfort rating, even on a very high r-rating sleeping pad. On an R4+ pad, with both base layer and down on, in single digits Celsius, this bag was uncomfortably cold. I've since added a liner, and suspect that is going to make a large difference. other than the temp rating, though, I am very happy with the bag. Came with the compression sack and the off-season sack for storage, and came much faster than expected.As long as the temps you'll be in work, you'll be happy with the bag.Note: this bag is nylon inside and outside, so it might come as a shock to you if you're expecting the nylon outer/cloth inner layout. Doesn't affect performance, but might be something to consider as far as what you sleep in.
