REI Travel Sack +55
Traveling in the mountain regions of Central America it can get cold. Many times those 5 dollar rooms don't offer extra blankets on those chilly nights. I carry a set of insulated underwear, but even then I can remember shivering through the night under a thin blanket. I purchased this light weight sleeping bag from REI.com to make life a little more pleasant.
Plus there are those times when the bed sheets are questionable and a light weight sleeping bag would be nice to have.
The bag weighs 27 ounces and packs real tight (6x11 stuff sack size.) My sandal size is 11 inches.
When unzipped it makes a nice blanket. I'm really impressed how the upper and lower widths are almost equal.
The construction seems to be good quality. The zipper has a light weight baffle to keep out the cold air.
The arrow points to a zipper that you can dangle your left arm out and the bottom of the bag unzips to let your feet breath or you can even walk around with the bag on. Also, there is a little chest pocket on the outside, but I would have preferred the chest pocket on the inside.
The built-in hood is a must feature to have in my opinion.
The bag will set you back about $59.00 dollars plus tax and shipping. I've purchased REI gear before and it holds up well and the travel gear is pretty affordable. So I hope this bag will serve me well on those chilly nights that await me.
