Best Sleeping BagYou’re looking for the best sleeping bag. First let’s review the elements of a superior bag. For the purposes of  backpacking, three criteria are elemental: Weight, warmth, and compressibility.What Makes an Excellent Sleeping Bag? The lightest, warmest and most compressible sleeping bag is made of down. Another advantage of a down bag is its longevity. A quality bag, properly cared for, can withstand many years of frequent use. A bag with the qualities to be considered "best" will never be inexpensive. Quality requires a financial investment.
The Montbell UL Spiral Down Hugger #1 has all the traits identified above: it is lightweight, warm, and compressible. Additionally, because of the spiral design, it feels roomy without leaving excessive space for your body to warm. The hood fits nicely around the face without binding. The bag performs well in humid conditions, a MUST for a down bag. It comes in short, regular and long to be a best fit for any body stature. While not inexpensive (no good quality bag will be), it is certainly a good value in its class. Agree? Disagree?
