Budget 0-degree UL sleeping bags?

Postby Korilc » 02 19, 2019 •  [Post 1]

Can yall give me a lead on a reasonably priced 0-degree UL sleeping bag? I am confused by all the choices. Thanks!

reasonably priced 0-degree UL :lol: :lol: Doesn't exist

Im buying another one of these https://www.klymit.com/ksb-0-oversized-down-sleeping-bag.html Im hoping there is a show price next month. Last year $175

Make sure you have a pad that provides insulation too

Watch Craiglist or some of the classified backpacking forums it is the only way to get top quality gear at a reasonable price

One thing ultra light bags lightweight fabrics may not last as long
What is your purpose or type of use for the bag a bag specifically for backpacking may need to be different than a spike camp bag or your once in a life time Alaskan trip
And how much use
The treated down is agame changer

if hunting and hiking the wet side of the coastal ranges I wouldn’t have down unless it stays cold.
I’ve slept in lots of conditions over the years hunting camping and scouting . Typically a name brand bag is a better value
I’m not a greenie but this is one of the times REI will give you the better selection and info
Get on their online site and match there info with your needs.
