Badlands sleeping bags any good?

[herdbull33]

Looking to update the 10 year old sleeping bag. Any one have experience with this sleeping bag? They look awesome but can't find a whole lot as far as reviews go. Thanks in advance.

There newer bags, kinda heavy for what they are. I think their are better options for your money.

I just ordered the +10 degree bag, it was a good it was at a good price point for me.  Once it arrives Ill let you know what I think of it.

Looks like you could do a lot better for warmth/weight with any of the major mountaineering brands and for less $$.

I would highly recommend going into a store like REI and trying some out before buying..  Personally I wanted one with a bit of room for moving around if need be.  I went with an REI Radiant 20 degree bag.  cut a litttttle bit wider than most mummy bags, decent price, and decent weight.
It is about the same weight as Badlands 35 degree bag and 100 dollars less.
if you want to spend in the 3-400 range, there are definitely some nicer bags out there for the money in my opinion.

Herdbull, my badlands cinder bag came today. Seemed like a decent deal to me because of the unconditional lifetime warranty all badlands gear has. Havent had to lug it around or sleep in yet but appears to be a solid bag.

   I second the rei deal.    mike w

I agree with going to someplace and trying bags.  Then plan for the worst conditions you anticipate and use as a base line.  You are better off with too much bag than not enough.

I recommend Western Mountaineering sleeping bags. They are not cheap though, around $500! But for backcountry hunting, a 0 deg. bag that weighs a total 2lb. 12oz. is mighty nice. They are baffled to so you can adjust the amount of fill on top or below you. That way even in a 0 deg. bag on a warm night you can put most of the fill toward the ground and have less insulation on top of you, also nice to put more fill on top when the temps are real low and you have a good sleeping pad for insulation from the ground. They have 30+ bags to choose from in temp ranges from 40 deg. to -40 deg.

I use the L.L. Bean Ultralight 35° bag. Its got a box end so lots of room, light, good materials(primaloft), and only $180.

I add a Sea to Summit bag liner, and Tigoat ptarmigan bivy and I'm good from spring till fall. Total setup is less than $350 and I can change it per needs.

Something else to look at anyhow.

I went the mountain hardware route. Use a sea to summit stuff sack and I'm golden! Love my set up. I lucked out though and had a 30% off deal for any one item at mountain hardware. Love there products though!
