If you’re looking for a bag with exceptional comfort we love the Sierra Designs Backcountry Bed 20. It’s a bit pricier, but you’re guaranteed a super cozy night’s sleep. I purchased this sleeping bag for warm weather camping trips at the local lake. For fifteen dollars I wasn’t expecting (or needing) anything that would stand up to freezing weather. Unfortunately the workmanship was more than a little upsetting, even for that price.
If you would like to make snuggling part of your next camping trip, check out the Kelty Tru.Comfort 20 Doublewide. This two-person sleeping bag offers nearly 37 square feet of cozy sleeping space. It also includes two built-in blankets to allow either sleeper to adjust their warmth during the night. We think this is an ideal choice for couples or families looking for a comfortable sleeping system for their next car or RV camping trip.
What bothers me the most, (and the main reason I gave it 2 stars) is that the fabric is hidden and not obvious until you get it out of the ozark trail canopy package and unzip it all of the way. If they wanted to skimp on fabric, it should have been used on the outside and bottom of the bag!
Although we wouldn’t recommend it down to quite that frigid of temps, it proved capable down to the single digits. The Sierra Designs Get Down 20 is an extremely well-priced product for a down sleeping bag. It is ozark trail canopy warm enough for most 3-season excursions, decently lightweight, and packs down pretty small. Yes, there are fancier and higher-performing bags, but at this price, the Get Down represents a spectacular value.
I could have gotten better quality from a teenager’s home ec project and lighter weight. The biggest issue most shoppers will have with the MegaLite is the expensive price tag. Beginners or occasional backpackers will likely be happier with a budget model for half the price, like the Mountain Hardwear Bishop Pass 15. Serious backpackers, however, should really consider spending extra for the MegaLite, or another bag from Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends. The Polara has synthetic insulation that simply isn’t as lush or comfy as many of the premium options on the market.
Despite this advantage of synthetic insulation, most serious backcountry travelers still prefer down over synthetic bags for most applications. The weight savings and differences in packed size are just that significant. But synthetic ozark trail chair sleeping bags continue to be popular due to their lower cost. Broadly speaking, we recommend beginners and occasional backpackers choose a synthetic sleeping bag, while more devoted outdoor people splurge for a down model.
