Lafuma Ladies Light 800 Fill Sleeping Bag Review

A decent quality bag. Lightweight. Meets claimed temp rating (my opinion). Good toll.

Pros

• Lightweight
• Depression price
• Comfy shape
• Meets advertised weight and warmth
• Water resistant
• Practiced loft
• Nice hood

Cons

• Not 800 fill power down

Everyone is different when it comes to how much insulation they need at a sure temperature. I find this handbag perfectly adequate at the EN "comfort" rating of 43 degrees F.

I found it durable and lightweight. I don't come across other bags of this quality at this price. Proficient loft, zipper works fine, nice hood. Stuffs down to very modest. Tends to shed h2o from tent condensation when that happened once.

I have used it several years (summer simply) and it seems durable and holds its loft. The model number (800) is the weight, 800 grams, and not the down fill ability. I recall it is 650 down fill power.

The size is a good fit for my 5'-viii" 180 lbs. torso. It might be merely a tiny bit tight for some people, and so cheque the girth measurements before yous purchase.

Information technology appears mine is a slightly older model than shown here, but seems nigh identical in all specifications and appearance.

Pros

• Light
• Very compact
• Warm

When I buy gear, I try to notice the best performance for the money. I was looking for a mode to lighten my pack by switching to a downwards pocketbook. This handbag is around i pound 13 oz and packs up to the size of a loaf of bread. Then, far, I've only logged 4 trips with the pocketbook.

I experience everyone's internal thermometer is different. This is how the handbag worked for me: In 60 caste weather the bag is mode too hot. It feels perfect in 30 degree conditions. I've used it twice where the overnight temps roughshod into the high teens. In those temps I slept in a poly thermals and used a silk purse liner. I was able to stay warm overnight.

I complained the bag was snug, only that is to exist expected in a light purse. More than area = more weight. I am likewise pushing the maximum length of the bag. The specs on the pocketbook stated information technology fit to 6'-2". I am 6'-two", therefore the human foot box gets cold effectually 20 degrees. I have no room left to store a hot-water nalgene bottle in the pes box. When in doubt, get a longer size. The extra ounces are non worth cold toes.

I've read mixed reviews nearly the Lafuma Warm'due north Light 800 sleeping bag, but I've had a skilful feel with it and desire to share my views.

Information technology is squeamish and light at 1lb 13 oz. and packs down to the size of a liter nalgene bottle with the included compression sack. At 5'11'', 180lbs, the mummy design is slim just comfy for my trunk blazon. There is no wasted space in this mummy bag, and I tin't wear multiple layers of vesture inside the bag without feeling squeezed. But I exercise wear a thermal base layer when information technology gets cold, and I stayed comfortable during the first frost of the 2009 winter in PA. I think the temperature rating is fairly authentic as I was comfortable in those near freezing temperatures.

So, not only is the bag small, light and effective, the quality seems very fine every bit far as I'm concerned. The double attachment runs smoothly, the shape and materials are comfy, and the mummy hood cinches down and stays put.

Overall, I think this purse is peachy if you lot can find it on auction similar I did!

This is my get-go backpacking sleeping pocketbook and although information technology carries a 40°F condolement rating, it's nowhere near that. I've spent 5 nights full and on two of those nights, the temps dipped into the mid 40'southward and I was cold!

On those nights where I got cold, I was wearing a poly base of operations layer, a long sleeve poly shirt, shorts, my liner socks, and a constructed cap. When the temps dropped, I had to put on my Duofold long underwear bottoms, hiking socks, and a thin wool sweater. I sleep on my side inside an MSR Microzoid without the rain fly if that matters.

I'm going to go on this bag for summer use as it's very light weight, packs down small-scale, and the zippers piece of work well. I do like the double pull zippers since on warmer nights my feet tend to sweat but I'm looking for a new purse for use when the temps forecast below 50F.

The foot box is a little tight when on my back but OK on my side.

Design: Mummy
Fill: 800 make full down

Yep, I detest information technology. Because it's absolutely Not capable of keeping you warm at twoscore°F.

Similar the other reviewer, I've been COOOOOOLD, fifty-fifty with several layers of merino underwear and a thick sweater and socks etc. I'1000 gonne keep it as a summer bag, nothing less.
