Kelty Cosmic Down 20-Degree Sleeping Bag Review:


Available on Amazon from79.98$ here:

If you are looking for three-season backpacking and camping gear, one of the gear you would want to look up is the Kelty sleeping bag. This sleeping bag can be the backpacking/camping gear of choice for those who want to stay comfortable without compromising compactness. An added bonus is that this makes for a rather stylish gear.

Kelty sleeping bags only have 20 degree Fahrenheit thermal ratings which mean that while you can use this for below zero (Celsius) temperature, you are still going to need a sleeping pad. Note that in tests to determine thermal ratings, the subject is deemed to be using a 1-inch pad.

Kelty sleeping bags also feature box baffle construction and a top baffle coolar. A baffle is an internal wall of fabric which separates the layers (top and bottom) of fabric in a down comforter, or in this case, a sleeping bag. It adds loft to the sleeping bag and also adds strength. This means that you get a durable, compact and fluffy sleeping bag.

The major drawback about this sleeping bag is that it isn't waterproof. It is insulated with duck down. It will give you a very soft and comfortable feel, not to mention that it has excellent body heat retention properties. If you are going on a kayaking or canoeing trip, you might want to look for another sleeping bag. At 6 lbs (short) 9 lbs (regular) and 12 lbs (long), this sleeping bag isn't very lightweight but it gives the best warmth-to-weight ratio.

Here is a review by “Eric”

This bag is light, fluffy, and warm. It feels like a higher quality down than the 550 rating it claims (more like 750 or more). Because its so light it feels like it won't be warm enough. It was cozy warm for me and weighs only 2.5 lbs………………………….
