Sierra Designs Verde 40 Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree


Product Details

Like us, Sierra Designs got tired of hearing the word green everywhere, so the company named its eco-friendly slumber sack the Verde 40 Sleeping Bag. From head to toe, this bag takes it easy on the planet thanks to its Climashield Green recycled insulation, EcoSensor recycled shell fabric, and Cocona wicking liner (made from recycled coconut shell scraps). The Verdes light weight makes it ideal for backcountry pack trips or lazy nights in the campground.

Price : $ 158.95

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!
