Kaufland 40º Superlite Mummy Sleeping Bag Green/Black

Initial Review: Haven't used it yet, but my initial impressions are favorable. First off; I was looking for a cheap, warm-weather sleeping bag for backpacking, and I think that's what I've found. This bag is cheap (even warm weather bags are at least $100 from big-name manufacturers...of course, those will be better made and probably better designed and will have more features...but on a budget this should work perfectly), it is light (listed as 1.75lb, I'll check that if I can find a scale), and it compresses very small (if I had to guess, I'd say about 2-3 liters volume when compressed). It also includes a compression sack, which is pretty terrible but is better than just a cinch sack. If this turns out to be a decent sleeping bag, I may order a decent compression sack for it. As for the bag itself, very thin and no I don't agree that it's a 40* bag. Laying in my room with the AC set to 66* I generated plenty of warmth and it could easily work for colder temps than that, but this bag is for summer backpacking, anything under 60* or so and I'll be needing socks and a beanie I'm sure. But since I already have liners for sleeping bags, I got this to be the base in a modular system, adding a fleece or silk liner to be able to use this bag until the weather is cold enough to merit the use of my 20* bag. Bottom line; if you want a very compact bag for indoor sleepovers or if you want a summer-weight backpacking bag, this will work great. If you add a sleeping bag liner, you'll extend the range of this bag down into the 50's, and if you dress warmly and have a good tent and a liner bag I can see this working down into the 40's. Just don't expect miracles from a $25 sleeping bag ;)

5 stars is based on all things considered. I did a bicycle tour with this bag half way across the country, from Kitty Hawk NC to Larned KS in the summer of 2015. Here are my observations.Pros...Can't beat the price!Very light and extremely stuffable.Fit me perfectly (5'8" 160#).Material feels good inside.Comfortable down to about 50°.The pull string works good to seal up around your head on cooler nights.Never failed in any way, still works like new.Cons...Zipper catches some. Helps to use a finger to spread it as you zip.If not careful you can completely unzip it and it is a pain to get the zipper together and working again, especially in the middle of the night! I always intended to sew the zipper together at the bottom to prevent this aggravation but never got around to it. That is my biggest negative with this bag.The bag is so soft and light weight that it's easy to get it sort of twisted around if you squirm or turn over a lot in your sleep. Unless you are conscience of it you kind of lose track of where the zipper is.To sum it up, this has been a great light weight bag for bike touring in warmer weather. Any colder than 50s and you'll want something warmer. For the second half of my cross country cycling adventure I will use a Kelty 20° bag for the cold nights in the Rockies

I used this for the 220 mile section of the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mt, Georgia, to Newfound Gap in the Smokies of TN. I started in mid May and ended in June and this bag never let me down. It kept me warm without fail even with some nights dipping to the mid 50's. While I am quite slender, I'm still 6'4" and felt I had plenty of room to move.I wanted something light and small since I had to bring a tent with me and pack room was at a premium. I was able to fit this bag (compressed in a Sea to Summit eVent medium compression sack) along with a  Klymit Inertia O Zone Lightweight Camping Air Pad, Blue/Gray  and my Jetboil all in the sleeping bag compartment of my pack without a fight.Pro's:Very lightVery compactWarm for summer monthsSurprisingly durable (in my experience)Cons:Interior material is close to (if not the same) as outside and can be tacky when it's humid or sweat is present.Zipper likes to stickAll in all, it's hard to go wrong with this for $25. If you can get several trips out of it and then it should happen to shred, be happy with the purchase and get another; that was my mindset when buying this.

I bought this over 3 years ago and have used it with and without a fleece liner for over 30 camping nights ranging from the mid 60’s down to one night in Colorado (with the $10 fleece liner) where there was frost on the ground in the morning, so 34-ish. That night I had to throw on some layers over my thermals, and I still shivered. That said, I usually sleep in thermal long baselayers (lightweight Hot Chili brand) and an Under Armor Cold Gear beanie, and Smartwool midwieght socks. I am 6’4” and 220lbs, and this bag fits me well. It is thin, and lightweight, with not much synthetic insulation inside, but that is what you want in warmer temps, and so I made a sleep system out of it. Many nights without the liner down in the 50’s and was comfy. If it was to get in the lower to mid forties, I’d probably use the fleece liner to stay comfortable, but I’d also use the liner if it went into the high 30’s, although I might consider or have my puffy jacket or just hiking clothes next to me or on. All in all, it was worth it, for a cheap and lightweight bag. If you are not tall, then there may be similar bags that are more your height, and you can have less weight to carry.
