BackpackerandNo.8217;s Mummy Sleeping BagThe Suisse Sport Adventure extra-small sleeping bag is ideal for long treks when a few inches or pounds can make the difference between a pleasant hike and an unbearable slog. The mummy bag is ultra-compact, compressing down to 12 by 7 by 7 inches when in the stuff sack. How small is that? Well, it's petite enough to hold in the palm of your hand. That means you can easily fit the bag in your hiking pack without using up a third of your pack space. At the same time, the bag is warm and comfortable, with a 100-percent polyester ripstop outer and inner lining, a double-layer construction, and a 700-gram Micro Tekk.7 high-performance microfiber insulation. The construction materials ad up to a 30-degree F temperature rating, making the bag a good choice for summer, spring, and fall camping trips. Other details include a full chest baffle, a draft tube, and a utility pocket. The Adventure sleeping bag measures 29.5 by 84.5 inches (W x L) when open and weighs 2.9 pounds in the stuff sack. The bag is also machine-washable for easy cleaning.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Can't beat it!
I decided to give this a try even though I could not find any information on the web about them.
The short version is, this is an excellent bag and you would have to spend over $100 to get a better one.
its well made and so far has been very warm in sub 50'F temps. I would not hesitate to use this at its 30' rating. It has all the same features as the rest of the bags on the market. Its comfy and very light, Although I would not really call it ultralight, but since it compresses down so small, it fits my needs just fine.
the guy holding it in the picture must have massive hands! its not quite that small unless you spend an hour compressing it.
But, Its small enough just by stuffing it into the compression sack and synching up the straps, I can fit this, with the rest of my gear into my 3000ci pack. So I really don't care if its half a pound heavier than the $100 bags.
The compression straps are slightly different than the photo. But otherwise, The...

Serious Abuse
I have owned this bag for almost a year now. I have taken it on countless trips (countless equals 10 to 20) including Sedona, the Grand Canyon, the Superstition Wilderness, and Coon Creek. I have used it in temperatures ranging from 28 to 70 degrees F. I have kicked it, squished it, sat on it, soaked it, and covered it in campfire sparks and so far it shows no sign of wear.
It is a very light, small bag; though not as small as the picture makes it seem (look at the customer pictures to get a better idea). It takes some effort to get it into the stuff sack - usually takes about five minutes. It is very light; I think the Amazon description is right about the weight.
This bag did not keep me comfortable below 40 degrees F, though at 40 and above it was quite nice. I ended up getting a silk liner for it, and that made it tolerable down to 28, though it was still a little chilly. The zipper, collar, and hood configuration are convenient and comfortable, but...
Good but not great
The sleeping bag itself is great. Its tall, it cinches around your face, it has a pocket inside with a zipper, it's warm, it's light.
BUT, as soon as I got it, I took it out of the box and saw that it wasn't compressed. I wanted to show my sister how the compression sack worked but as I started to pull on the second strap, the cheap plastic buckle snapped into 3 pieces. I couldn't believe it. I was leaving on my trip in a week and had no time to return it for a new one. I just tied that strap into a knot and it seemed to work alright.
So, #1 great bag
#2 cheap plastic buckles that break when you pull on them
My recommendation is to get the bag because it's great but when compressing, pull slowly a little at a time on each strap as you turn the bag. If you do that, it really does get as small as the picture.
Oh, and you don't have to roll up the bag to get it in the sack. Just jam it in, it works without a lot of effort.
