Kelty Chinook Sleeping Bag

I am not an arctic mountain climber or anything like this, but I actually do prefer to continue extended canoe and camping trips with my spouse. Both of us make use of the Kelty Chinook sleeping bag (20 degree model) because it's not hard to pack, keeps water out (even if we hit just a little whitewater now and then) and keeps us both warm within our tent from spring to fall. Your decision remained as much as me, and considering myself a frugal man I had been following the most bang for my buck. The Chinook has shown to be an ideal sleeping bag since it isn't too hot for mid-summer canoe trips but additionally keeps us nice toasty to the early fall season.

That might be enough for me personally, but my spouse is after comfort along with warmth. The Qualofill stuffing and taffeta lining have the desired effect on her, and then we both obtain a restful slumber (thankfully! ). On our first trip with this new sleeping-bags, I had been pleased to discover that our Chinooks packed up fast and simple, and took hardly any room within our storage boxes. Our old sleeping-bags were cheap mall models, used lots of room and forced us to bring along extra blankets simply to stay warm - even just in summer. Not the Chinooks!

Temperature-wise, the warmest night we've slept during these bags has existed 70 degrees, and that we both slept soundly (though Used to do unzip the bag to let just a little air in - she was happy though! ). On a single memorable visit to southern Ohio last fall it got right down to around 25, and that we both stayed cozy during the night. I do not think I'd recommend this bag to serious cold-weather aficionados, however for average campers like us the Kelty Chinook has served us perfectly - and it is affordable. Recommended!
