When you're route-tripping, camping, or backpacking – whatsoever the season – the I Bag'southward multiple layers combine to keep yous warm.

Use the lightweight synthetic outer layer solo on warm summer nights. And then add the 800-make full downwards mid-layer when the mercury dips. Want to take this bag winter camping?

North Confront I Bag: in the field

Having a single purse to go me through 4 seasons of camping has a lot of appeal. This bag offers that choice cleverly, with three layers that tin can be combined in several configurations, which lets me slumber comfortably in a broad range of temperatures.

1 of the things I loved about the pattern of this versatile bag is that, whatever layers I wasn't sleeping with converted to into a useful accessory. The mid-layer has a cervix snap to turn it into a shawl. Stuff any unused layer into the compression stuffsack turned inside out, and voila! You accept a fleece-lined and a cozy pillow.

I worried that adding more than warmth would be hard if I crawled into my One Purse then decided I wasn't warm plenty. Just the zippers are color-coded and user-friendly. It only took a couple of seconds to layer or de-layer as needed.

I other matter that impressed me about this bag: the midlayer had a draft collar and draft tube, while the other layers didn't need their own. Hang loops let me air the layers.

On the downside, in that location were no stash pockets. Overall, this bag has a bigger/less technical fit, and it's not the lightest (simply of grade you can tailor it to the conditions you expect to encounter).

Overall information technology is a superb, multifunctional sleeping bag for the camper who likes to explore in a multifariousness of conditions and across all iv seasons, and a worthy inclusion on our list of the best sleeping numberless for 2021.
