Paria Outdoor Products Thermodown 0 Degree Down Mummy Sleeping Bag - Ultralight Cold Weather, 4 Season Bag - Perfect for Backcountry Camping and Backpacking

I do a lot of winter camping and was looking for a good winter bag. I have never used a $500 sleeping bag so I can't compare those to this but, this bag is awesome!For a 0 degree bag( comfort rating, not lower limit rating) 3 lbs. is very manageable. I have been able to compress it down to about 9" x 6" and when I get to camp I shake it out and it retains its loft in about 30 minutes. So far 23 degrees is the lowest temp I have slept in and was quite warm in just a tee shirt in shorts. I do have it paired with the Paria Outdoord Recharged sleeping pad which is awesome as well. 4" air pad with a 4.7 r-value.I am 5'8" and weight about 170 lb with broad shoulders and the regular size works. It is plenty long but is a little tight. If you are a wide person or have broad shoulders I would recommend the larger size fist for the extra width. If I ever need to replace this bag I would get the larger size. It is very comfortable and has no annoying smells to it. The zippers are flawless and the draft tubes are a very nice addition. Especially on a really cold night.I can't say enough about this bag and the company behind it. Paria puts out some good stuff at an affordable price. The only thing about this bag I am not in love with is the stuff sack. It is good quality but I just don't like how it works. It has like a nylon cap thecompression straps attach to and there are only 3 points of conprssion. I prefer the simple stuff sack that has the 2 straps that go over the bag with 4 point compression. I am using one of those on this bag. Not a big deal.If you are looking for some quality, affordable gear, check out Paria Outdoors. Oh, their customer service is as good as it gets as well!

I purchased this bag for a week long trip to a National Park in early March. The lows at night were in the low 30s. As someone who hasn't slept in a tent in years, I slept better that week than I had in a long time. I wore base layers and socks to sleep in. In early fall, I used it during a three day kayaking trip. It was advised by the guide to use a trash bag to line the stuff sack to help prevent water from getting inside. This was difficult. I had used the stuff sack for the first time prior to this and broke a sweat trying to get the sleeping bag in.... so the trash bag endeavor was interesting. One evening the temperature was in the 40s and I was sweating (I had went to bed in sweats). I didn't have another sleeping bag so it was fine. The next night I slept outside and it as much better. My last trip was car camping. The outside air temp dropped to mid-high 20s. I did get chilled that night but only because I didn't wear proper socks and long sleeves. I slept well enough. Overall the bag is fantastic. The only issues I had were the stuff sack and the zipper. I couldn't get the bag unzipped on my most recent trip and had cinched the top of the bag. I would highly recommend investing in a different type of stuff sack if you're going to need it unless you have a lot of patience. I was worried about the price of the bag being too high for the quality but as really pleased. I have considered getting a higher temp-rated bag through Paria as well.

I got the short version. It's a little small. I'm 5'4", and i could not sleep curled like i normally can in a regular bag....too narrow. I don't think i saved much in weight/space, so don't get short if you're taller than 5'6" or are side sleeper. I slept in this in 40 degree temp with mat, tent with no fly in t shirt and leggings, no socks, so i think with a down jacket, socks, and thermal clothing, it can take me to 15 degrees, maybe. But i sleep very cold. For reference, a 32 bag for me is only good to 45-50, comfortable. Fluffs up nicely. I like the mesh storage bag and colors. Compression sack sucks. Only 3 points, didn't compress evenly. 10"×8.5" compressed size...kind of big.

-Initial "Out-of-box" Impression: Gorgeous! (Can a sleeping bag be gorgeous? I think it can, if you have a slight fetish for quality, intelligently designed outdoor gear :) .) Thick, fluffy loft fills bag on unrolling in minutes. Slick, substantial-feeling material. Quality stitching. Nice color. Amazingly light! What you see is exactly what you get.-Home "try-out": Comfortable! I'm 6'2" and 200 pounds, and I'd say it's just about perfect. (If I were 15+ pounds larger, I'd probably go with something a bit bigger around the chest/shoulders.) Two-way zipper is easy to use, with a thick zipper guard to minimize snagging. Nicely snug overall without feeling hindered. Length is perfect for my height.-Packing: Easy and Light! This bag compresses amazingly well. On my pack it feels like nothing.-Camping break-in: A+! Spent two nights at around 9800 feet in Utah's Dixie National Forest. Temps dropped down to low 40's, lots of wind, but inside a tent so no real test for this bag. I slept with it unzipped/open over me, wearing just drawers, and was perfectly comfortable slightly on the warm side. So it has genuine flexibility as a true 4-season bag. (Looking forward to putting it to more of a test on future trips, and I'll update here as I do.)-Customer Service: Outstanding. Prompt, friendly, and helpful email responses from Paria any time I've had a question. You guys are great!
