Need A New Cold Weather Sleeping Bag

[Rat44]

Had an unfortunate accident with my old bag.
Used my old Army Mountain bag since the 80's.
Was the old style feather mummy bag and served me well.
Kept me warm in -0 degree weather.
Looking at new bags for hunting season this year.
Usually in a unheated tent mostly solo.
Mountain winter use down below zero is seen on occasion.Will be used with a thermal pad.
Looked a little bit on line but of course I am leary of 'Reviews' on retail sites.
Any suggestions on real world use would be appreciated..

I like my cabelas mummy bag

I nearly froze on a Colorado hunt a few years when it dumped a couple feet of snow on us in Sept.   came home and bought a zero degree bag from feathered friends.   I’d highly recommend anything they make.  I bought the long/wide version and it is a first class bag in every category.

I use an enlightened equipment quilt in conjunction with a exped down mat.   I won’t talk wide as the extra weight was negligible and it packs down to the size of a football.  I have had it for 6 years and have used it in Canada and Idaho and have zero complaints.

Enlightened equipment also makes bags.  I just like the room to move around.

I second that enlightened equipment quilt. I was always a cold sleeper so I was hesitant to get a quilt but after using it, I really like it. Mine is a 20° bag and it keeps me warm

I have always used and like Montbell, but gave this one a shot a couple years ago and really like it a lot... Chilkoot 0*, Also for a pad, haven't been able to beat the Exped Downmat

I purchased one from Cabelas years ago, their outfitter -40 bag, top is down fill. I have been in sub zero temperatures in Montana and have never been cold in it!
I believe it is now called Alaskan Instinct!

R44, for backcountry Soldier, pick up a good Nemo pad (bombproof) and one of these https://viamoutdoors.com/product/insulator-quilts-wide-width-58/, you won’t be disappointed. I have a 15 degree VO bag and it kept me very comfortable on my last backcountry ID hunt in 16 degree weather.  If u have specific questions, send Tristan at 6AM Outdoors a note and he’ll work with you and set u up with a bag mister..trust me.
