I purchased a Kelty Light Year XP 20 Sythetic Male sleeping bag...I love Kelty and have a LOT of their gear...But every time I have used this bag, I froze to death.
For instance:
Cherokee, NC (Beside a creek)
Kelty Yellowstone 6 man
Queen Air Mattress
Fleece on top of the mattress
Temp Low was 26
Result=Way to cold to sleep...had to start a fire...
Pilot Mt. In the trees
REI Kingdom 6 man
Large Queen Air Mattress
Fleece on top of the mattress
Temp Low was 34
Result=Very cold inside the bag
Kimesville Lake
Kelty Grand Mesa 2
Stansport Backpacking Air Mattress
1/8" Closed Cell Cosslink on top of mattress
Temp Low was 32ish
Result=Froze
What the? It's not like I'm a sissy or nothing. I'm 6' and 200lbs...(Im personally well insulated ...
Anyone have this problem and would the Down vs. Synthetic be better?
Tire of being cold....
