Hyke & Byke - Eolus 800 FP 30°F Down Sleeping Bag

Hey! Just chiming in as someone who’s done quite a few budget-friendly trips (including the Rockies!). You're totally right to look into **Featherstone** — solid brand for the price, especially their **Backpack UL 2P**. It's light, packs small, and holds up well in 3-season conditions. For sleeping bags, here are a couple of budget options that won’t leave you freezing at night: * **REI Trailbreak 20** – around $100, synthetic fill, decent warmth-to-weight ratio for beginners. * **Hyke & Byke Eolus 30°F** (down) – if you can stretch a bit more, this one’s warm, packable, and lighter than synthetic. Also check out **Naturehike tents** – their Cloud Up 2 is budget ultralight gold if you’re okay with slightly less durability. Tip: Don’t forget a good sleeping pad — something like the **Klymit Static V** helps way more than you’d think for warmth and comfort. You’re doing great researching this now — the Rockies can be unpredictable even in spring, so solid gear will pay off. Let me know if you want recs for budget stoves or other essentials!

For a bag? Check out the down offerings from Hyke and Byke. Obviously not a name brand, but I bought two. A 0* and a 30*. They are both excellent.

he's looking for a budget bag, I gave him one. I'm sorry you had bad luck, but I am still rocking my Hyde and bike from 5 years ago. How are you caring for your gear?
