Teton Sports Celsius XL 0-Degree Sleeping Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have yet to find something bad to say about this sleeping bag. I am 6' and 225# and slip into and out of this bag with ease. I can move and stretch in a warm and cozy environment. The coldest I have slept in so far has been in the mid-teens. I slept very well. It is light and great for backpacking. The price was half of similar bags I viewed and it also had free shipping. A true hidden diamond.

Tired of squeezing into confining mummy bags? Turn to the Teton Sports Celsius XL oversized sleeping bag, an extra-large bag that's ideal for campers of any size. The Celsius XL--which offers a temperature rating of 32 degrees F (or 0 degrees C)--is filled with SuperLoft elite four-channel hollow fiber insulation, which helps keep the chill out on fall, spring, and summer evenings. The bag also offers zippers on both the left and the right side, so you can zip two Teton bags together and create a double bag for couples. Best of all, the bag comes with all the bells and whistles of more expensive bags: shoulder and zipper baffles, an adjustable mummy hood, an interior storage pocket for keys and valuables, and an oxford nylon compression sack for easy packing. The Celsius XL bag comes in black, blue, and olive green colors.

ALPS Mountaineering Mystique Lightweight Backpacking Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a GEARhead. I own or have owned over 30 tents plus all the fixings... Both backpacking as well as car camping. This tent as far as I know did not exist when I rewalked Colin Fletcher's 1000 Mile Summer through California. Had it, I would've of used the 1.5 model. After getting home and settling in from my walk I ran across both the 1.5 and 2. I own both now and can say they both are killer deals in their price range. And yes I own SD, REI, Kelty, Coleman/Exponent, Moss, Slumberjack Bivy (I used) and on and on and on... I have tried many while hiking in the Olympic Mountains in WA. I would put this model(s) up against any listed. If you have money to burn yes there are some that may be better at lasting a little longer but I question that too... and yes you can go lighter in weight... but by going lighter you'll give up a lot of comfort and the security you get knowing that you have a shelter that will handle just about anything Mother nature throws at you. Alps other models I'm not sure of size VS. weight and the value VS. dollars. But this model is absolutely great.
Good luck on your hikes,
Hersh

The Mystique 2 utilizes a lightweight 2-pole design with shock corded 7000 series aluminum poles. The walls are a breathable nylon taffeta. The polyester fly and nylon floor are urethane coated, with factory sealed seams for maximum weatherproofness. Entry and exit are easy with 2 doors and 2 vestibules. We have added an additional rear fly zipper for our 2006 models to make getting in and out of your tent even easier. Ventilation is fantastic with the 2 large mesh doors and the end mesh panels. The full coverage fly keeps you dry in even the biggest rain storms and the large vestibules form "porches" to give you places to store extra gear ... and to look outside without getting soaked! A vent is placed on the end of the fly to increase ventilation even further. It has the option of being zipped open or closed, depending upon the weather. Mesh storage pockets are included inside the tent to help you keep track of your small valuables. Instructions are sewn into the tent storage bag so you never have to worry about not having them with you. All stakes and guy ropes are included.
