Suisse Sport Adventurer Sleeping Bag

I decided to give this a try even though I could not find any information on the web about them. The short version is, this is an excellent bag and you would have to spend over $100 to get a better one. its well made and so far has been very warm in sub 50'F temps. I would not hesitate to use this at its 30' rating. It has all the same features as the rest of the bags on the market. Its comfy and very light, Although I would not really call it ultralight, but since it compresses down so small, it fits my needs just fine. the guy holding it in the picture must have massive hands! its not quite that small unless you spend an hour compressing it. But, Its small enough just by stuffing it into the compression sack and synching up the straps, I can fit this, with the rest of my gear into my 3000ci pack. So I really don't care if its half a pound heavier than the $100 bags. The compression straps are slightly different than the photo. But otherwise, The description on amazon is accurate. I had no problem getting the bag back into the stuff sack and I was not afraid to pull as hard as possible on the compression straps. Although I found that its not necessary to compress it very much, Its good to know Its built well. If you really wanted to save another ounce or two, you could do away with the compression straps alltogether. Once in the stuff sack, it only measures 14x7 then it only compresses down to 12x7 (maybe smaller) UPDATE: (10-4-2010) I've had this bag over a year now and used it more than a dozen times in various situations and conditions. The more I use it, the more I love it. The coldest I've used it was lower 30's on a boat. The temp inside the boat was maybe 34. I was fine sleeping in shorts, socks and a long sleeve shirt. I've slept outside in a tent in low to mid 40's with no issues. I would still completely trust it in 30 degree's with a tent (and some wool socks!). I've also slept comfortably in mid-to-upper 60's outside, as well as room temps indoors. The stuff sack and compression straps have held up just fine, and I don't foresee any problems in the near future. Still a great bag that should easily last several years. UPDATE: (02-01-2012) Still using this bag after 2.5 years. I haven't gone backpacking in a while, but, it's winter, and I live on a boat full time. It gets cold sometimes... This bag is too hot for most nights in sub 40 degree temps inside the boat. But it's come in very handy on those below freezing nights. during the summer, it was a pleasure to sleep on-top of, because of the coolness of the extremely soft shell. It's still in excellent condition after 2.5 years. Most of the past year it has been tossed around, stuffed into lockers, slept upon, and generally used as extra padding in the bunk. The only problem I've had is one of the zipper tags broke off. But, it's no big deal since there are two zipper tags, I just use the other one (the one on the inside of the bag) instead. I still love this bag and consider one of the best deals in this market. If this one ever falls apart (which is highly unlikely), I'd just buy another one. I would never pay more for a sleeping bag again, unless I really needed 0 degree protection, or sub 20 degree comfort. Can't recommend it enough.
