ALPS Mountaineering Slick Rock Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Primaloft    Read other reviews of this product
 
Compact...but NOT a 20 degree bag   10-29-09   

I bought this as a way to lighten my load on overnight backpack trips with my scouts during the late spring, summer and early fall. I have used it from the Uinta Mountains of Utah to the slickrock canyons of the Dirty Devil. It's very compact and compresses smaller than the included stuff sack. It is reasonably light weight (especially for the $40 I paid on SAP), but it is nowhere near a 20 degree bag! I sleep warm to begin with and I had some chills on a 35 degree night. The temp rating is more of a survival rating...add 10 to 15 degrees for a comfort rating. I will be keeping it, though, for an all around light weight bag I don't mind trashing a bit on trips.
