| As a side and stomach sleeper, I despise mummy-style sleeping bags. I always feel too confined, and, in the morning, my hip flexors are tight and sore. For a long time, I thought that was my cross to bear as a backpacker who wanted a lightweight bag, until I found NEMO’s Disco 15 Sleeping Bag ($300). |
| The Disco 15 has a more generous, roomy fit than a typical mummy bag, with what NEMO calls a “spoon shape.” There’s extra space for my elbows and knees, allowing me to roll around and splay out in comfort. |
| While it’s not ultralight at 3 pounds, 5 ounces, the bag is certainly light enough to bring on a week-long backpacking trip. |
| Perhaps most importantly for camping/backpacking gear, this bag is durable. I’ve had it for 5 years, and it’s seen everything: mud, sweat, and my dogs (and their vomit). When I snuggle up in the Disco 15 to go to bed, I’m just as warm and cozy as I was on night 1. |
