Our testers found the 15-degree rating to be consistent with similar bags lower limit EN ratings, but it will lose most of its insulative power if it gets wet, just like any other down bag. Fortunately, GearLab's policy to purchase every piece of gear that we test gives us the flexibility to include models from both companies in this comprehensive review. The extra room in the bag means that I can add my fleece liner into it to use in colder weather if needed.

The women’s version of the Forte bag has a comfort rating of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and the men’s is rated at 32 degrees, so as long as the temperature is above that lower limit, you should sleep comfortably through the night.Although, many consumers will appreciate that Western Mountaineering is a small company producing all its bags in the USA. That said, when wet, down loses all of its insulating properties, and it takes a long time to dry after a soaking. Comfort Rating: This is the temperature at which an average female should experience a comfortable night’s sleep. However, each brand tested their bags in different ways, and it was hard to find a fair comparison between models. Designed using just a single material family, Forte is now officially a standout in sustainability as well as comfort and performance.

Most reputable brands still use their own rating system alongside EN 13537, for instance, Mountain Equipment's “Good Night’s Sleep” and Rab’s “Sleep Limit”.

At the same time, its full-length zipper and horizontal baffle construction provide ample options to shed heat and cool off on warmer nights. Although warmth is hard to measure objectively, weight is easy, and this is one of the most important metrics to consider for human-powered travel. Thus, a bag's comfort score is our best subjective judgment of its performance in terms of fit, loft, feel, and noisiness. My legs were a little cold, and every time I switched positions I could feel the cold sleeping bag material that my body hadn’t occupied in a while. I took a few naps during the peak heat throughout my five days on the trail — right around 90 degrees and dry as can be — seeking the shelter and shade of my tent.

It’s a great option for those who primarily car camp but also want a lightweight, reliable bag for the occasional backpacking trip. To evaluate today's top sleeping bags, we selected five performance areas that are sometimes at odds with one another: warmth, weight, comfort, packed size, and features. To evaluate the weight, we used a digital scale to weigh each bag by itself, without any included stuff or compression sacks. Instead of adjusting the hood, or using another piece of clothing, this small bit of insulated fabric allowed for near-perfect head temperature adjustments in the dark. To evaluate comfort, we considered several factors: the dimensions and fit of each bag, the loft or fluffiness of the insulation, the feel of the interior fabric, and, in some cases, the noisiness of the materials.The Gold series boasts the ultimate in warmth-to-weight thermal efficiency, is water-resistant and delivers superior softness. However, it can't compete with any of the down products in this review and isn't as compressible as some of the other synthetic models we have tested. It’s also a bit heavier to account for women usually running colder than men, thus keeping the degree rating the same across both genders. It has a unique shape that’s not quite rectangular and not quite mummy-shaped, so it retains warmth well but also gives you plenty of room to move, whether you sleep on your back, front or side. Therefore, getting a bag that compresses smaller is a good way to reduce the size and overall burden load.

Integrated pillow pocket allows a jacket, extra clothes, or Fillo™ to be stuffed into the sleeve opening for secure, elevated support through the night. I was really blown away by how small this got, making it a perfect camping/backpacking crossover bag. The ideal user would also be someone who runs warm or is planning on using the Forte in mild temperatures.

You'll notice the front of the bag has two coloured slits; these are actually vents which can be opened and closed to regulate the temperature of the bag.As these examples illustrate, a bag's comfort is inherently subjective, so it's essential to choose one that matches your preferences.
