Mini 6 Degree 800FP Goose Down Sleeping Bag Ultralight Down Sleeping Bag for Backpacking and Camping for Men & Women (Green, Regular)…

This is a comparison review of this Aegismax mummy bag with the Naturehike rectangular down bag.Over the past year my partner and I have upgraded a few bits of our camping gear. Getting well-made, compact, and lightweight sleeping bags were on the list. We have pretty decent synthetic-fill summer-weight bags from a major brand, that have about 5yrs of use. Going to down-fill was the obvious path, and recent offerings on Amazon have shown that good-quality down products are available from smaller manufacturers at lower prices than the outdoor equipment market has seen before.My wife wanted lots of foot room and a full dual-slider zipper to poke her feet out if it is warm. Naturehike's rectangular bag has met her needs very well this summer. The penalty for the roomy rectangle is about 4oz (compared to the Aegismax mummy) which is very reasonable. They could reduce the weight by at least an ounce if they put a light-weight zipper on it; instead they used a full-size YKK zip that will be reliable for years, without needing the light-touch that much ultralight gear requires. It is warm and cozy, with a cinch cord to draw the top opening together if it is particularly chilly. The advertised temperature limits seem to be reliable guidance. And the glossy water-repellant finish on the outside of the bag should help deep the down dry in the event the sleeper presses up against a tent wall damp with condensation. The compression stuff sack is made from a heavier nylon that will stand up to regular use.I have found mummy bags to work fine for me, so I purchased an Aegismax (size large, I'm 6'/175#) last year and really like it as a integral part of my ultra-light 3-season kit. Compared to the Naturehike, the shell fabric is finer, almost gossamer, but the tight thread count keeps down from poking out. However, I do seem to find a feather or 2 loose about the tent each morning; I don't know how they get out, but they are coming from my bag somewhere. Pulling the mummy hood around my face works well to maximize heat retention, but I have yet to have it out in the 40s to need it. True to ultralight design priorities, the zipper stops mid thigh, so getting in and out requires a bit more movement. And the zipper is well-made but rather light; I have to slide it more gently and slowly, being a little careful to not catch the bag fabric. The compression stuff sack is made from the same fabric as the bag shell, which is perfectly adequate but requires a bit more care in handling.Going to down-fill bags has reduced our sleeping gear volume by 1/2, and reduced the weight by 1/3. These 2 bags have met each of our priorities very well, and we wouldn't change our purchases. You can tell in the comparison photo that the Aegismax is more compact, in proportion to the weight savings. Cinching down on the compression straps makes them both even smaller! But if size/weight are not the priority for you, maybe some extra creature comforts will guide your decision. Either way, you can sleep cozy!

Holy cow! On first inspection, I am extremely impressed. This bag was really just $75 and it's this nice!? Really incredible for the money. It just arrived today and I'm heading out of town (not camping, sadly) tomorrow morning, so it'll be a couple weeks before I can field test; when I do I'll be sure to update this review. For now, though...My scale says 545g (19.2oz) including the compression sack.That's a pretty nice compression sack as well, and they also helpfully include a really big stuff sack so you can store it uncompressed. That's good, because long and/or repeated compression reduces loft; don't store your bag in the compression sack any longer than you need to. [warning: rant ahead] That said, then they go and pack the thing in the compression sack instead of the big one, so who knows how long it sat at the factory, on a container ship, and in warehouses compressed on its way to you. This is the sort of insanity I would take a star off for, if it weren't for the fact that every manufacturer does the same thing. You can get a $400 bag and they'll do it. So I'm just mad at everyone, which is exactly as useful as being mad at no one and not as much fun. Alright I'm done...After some good shaking and letting it lie out a few hours on each side it now has a pretty impressive loft.The shell material is really nice and soft. Doesn't look or feel like it'll be very durable at all, but it's a UL bag, so...Construction is sewn-through. It's generally thin. This clearly won't be the warmest bag around, as several other reviewers have noted. But again it's a summer bag built for lightness, so it's doing what it's supposed to. Baffles and fill aren't weightless after all.Overall it seems to be built well, sized as described, without defects. And to my eye at least, a really attractive bag. If it performs anything like 800 power down in this magnitude should, it's just a crazy value. I'd probably still have it at 5 stars at close to twice the price.I have a good 3 season bag and I'm a generally pretty hot sleeper. I was looking for something really light for cool weather (in warm weather I don't much need anything at all) that could also go inside my bigger bag for winter use. I think this really nailed it.I still kinda can't believe it was just $75; it really looks and feels high quality.Obviously, this is all tentative. I'll be back to update once I've slept in it a few nights.

Bought this bag primarily due to it's low price point for a down bag of this weight and size. We own two of them, standard size for my son who is 5'7" 130lbs and the longer size for myself 6'5" 265lbs. Even at my height and fully zipped up, i can just barely cover my nose so i would think someone that pushing 6'8" could still use this bag.I would say this bag is rate for 50 degrees. I was comfortable wearing a lightweight long sleeve tshirt and some shorts for 2 nights that were in the upper 40's/low 50's here in Wisconsin sleeping directly on the tent floor (REI air mattress failed). Any temp lower than that i would probably have to layer up more or add a liner and i'm a hot sleeper.Bag quality appears to be really good, the fabric feels pretty darn thin and likely easy to snag and possibly rip...but so is my 10 degree $400 Enlightened Equipment bag. The zipper doesn't slide super good, but a little bar soap will help that. The foot box was nice and roomy for my size 14's. The velcro strap and draw string up by the shoulders help secure and snug things up.My intentions, when my air mattress doesn't fail, is to use this as more of a quilt than a mummy bag. Just wish they offered more color options.For the price, i don't think you can beat it!
