great review and very informative. I feel like a 15F sleeping bag is the best rating for year-round camping. If the weather is too warm in the summer, I can unzip the 15F bag and cover half my body or sleep completely uncovered and still be ok. If the temperatures are too cold (below freezing), I add a down or wool blanket for an extra layer with midweight baselayer clothing and I'm toasty in temperatures in the teens. These methods saves me from buying multiple bags. Of course, as you said, everyone's body type is different.
Not necessarily. Big Agnes has the Torchlight and Sidewinder, Thermarest makes several quilt bags and Sierra Designs has the Backcountry Bed, Night Cap, Cloud and Nitro lines of zipperless and quilt bags. If you don't mind synthetic, there's tons of surplus military bags out there that have plenty of room to roll around in and you can find them in new condition for around $100. I bought one from a junk store for $9 and it's fantastic. It's warm down to the mid 30s (as low as I've tested it) and uses Primaloft insulation, which is the same stuff Nemo uses.
I'm such a difficult customer. I hate hot weather and heat. Sleeping bags are kinda hot. So when I go camping I often end up with just sheets. That being said, I moved to new england so now I actually need more than sheets.
U should mention that if you dont have a decent R rating sleep pad it dlesnt matter how great your bag is because youll be cold well before the 15 degree limit
I have a 20f down bag and a 35f down quilt. Used alone these get me through most of the year and used together they're good all the way through NC mountain winters. I bought both from Enwild, too, along with another sleeping bag, a couple backpacks, a jacket, a stove.... I think one of my tents came from Enwild.... I really do love these guys. Best prices and the best customer support and everything I've bought from them has shipped the day I ordered it. And I don't mean they just created a label, but *on* the UPS truck headed down the highway.
So far this is the best Enwild video I’ve watched.
Thank you!

Thats definitely a good point
Great review, I’m a side sleeper and the bags available are limited - rectangular bags
Thanks! Hopefully you find the bag that works for you!

Thanks for the tips brother. Think i'll go with the 15 degree bag.
Enjoy!

Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Is there a better bag than the Marmot brand you're pushing in this video? Cost isn't a factor for me, nor is compressibility or weight.
That's a great question we'd love to hear what other users have to say.
There for sure are better down bags. Check out Feathered Friends, Western Mountaineering Designs for starters.
