bonathanjarrett Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Any recommendations out there for a synthetic alpine sleeping bag? Weight and compressibility are obviously a concern. I would like to keep it under 2.5 lbs. Temp rating around 25-32 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I like my Integral Designs Renaissance. It is just outside of the ranges you specified though: 2lbs 14oz and they rate it at 20 F / -5 C. Check one out at ProMountain Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideT61 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I have an REI Nooksack +35F bag. It is 2lbs 4oz, uses Promaloft and seems to be rated conservatively. I've used it in 15F temp with a belay jacket and was very warm. For the price it is hard to beat. $159.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonathanjarrett Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Has anybody bought or used the new Marmot Pounder (40 degrees) or Pounder Plus (25 degrees)? It is not on their website yet, but it is for sale. Wondering what the verdict is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Has anybody bought or used the new Marmot Pounder (40 degrees) or Pounder Plus (25 degrees)? It is not on their website yet, but it is for sale. Wondering what the verdict is. If you're prepared to consider bags rated to 40 degrees then check out the MEC Penguin 2 Overbag of the other slightly warmer Penguin. It really depends on how light you want to go. I've used one of these in the Cascades in the summer, wearing all my clothes inside it. It also works well as an overbag in winter (skip the GTX bivvi bag, use this instead). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
