10 Reviews: Best Down Sleeping Bags (Apr 2024)

For anyone on a budget, Kelty Cosmic is a great pick. Rated at 20 degrees, this mummy-shaped bag is capable of three-season backpacking. Two colors are available: blue and vapor. This sleeping bag is a stuffed with 600-fill Drawdown that keeps you warm as if you were in your own room. Not to mention the pocket to keep your essentials handy.

Who knew? A sleeping bag for women - so glad I discovered it. This bag is amazing and I'm glad I came across it and got it. It is lightweight and compact. Very comfortable with great features - roomier at the hips with extra insulation at the mid-section and feet. I also purchased the guys version for my husband and he also seemed impressed.

If you’re a down bag snob, Snowmass is a must-have item. Hyke & Byke designed a lightweight and compressible sleeping bag that is perfect to accompany your adventure, no matter what the weather says. It provides warmth for four seasons with the help of a Hydrophobic 650FP, a total of 930 grams of fill weight, and a DWR-coated 400T 20D rip-stop nylon shell.

I'm beyond pleased with my snowmass zero degree down sleeping bag! Hiking to 6,000 feet before I hit a snowmass. I rushed to set-up camp before the rain arrived. Crawled into my beautiful, excellent, beyond cozy/warm quality bag and listened to the rain fall for 30 minutes. I highly recommend this bag for all backcountry, through-hikes, as this bag is simply the best!

This sleeping bag provides you enough room for your feet to roam and a comfy hood to warm your noggin. If you want to keep your belongings affordable, you can stow it in the available internal stash.

I picked this up and have been using it over the past summer season in Alaska. it has kept me plenty warm and dry. I also love how small it packs up.

Need the one with a pillow barn? No need to hesitate, Big Agnes Anvil Horn is the answer! Make sure your head gets a place that it deserves so you can sleep soundly until the sun comes up. How about your feet? Calm down, this sleeping bag also offers a generous footbox for you to get your favorite sleeping position. As for the temperature rating, you may choose 0°F, 15°F, 30°F, or 45 F.

Like most Big Agnes products, well made and very user friendly. The pad sleeve on the back and pillow sleeve on the inside make the bag so comfortable, it feels like cheating in the outdoors.

Who here is the side sleepers? The perk of having a Spoon™ shaped bag is the availability of a wider space than the mummy shape. It means that you can sleep in whatever style you want. When the temperature drops, Nemo Disco hugs you like a cocoon, but you can also unzip the ThermoGills to let out warm air.

Great bag, I have the large size, very comfortable with lots of room to toss and turn. I’m 6’ 3” 245 pounds and this is the only bag I have owned that doesn’t make me feel claustrophobic! Great weight and size for serious back packing.

Sueño Sleeping Bag by Cotopaxi boasts a superior weight-to-warmth ratio. Featuring an 800-fill duck down and a weight of only 2lb 13oz, this sleeping case will be the ultimate sleeping bag for space-saving and weight. Its tantalizing warmth makes you crawl in the sack even when it’s sunny. Also, didn’t you see how cool this product look is? You will make other hikers jealous!

I Never would have thought that I would spend so much on a sleeping bag, but this... this right here, takes outdoor living comfort to a new level. Seriously, this thing is amazingly comfortable. Took it down to Costa Rica and it kept me cool in the hot jungle and warm on the cool mornings. Definitely one of the best investments I’ve made. Full disclosure... I buy stuff from these guys all the time ?

The North Face One Bag Sleeping Bag is rated to keep you warm when temperatures drop to single digits without making a fuss. Your package includes interchangeable layers to configure it for 5°F, 20°F, or 40°F temps, helping you face all the challenges in a breeze. Even cooler, the mid-layer also converts to a shawl for added versatility.

This bag is great. Three bags in one. The easy to zip in and out panels make choosing for your adventure a breeze. Highly recommend for anyone camping, in varied climes, with a budget in mind. You no longer need multiple bags for different occasions.

The Western Mountaineering HighLite Sleeping Bag is an ideal choice for any outing when sub-freezing weather is imminent. It gets rid of any unnecessary weight so your steps become lighter and your shoulders will thank you for it. Boasting 850+ fill down and weighing just a pound, this down feather will keep you warm at 35ºF anywhere on earth.

I really enjoy this sleeping bag. It is incredibly lightweight and smashes down into the size of a loaf of bread. Super nice for when you are trying to keep your pack weight down. I'd say the temp rating is pretty accurate. I always hike with a light puffy coat, and usually sleep with that on in the high country which adds a bit of warmth. Prepare to layer up if the temps drop below 30.

This mummy bag should be your consideration if you have no issues with the budget. It is built with a top-notch quality that resists wear and tear. With comfort in mind, REI Magma provides a bit extra space for the knees and feet which is perfect for resting your feet after a long journey. Rated at 15 degrees, this cocoon will keep you toasty as if sleeping by the fireplace.

This is the best sleeping bag I have ever purchased. I might buy another just to have them forever lol. Really though the bag is very light and very warm. I used it in a tent while camping in the mountains of Colorado (Over 12,000 feet). I was toasty the entire time!

Finally, the Flicker UL Quilt Sleeping Bag by Feathered Friends makes you pay more but also gets everything you expect: maximum comfort, warm footbox, full center-zip, and 950+ goose down fill. Everything is designed without sacrificing weight, which is less than a pound and packs down to 8 liters. Still not enough? Small webbing loops are provided for use as a hammock under quilt.

The quality is amazing, I like the special touches like the snaps to create a draft collar, and the ones at the feet. Plus the put a snap at the top of the zipper to allow you to open the bag up to vent without losing the seal. Plus the loft on the bag is incredible. The handcrafted bag is top notch. Thank you again for building the perfect quilt/bag to keep me warm while hiking the PCT in March.
