We Put Walmart’s Low-Cost Backpacking Gear to the Test

In order to give this sleeping bag a thorough testing, we trialled it in 2 different tents and also ozark trail sleeping bag solo on a night under the stars to see how well it would hold up. These bags are perfect for a family camping trip or if your kiddo is heading to a sleepover. I would not recommend this product to anyone unless I wanted them to freeze and get a terrible night’s sleep. I nearly froze to death on the trail, and craftsmanship is garbage (to put it mildly).

They were also delighted with the wider dimensions of this bag compared to many other winter bags. Its high-quality 850 fill power goose down was some of the best at maintaining excellent loft despite numerous compression cycles. The Sierra Designs Get Down 20 is an extremely well-priced product for a down sleeping bag. It is warm enough for most 3-season excursions, decently lightweight, and packs down pretty small. Yes, there are fancier and higher-performing bags, but at this price, the Get Down represents a spectacular value. We just wouldn’t stretch using this bag too far into the shoulder season.

I used this bag two nights last weekend and found it was too cold on its own—lowest temp was 51 degrees each of those nights. We recommend these products based on an intensive research process that’s designed to cut through the noise and find the top products in this space. Guided by experts, we spend hours looking into the factors that matter, to bring you these selections.

Among the premium sleeping bag companies, Feathered Friends stands out for offering some of the absolute loftiest goose down. They incorporated this impressive insulation into our favorite women’s sleeping bag, the Egret UL 20. As you might expect, this bag offers an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio. And at just 1.72 pounds, we believe it truly lives up to its 20°F temperature rating.

This bag is only rated to 30 degrees and may not be warm enough for some settings. A good double-sized sleeping bag that will match the frame of your queen-sized air mattress. The cheaper fabrics fail to inspire confidence in the longevity of the sleeping bag and although it looks pretty decent, it feels cheap. Outdoors, it doesn’t offer you the protection you need or want and it’s also quite large and bulky to carry around. There are plenty options out there, that offer a superior sleeping bag that are comparable in price such as the Vango Saturn Outdoor Sleeping Bag that are worth considering.
