Sierra Designs Nitro 30 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down


Product Details

Sierra Designs made the Mens Nitro 30 Degree Down Sleeping Bag with Flex construction to help it hug your body and provide excellent thermal insulation while still letting you move freely. The high-loft 800-fill down provides lots of warmth for very little weight, and Sierra Designs further shaved ounces by using a half-length zipper. The Nitro Sleeping Bag comes with a footbox vent to help you cool down when you find yourself camping in warmer temperatures than you expected.

Price : $ 288.95

Lightweight Sleeping Bags Checklist

Sure It's Warm Enough? Lightweight bags are meant for use in weather between 30-50 degrees. But, remember, it's always prudent to add on at least 10 degrees to the bags rating. Thus, a bag rated to 40 degrees might only keep you warm in 50 degree weather.
Down or Synthetic? Each have their advantages. Down is less bulky and weighs a few ounces less. Synthetic costs less (usually) and is easier to dry - you can just toss it in the dryer.
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A sleeping bag is useless without a sleeping pad. So, if you don't already have a sleeping pad, get one. For lightweight sleeping bags (thus used in warm weather), you don't need a super thick or winter-style one.
Ideal Uses for a Lightweight Bag. Where you know...for sure...that the temperature will stay at least 10-15 degrees above the sleeping bags rating. And, where every ounce and cubic inch of space is at a premium. Lightweight bags are often used by climbers and bike campers/travelers. For backpacking in the mountains, a lightweight bag is NOT recommended!
