Scout Tracker +5°F

This is a very nice sleeping bag that is comfortable, lightweight, and very portable for backpacking. While it's not the thinnest or lightest, it is a great value and a very high quality product. I bought two of these - one for me, one for my wife - and we have used them in both car camping with my child and also back country backpacking. This bag works great and I am very happy with this purchase. Here are my thoughts: 1. The 20 degree rating is a survival rating. For comfort, add about 20 degrees - call it a 40 degree bag. If it's going to be warmer than that, you can leave the bag partially unzipped. If it's colder, you will need a base layer to help you preserve your body heat. 2. This bag works fine for me as far as size - I'm about six feet and average build. There's plenty of room for my feet (which stay good and warm by the way) as well as tucking in your head if I choose to. I normally leave my head out and just wear a cap if it gets too cold. 3. The bag is very durable. We have used our bags numerous times and there have been no problems with the zippers or the construction. 4. There's no need for a compression sack - this compresses pretty small as is. Again, we love these. It's not the lightest, the most insulated, or the biggest brand name, but it is very good and durable for the price. I highly recommend this to my fellow backpackers without hesitation.

I do quite a bit of camping in the brush. Often 2-3 times a month. I preferably sleep by a fire, directly outside in the elements, and under a tarp or under nothing at all. I use a cheap sleeping pad For comfort and bit of insulation from the ground. With nothing but moisture wicking long johns and wool socks, This bag kept me warm in 18 degrees with 4 inches of snow in the surrounding creek bottom. We woke up to 2+ more inches of snow on the ground. My feet never even a hint of cold weather exposure. They stayed comfortable all night. The micro fleece inside is very cozy and my favorite thing about the bag. I hate sleeping bag materials, So this was quiet a relief. The wind was steady and crept in through the mummy hole, I tightened it down as far as it would crimp up leaving about. 1-2 inch hole for breathing fresh air on occasion. I simply faced the hole away from the wind so I wouldn’t suffocate in the bag or suffer from wind blast through the hole. Excessive wind can just be blocked by a pillow. Aside from the mummy hole - no wind made its way inside. I’m 5’11” with a 31” waist, Medium shirt size - smaller build guy. This bag is as small as I would ever want to go. Almost no room inside once it’s zipped up and I have no more head room hardly at all. My camp buddy made fun of me cause I was sleeping like Dracula Stuffed in a tiny coffin. I like to sit up on my sleeping pad and hang out around the camp fire. This bag made it impossible to sit with my legs crossed, but it has a two way zipper - I just opened the zipper from the bottom of the bag and was able to sit Inside the feet portion with my legs crossed the way I wanted and had the rest of the bag to wrap around me. Before discovering this method - I was super disappointed with not being able to sit Up in my bag comfortably. Although it’s a bit tight - This bag is now my favorite winter bag. I’ve tested It in record lows for my region and it easily passed. It’s also pretty lightweight and compresses in a compression sack extremely well. Highly recommend budget sleeping sack!

As other's have said, this is a great entry level bag for your money. I have had mine for a year now and I have enjoyed many camping and backpacking trips with it. I have slept comfortably in 70 degree summer weather where I was able to sleep with the zipper open out under the stars and in weather in the low 30's and I was kept toasty warm the whole night while being layered with socks and a beanie on the inside (as the old mountain saying goes, if you are feeling cold in the outdoors, put on a cap!). The bag is reasonably light and it stuffs very well into the included stuff sack. In general it gets high marks for warmth, comfort, and portability. However, I knocked a star off and have given it four stars for two reasons. The first is that the zipper is difficult to zip up and regularly gets caught on the material inside and outside of the bag. The last thing you want to be doing when you are encased in this bag like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and trying to get some rest is fighting your zipper in the dark. The second reason for a four star rating is the poor design of the Velcro attachment point for the strap that secures the top most zipped portion nearest your head. My first or second night out with the bag the Velcro attachment point ripped halfway off the bag and has since only been partially effective in meeting its function. These nuisances aside, this is a great bag bound to keep you warm in above zero degree Fahrenheit temperatures as long as you are smart about your layering. Happy camping and backpacking!

I bought this for some late-fall motorcycle camping. I chose this bag because it is warm, reasonably priced, packs down small and is pretty light (not ultralight, but good for my purposes). Temps got down into the 30s and I remained warm throughout the night. I did have sleeping pad underneath the bag, too. No bag will keep you warm year round unless you have a proper sleeping pad/mattress with desired R value

This sleeping bag is rated 2 degrees celsius comfort, -7 limit, -15 extreme.

This is a fantastic sleeping bag for the money. It is not considered light weight for some long distant hikers but, I do motorcycle camping and its light enough and small enough for that. I do mainly spring summer fall camping and this bag keeps me warm. I did a fall camping trip in Canada's Coastal mountains at 7000 ft elevation and i was a little cool (- 4C), nothing that flannel pants and a shirt didn't solve. Its very well made and I found they made the bag a little larger than your traditional mummy bag. As a 6' 3" 250 lb man the bag was comfortable to sleep in. Teton also made a larger than normal foot box so there is some movement for your feet, which i appreciate. The colour is a nice red and grey. The material used inside the bag is very comfortable and warm. The fabric on the outside appears to be very durable. The zippers work great. As with any bag I recommend a self inflating sleeping matt for warmth and comfort from the rocks, sticks etc. I highly recommend this sleeping bag for people that don't want to spend a fortune and get value instead. It is exceptionally well made. As with any sleeping bag be sure to store it out of its storage bag and hang it up or lay it on a spare room bed to retain its loft until your next camping trip, the bag will last for years. I don't regret buying it. Value in this case does not mean compromise. I have had this sleeping bag for years and its still the one I use. I would not hesitate to buy again. Teton makes great products.

Very comfortable, it also is very compact. Will be used regularly!

NOT comfortable at 20F/-7C, but usable down to around freezing. Best at 40F/5C and above. You will NOT be comfortable at 20F/-7C with this sleeping bag, in fact you'd be far too cold to sleep. However, with thermal underwear, warm socks, a beanie (or head covering of some sort), a quality sleeping pad, and inside of a 4-season tent, I've used this sleeping bag in sub-zero temperatures without any real issues. That being said, anything below freezing is uncomfortable, even with the above mentioned gear. Just remember not to open it once you settle in for the night, or you'll lose a lot of heat... In terms of comfort (which highly depends on the individual), I'd say it's "acceptable" down to around 32F/0C (while wearing the aforementioned cold weather gear), and warm or "comfortable" down to around 40F/5C (with the mentioned gear). The 20F/-7C rating is likely the "survivable" temperature, at which you would be very uncomfortable and likely unable to sleep due to the cold, but not die from hypothermia. I've also used it in warmer temperatures by simply reducing what I wear while sleeping, and leaving the bag unzipped. Overall it's a quality sleeping bag, light weight, and offers much better size/warmth performance of any sleeping bag anywhere near the price. I've used mine for a number of years now and recently bought two more for friends, as it is better than anything found in German stores for anywhere near the price. Highly recommended for backpackers/trekkers who don't plan to sleep in temperatures much colder than 40F/5C (unless you have additional quality cold weather gear). A compression sack is necessary to further reduce the size; my medium sea-to-summit compression sack holds my sleeping bag, inflatable pillow, thermal underwear, beanie, gloves, warm socks, and a few other soft/compressible items, yet is still smaller than the sleeping bag is without a compression sack). As for a compression sack, I recommend Sea to Summit, as I've had mine for years and never had any issues.

Soft, warm, and well-made.neat stitching, no weird smell. Lightweight and packs small—great for school or trips. Fantastic value for the price!
