The North Face Aleutian 50F Synthetic Sleeping Bag Long

Got this bag for summer backpacking in the Ga mountains/field area. I work as a field instructor for a wilderness therapy program for kids. Our gear is so important. Its Great lightweight and small packing bag. Biggest complaint is the velco straps at corner of bag. Mine continues to stick to my bag liner and its making it get fuzzy. Worse is how it sticks to my bug bivy and is ruining the netting. Its a huge con as my bivy is essential and EXPENSIVE gear. I can't just replace the netting. I had to cut the tabs off and cover them with duct tape to not further damage both items. There is no need for velcro.

An amazing fit for what I was looking for. Not too big to keep in your pack. The temp rating fits perfect for this sleeping bag. Used it at the end of spring and it was a very enjoyable stay. I would strongly recommend this sleeping bag to anyone who is thinking of camping this season in warmer climates.

Not to warm but not cold. When I sleep I tend to get fairly hot. This sleeping bag is roomy enough that it's not to warm and allows for circulation with the zipper slightly undone.

I don't sleep well when I am hot, but I like to be under covers, so this sleeping bag is perfect because I can be inside and stay cool.

The sleeping bag packs down small in its own bag. It will cinch down even more if you add a compression bag or straps. I don't buy down anything for my own reasons, so for a bag this light and excellent compression is great. The material is solid enough for many repetitive outings. I'm using this as a 3 season light weight bag with a hammock, sleeping pad. I recommend extra layers if you know it will dip into the 40's. Anything beyond that, please bring another bag. I'm will be doing a lot of 2 to 3 day thru hikes this season, so this fits in my 40 liter bag perfectly. I also backpack up to 70 pounds, but normally that's to a place I will stay at for a few days. For thru hikes I like to be light and minimal. This is welcomed gear in my pack. Highly recommended instead of down.

Camping is something I do every year, but for the last ten years I have slept in others tents or out on my lounge chair. Three years ago I borrowed my friends tent & bag and was in heaven, he recommended that it was well worth the investment. I must agree with that statement, no matter where I go or how I sleep I know that I will be comfortable, warm and free of heavy bulky gear.
