Ultra/micro light sleeping bag help
jeepster:
My buddy and I just got back from a 25 mile hike, and I want to change up my gear...
My stuff is too big and bulky. We took a bus in to one spot here on the big island camped for the night, and got up early and walked all of highway 137 plus some, all in all 25 miles and some change in about 14 hours with a few stops along the way... Slept on a black sand beach, then hopped back on the bus home.
I have a Kelty chinook but it's more of a jeep camping sleeping bag, and I need something light and small, preferably a three season bag for mountain use, with primary usage being in the fall...
What works for you guys?
Skyvalhunter:
Whats your price range, temp range, etc?

I hate mummy bags, but had to do it for back country and up north. I went with a Sierra Design down bag. They no longer make the one I have as they improved to a dri-down. It dropped the weight enough I am still way ahead by putting it into a waterproof compression sack. A must if carrying a down bag IMO. I've been pretty impressed with everything I've purchase from Sierra Design.
Hearing great things from guide friends up north about the Kuiu down bags. I don't know anything about them. But usually if those guides like them after four solid months living out of a 2 man tent...it's worth taking note.

Unless a guy spent the 4 months in a bag it would be hard to justify a kuiu
But they do look awesome :chuckle:
