AMPEX Sleeping Bag | Down Sleeping Bags & Alternative Down Bags for Cold Weather Camping Backpacking Hiking - 20° Mummy XL & Reg, 30° Hybrid XL & Reg

This is a great bag! Perfect weight and warmth. I used it at hunting camp backpacked way in the woods. Kept me more than warm enough. The size & fit of the XL was very comfortable for me a 6' tall 175lb man.

Great sleeping bag, nice colors, great quality & very warm. Used it in my van in 30-40F outside temp & most of the time didn’t even zip it up. It’s very wam and light. I love that it comes with a larger bag on top of compression bag so you can just throw it in & put away during day without having to go through the compression bag drama. The inside does have this slippery synthetic stuff but they all seem to be like this these days. I used to have a 500gsm bag that had actual cotton lining but I have not been able to find one like that (polyester outside/cotton inside). The colors are pretty & perfectly go with my retro van which has tan / brown interior. The zippers are good quality & different from many wam bags you can zip it open all the way & use as blanket

Good comfort features, easily folds and durable. Lightweight and comfortable for near cold temps a respectable purchase.

All it takes is a quick look at the description to see that the strap and mesh panel on the back of the bag are designed to slip over a camping pad. The woman who left a video review is misleading. The mesh panel is *not a face covering* and the adjustable strap is *not to hang the bag up*. The two loops at the foot are for hanging. This ingenious type of integrated bag/pad system keeps restless sleepers from slipping off the pad. This would be considered a warm/shoulder season bag. It is synthetic fill *not down* so although it won’t pack down quite as well it should offer insulation even in damp conditions. Better descriptions and accurate video reviews would help shoppers pick an appropriate product. Cost is high imo. I was able to find this bag bundled with Ampex’s pad and one person tent for less than the cost the pad and bag here. At that price point I’ll take the chance on this lesser known brand but not at the current Amazon price.

Went on an amazing backpacking trip and this was the most comfortable warm sleeping bag I’ve ever been in. It was amazing.🤩

My first comment is not really about this particular bag, but sleeping bags in general. The rated comfort temperatures are always quite removed from reality. Although this has a 20F rating, that is at least 10 degrees colder than a realistic rating. They actually admit this on one of their tags (see photos), that this is comfortable to 30F. So this is a 3-season bag in my book.At first I considered giving this just 4 stars, because nothing about it stood out, and it is fairly expensive. But then I thought to compare this to offerings from name brands.A similar bag is the Big Agne5 Torchlight 20. It is also rated to 20F. That bag sells for $130 more than this bag. The insulation of down bags is determined by two factors, the quality of the down, usually determined by the fill power, which is how many cubic inches of loft one ounce of that down fill produces; so the higher the better. This bag has a Fill Power of 700, and the BA bag has a 600 rating. The other determinant of insulation is how much down is in the bag, the higher the warmer. This bag has 1.12 lbs of down, and the BA has 1.65 lb. So perhaps the BA bag is slightly better for insulation. Still, the BA cost 40% more. So I deemed this a very good value in comparison terms.This bag is well-designed and well-made. It is light enough, and compact enough to be used in packing trips. It has a cell phone pocket, which is nice. It also has a breathable face cover to help keep your face warm at night. That seems like a little overkill on a bag that is rated 20F. It comes with a smaller compression bag for when you are using it, and a much larger storage bag which prolongs the down's loft. A nice touch.

The proof of any low temperature sleeping bag is, well, low temperature, and since I received this in the late Spring I can't really test it out adequately. I am impressed, though, by the quality of the material, stitching, down fill and little thoughtful extras.For example, there are straps to hold the bag onto a Thermarest-type mattress. This is a great feature as I often find myself in the morning on the ground, not the mattress, when camping. There is also a pillow pocket to secure a head pillow, a little zipper pocket for your phone, wallet, watch, or whatever. And there is a loop at the bottom to hang your bag to air out or, if you're unlucky, dry out.The zippers are so well designed that I couldn't recreate the normal snags I get when zipping up other bags as the nylon shell bunches up into the zipper head. The top of the bag surrounds your head like a hoody and has a neckpiece to prevent drafts. The bag is nice and light for hiking and includes both a compression sack for travel and a large bag for storage. Overall, a well and thoughtfully made bag.
