Details
Mountain Hardwears new Phantom 0 sleeping bag features the new alpine mummy cut in a Superlight down bag. At 2lbs 10oz (regular), the Phantom 0 weighs about a pound less than other 0F bags. 800-fill down provides excellent insulation, even as temperatures creep into the single digits, while Mountain Hardwears alpine mummy cut brings insulation closer to your body, without uncomfortable restriction. An ergonomic draft collar and down-filled face gasket keep your warmth inside the bag. The Phantom 0 has reduced volume around the head, and room has been added at the elbows and hips for a more comfortable nights sleep.

Winter Sleeping Bags Checklist
 |
Insulation Type? For winter
camping, nothing is better than high-quality goose down. It's warmer
and less bulky. Yes, synthetic bags are ok (and less expensive),
but for wintner camping...goose down rules. |
|
Temperature Rating? Get
a bag rated to -40 degrees. Remember, just because a bag is rated
to -40, doesn't mean it will keep you warm at that temperature. Always
be safe and "add 10 to 20" degrees onto the temperature rating of
a sleeping bag. |
|
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A
winter sleeping bag is useless without a thick sleeping
pad. So,
if you don't already have a sleeping pad designed for winter, be
sure to get one. Remember, sleeping pads are designed for BOTH warmth
and comfort! |
|
Don't Jerry-Rig a Three Season Bag
for Winter Use. It's not really possible to "jerry rig"
a three season bag to make it suitable for winter use. Many good
three-season bags keep you warmer when you sleep without clothing.
About the best you can do to "winterize" a three-season bag is
to insert a sleeping bag liner. But it's still a sorry substitute
for a quality four-season bag. |
