Marmot - Trestles Elite Eco 20° Women’s

I got a long bag for a great price. I stuff extra clothes in the bottom to take up the extra space because my feet end up cold if I don’t. I learned my lesson and bought a regular bag when I needed a colder bag.

That’s why I bought a shorter bag when I needed a bag with a lower temperature rating. It’s much better.

If you're going to buy a Marmot, buy the eco version as they'll pack down much smaller....but that Cosmic's a solid pick

I would steer clear of Amazon unless you find something from a big-name outdoor brand on there (marmot, big Agnes, mountain hardwear, Nemo, to name a few). A no-name Chinese brand bag is probably not going to meet quality or temperature expectations. Your local REI would be a good resource. Their house branded stuff is trustworthy. SierraTrading (TJmaxx for outdoor gear) usually has a decent selection of name brand options. I have a 20° marmot bag from there that was $80. Buy a bag that’s at least 10° colder than the temperatures you expect to encounter. Caveat is that like most camping equipment, no modern sleeping bag is going to be truly BIFL, they are wear items at the end of the day. In a hammock, the compression of the bag underneath your weight will always hinder the insulation ability. This can be mitigated with a foam or air-filled sleeping pad. You may have to experiment to find one that fits your hammock, fits your dry bag, and keeps you warm enough, so I would say this is something you could grab on Amazon for ~$20. Edit: didn’t register your parts about the under quilt but yeah it’s just a matter of spending money and experimenting, unfortunately

For casual three-season camping around 0°C, synthetic’s way easier on the wallet. Marmot Trestles or Kelty Cosmic Down alternative bags hold up fine, and you don’t freak out about melting water or sweat ruining insulation.

Used Marmot Treasles Elite Eco. You can find these used on eBay and REI ReSupply for around $50 or less often.

Love my Marmot Trestles!

Marmot Trestles line are good deals on good bags. If you’re younger, just get a blue foam pad.

Western Mountaineering, Feathered Friends or Marmot for bags. Enlightened Equipment, Hammock Gear or Katabatic for backpacking quilts. Not cheap but quality and comfortable.

For a lot of backpacking brands, if you buy 2 bags; one with a left zipper and one with a right zipper ; you can simply zip them together (along with using them independently. I have Marmot bags that do this so my wife and I can carry our own gear but sleep together.

The Ice hotel in Montreal gives its tourists North Face and Marmot bags. They've seemed to hold up impressively to both repeated use and unprepared newbs. We weren't cold at all
