Zero Degree Bag

[Flatbrimmer]

Is weight a consideration? I use a cheap ALPZ mountaineering 0 degree bag in the fall and early winter here in Montana without issue. Almost never have to wear a hoodie or lot of bottom layers- although I do still like a beanie.. it isn’t the lightest bag though- at just over 5 lbs. I also have been here forever and “cold” is relative

I have been comfortable down to 2 or 3 F with this and an insulated pad. Over 100 nights in it at various temps and very happy with the value.

I have a zero degree bag for the cold nights in the camper (no heat). Bought it at wal mart for like 80 bucks. If you're car camping, I'd just go with something cheap. Obviously, if you're packing the bag it's gonna be an entirely different story.

Something to consider is a bivy sack or a down "woobie" light weight blanket. An inexpensive, light weight, very compactable "topper" or affectionately called a woobie can add a lot of extra warmth or can be used as a pillow.

They are called woobies because "without it, you woobie cold"

Take a look at the REI magma 0 degree bag. I have the 15 and its worth every penny.

if you're looking for actual 0 degree performance out of it, and looking at Klymit or BA, then i'd shoot for a -20 rating if they make them.

Went through this last season went with 0* Mountain Hardwear Bishop Pass seemed to perform great....it is a little narrow in my shoulder area but it is a good bag I think it was 250ish at REI. Hunting in Montana September through end of November and took it on an ice fishing trip.

If your not backpacking and just cold camping, you can always double up if you have some warmer bags, I did this once with a 20 deg and a 40 deg back and slept great in single digits. Nose was a little chilly, but my base layers and beanie kept me nice and warm.

Western Mountaineering makes the best bags out there, just gotta get over the price.

I would seriously consider Montbell. I did a ridiculous amount of research this spring before buying a new bag. I don’t know what your budget is but they make an absolutely fantastic bag. The bag packs down small. It’s not heavy and the way they are stitched allows you to actually move in your bag even though it looks like a mummy bag which is worth it’s weight in gold for me.

Snagged this on Amazon and liked it so far. Coldest I’ve been in with it has been low thirties but stayed plenty warm and got hot at times. Time will tell this winter. Keep in mind the degree rating is to keep you alive and add 15 degrees or so to rate for comfort.

Havent played with their bags yet but the wife and i both adore our Montbell down jackets that we own for backpacking long trails. Ours held up well on the Arizona Trail- which due to the number of spikes, spines, briars, and stickers is where UL gear goes to die!

Agree. Very happy with mine.

I haven’t used it in the mountains yet, but I bought a slumberjack ronin 0 degree a couple years ago, and have used it in early spring here in Kentucky in the 30 degree range, and had to keep it unzipped. But it’s not exactly light weight at 77 ounces.

Might be above your budget but the Nemo Stalker is good 0 degree down bag. Used it several times into
The low 20s end it’s been solid. Almost gives my WM a run for it’s money

Marmot & Kelty have me covered -20 to 20+.

I've got a Nemo Sonic 0 and have woken up a few times with moisture in the tent/bag. I sleep hot and condensation always seems to be an issue for me. Wondering what good 0 degree options are for a synthetic bag? I can't do mummy style and need a little extra foot room...I was thinking a Kifaru Slickbag? The wide/regular length is listed at 4.12 lbs, so about a lb more than the Nemo. Open to other options if anyone has specific synthetic bags they liked?

I think sleeping bags are a lot like boots, a lot is going to depend on variables solely related to you.

This x1000.

Find an REI near you and try some out.

Every time I try to do that they tell me the store is closing and I can't sleep there!

I just take my 30 degree and put inside my 15 degree bag, dang toasty
