Frequently Asked questions
What is a good/acceptable weight for an ultralight sleeping bag?
For summer-early autumn use, 1lb 2oz / 500g is a reasonable maximum. Even at this weight, a bag will have less ventilation / fewer warmth-retaining features - going lower than this will often mean a narrower (less comfortable) shape and more fragile materials.
What temperature ratings are available in ultralight sleeping bags?
Taking 1lb 2oz as an ‘ultralight’ maximum, the lower limit will be around 30°F / 0°C. This requires costly high-loft down, lightweight materials and complex construction. Extend the weight limit to 1lb 10oz / 750g (keeping the high-end materials and construction), and 20°F / -7°C is possible.
Are all ultralight sleeping bags made with down? Are there synthetic/vegan ultralight sleeping bag options?
Synthetic insulation does not insulate as well as down (so more fill is needed to achieve the same temperature). Also, the market for synthetic sleeping bags is price point driven, and ultralight bags need more complex (more expensive) construction – so there are very few truly lightweight synthetic options beyond summer-only bags.
