REI Co-op - Radiant 20 Sleeping Bag

REI Flash 55 - $140 (30% off) REI Radiant 20 (if you want sleeping bag instead of quilt - $140 (30% off) If you need a sleeping pad too, REI Helix at $120 is also not a bad deal; I agree with the person above who said Big Agnes Rapide is another great choice, $150 for the regular wide right now. The other people’s advice about shop re/supply for a tent is solid - as long as you know how to inspect for quality (make sure rain fly is in good shape). But if you want something new, REI TrailMade 1 will be cheapest right now at $125, if you are small enough to fit in a 1 person comfortably. Swap out the included stakes for lightweight ones. Half Dome is heavy but more comfortable. So — yup could be looking at $525 or so if you are buying 4 major items (backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent), and you already have $400 in gift cards. Not a bad way to start at all.

Then I'd say the new REI Radiant 20. It's a mostly down bag, but with synthetic in the footbox to accommodate sweat and if it gets wet in the night from rain (because most people stretch out and end up putting their feet against the tent wall which might have condensed). The Kelty Cosmic is a close second.

That looks legit! And it has a draft collar which for me personally helps keeps you extra cozy. It’s essentially a sleeping bag scarf that goes around your neck to block a draft. Hence the name I guess :p. I think this bag with your Nemo sleeping pad should be good! If you are a cold sleeper I can’t recommend enough having a nice filling warm meal prior to hitting the hay. I like mashed potatoes and bacon and then do some jumping jacks and get in bed 🤣 I hope you have a great time soaking in all the sights and sounds of Yosemite my friend.

I'd look at the [Kelty Cosmic 20](https://www.rei.com/product/231267/kelty-cosmic-20-sleeping-bag-mens?sku=2312670002&store=102&CAWELAID=120217890018009653&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=147758259799&CATCI=aud-830183485327:pla-2021410583250&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_2312670002%7C2021410583250%7CBA%7C71700000074421743&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7dm-BhCoARIsALFk4v-rxEXOce1pDojIDEZWkM93aGHIX8ftGRu5cd42LJb4rPbpf-LBnlAaArhqEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds). A down bag for just $149. Take 20% off and you're looking at $120. Tested comfort on Cosmic is 31 degrees. If you want something slightly warmer, the new [REI Radiant](https://www.rei.com/product/245179/rei-co-op-radiant-20-sleeping-bag) at $199 (just $159 after coupon). This has more fill, and varying sizes to choose from. Tested comfort 25. Weight almost the same, but the REI has better down, and more fill weight. The other option would be to buy a 30 degree bag, and a decent liner. I'm a big fan of liners because they not only help add a little warmth, they help keep the bag clean. There are a handful of Mountain Hardwear Bishop Pass 30 bags currently on outlet. So you could use the 20% outlet coupon there, and the 20% regular coupon on a liner. Just a thought. Pad also means a great deal. A Therm-a-Rest Neoair is going to be considerably warmer than a Z-Lite, especially if the ground is cold underneath you.
