 "Packs Tiny, Very Light, But More like a 55' Bag?" 2010-06-06
By Voiceover Guy
This LaFuma bag packs incredibly tiny; the (noncompression) stuff sack it comes in is only slightly larger than a Nalgene quart bottle, it's incredibly light (1 lb 4 oz), and for certain very specialized uses where being able to fit a summer weight sleeping bag in a pants cargo pocket (or a water bottle mesh outer pocket in a daypack) it's probably ideal. It's so thin (maybe 1/2 inch or less total loft?) I question whether it will work at 45 degrees. The stuff sack has a handy temperature range chart which shows the LaFuma's 'comfort' range as 54 degrees and above; between 54' and 45' the wearer is 'in transition' (which I interpret as 'no longer comfortable'; and from 45 degrees to 23' the wearer is at 'risk' (of hypothermia, I suppose). It's summer now, can't currently test it out below the 60's, so I can't fairly assess its warmth potential. If you want a 1lb 4 oz mummy bag that almost fits in a Nalgene bottle, and you're confident that you're going to be indoors or inside a tent, out of the wind and that the temp isn't going to break much below 55' (according to the stuffsack temp chart), this might be the perfect choice. Mine came with a glow-in-the-dark zipper pull. 'Tactel' lining fabric, which I wasn't familiar with, feels like a smooth nylon, almost like silnylon. Stitching's good.

I just finished using this sleeping bag on a 3 day camp and it was USELESS. I was freezing.

We're talking July temperatures in Oregon (currently a 52 degree low), under a tent - here's how it fared:

night 1 - wore very little (thinking bag would be sufficient), woke up cold.

Night 2 - wore t-shirt and trousers and socks, woke up cold.

Night 3 - wore fleece, t-shirt, shorts, trousers, 2 pairs of socks. Made it!

I am NOT a cold person, but this bag just couldn't cut it. You'll need a campfire in your tent if you use this.

When they say "mummy sleeping bag" it's because you'll need to wear every layer you own, turning you into a mummy...........piece of junk.


 "awesome pack light bag" 2008-02-12
By B. Geller (Massachusetts, USA)
I've been camping for years and have a few sleeping bags for different temperatures etc., but I needed a bag for traveling and for warm summer use. This bag is great. Lightweight and fits into a tiny package...literally only an inch bigger than a nalgene. I haven't been using it for too long, but it seems reasonably true to the 45 rating. I'd definitely recommend this bag...its got a great price tag and for those who don't want to spend a ton to get a down bag, this synthetic is a great way to go.

I have to admit that I bought this bag as a bit of a novelty. I did not expect it to be much more than a conversation piece and chance to be able to say that I had won the "lightest and smallest" sleeping bag competition among my backpacking buddies. I do not do much winter camping and I have a heavier warmer bag for that so I thought I would give it a shot. This bag rolls up and packs up tiny. It takes up so little room that I had to reorganize my packing system. It is so small and light that I take it on day hikes. I have gotten it wet and maxed out its temp rating and beyond and have yet to regret it. I have needed to sleep with a wool stocking cap on but that is a small price to pay for cutting that much weight and bulk out of my pack as I have the hat with me anyway. I have used this from mid spring to mid fall and carried it from the Oregon Coast to a backpack trip around Mt Hood with my son's Boy Scout troop. I have found that I sleep a little cold no matter what and my feet have even gotten cold in my 20 degree Slumberjack. I have found one those disposable "Hot Hands" or similar chemical handwarmers shoved down in a pair of dry warm socks do more for me on colder nights than even a bulkier heaver sleeping bag. I also carry and sleep with my Self-Inflating Thermarest no matter what sleeping bag I take, my bones do not like the ground anymore and it definitely makes a difference in the comfortable temperature rating of my sleep system. I think a poor nights sleep can ruin a great multi-day backpack trip quickly and I think you can see that a good nights sleep is important to me. A light weight backpack is also important to a great trip, especially for young kids and old guys like me. My opinion is that this sleeping bag is a keeper and an important part of my plan for successful backpacking trips..
