40º Superlite Mummy Sleeping Bag Green/Black

5 stars is based on all things considered. I did a bicycle tour with this bag half way across the country, from Kitty Hawk NC to Larned KS in the summer of 2015. Here are my observations. Pros... Can't beat the price! Very light and extremely stuffable. Fit me perfectly (5'8" 160#). Material feels good inside. Comfortable down to about 50°. The pull string works good to seal up around your head on cooler nights. Never failed in any way, still works like new. Cons... Zipper catches some. Helps to use a finger to spread it as you zip. If not careful you can completely unzip it and it is a pain to get the zipper together and working again, especially in the middle of the night! I always intended to sew the zipper together at the bottom to prevent this aggravation but never got around to it. That is my biggest negative with this bag. The bag is so soft and light weight that it's easy to get it sort of twisted around if you squirm or turn over a lot in your sleep. Unless you are conscience of it you kind of lose track of where the zipper is. To sum it up, this has been a great light weight bag for bike touring in warmer weather. Any colder than 50s and you'll want something warmer. For the second half of my cross country cycling adventure I will use a Kelty 20° bag for the cold nights in the Rockies

I am confused about this Kaufland 40F superlight mummy sleeping bag. It is ridiculously small and feels more like a toy. I used it on a 34F fall night in Wisconsin sleeping on fairly warm ground (no snow or ice). I needed to use a small fleece blanket wrapped around me inside it keep me warm most of the night. I did get a cold when it dropped to about 32F for a few hours. But it was tolerable. The mummy hood did zip up nice with the draw string, I zipped it up tight so I would just have a small hole to breath thru. good for that. Yes I know it is only rated at 40F, just giving my story. Which is sort of mixed. As another wrote, the stuff sack did break the first time I used it, it happened to me too. I will find something to replace it. Now going forward, will make this my bag of choice for camps 50F and up (late spring, summer, early fall in WI) as it is incredibly small compressed and I am tired of lugging my cabin sleeping bag around on scout camps. I do hope the quality lasts. With an extra blanket liner I would not be afraid to use it again on 40F night if it happened on accident, just never again below that. Oh ya, I am 6 foot tall and it fits me fine.

I dont like to leave bad reviews without giving the manufacturer a chance, however I ordered this sleeping bag in Feb preparing for a backpacking trip at the end of May.. and I have no recourse as it has been so long.. My own fault.. bummer! At first inspection it seemed adequate and I did not expect cold temps. I actually slept in this for the first time 2 nights ago on the Appalachian Trail. When I went to do the zipper up that night THE END PIECE JUST BROKE OFF OF THE ZIPPER.. it took me forever by flashlight to fix it. I finally got the thing rethreaded and then had to be creative to stop it from opening from the bottom as there was nothing to stop it from unzipping at my feet... I could not move all night for fear of ripping it open and, wouldn't you know it... It got down to 45 degrees that night.. Total fluke weather for North Carolina... Now I need to purchase another sleeping bag before the big family trip over Memorial Day...

Initial Review: Haven't used it yet, but my initial impressions are favorable. First off; I was looking for a cheap, warm-weather sleeping bag for backpacking, and I think that's what I've found. This bag is cheap (even warm weather bags are at least $100 from big-name manufacturers...of course, those will be better made and probably better designed and will have more features...but on a budget this should work perfectly), it is light (listed as 1.75lb, I'll check that if I can find a scale), and it compresses very small (if I had to guess, I'd say about 2-3 liters volume when compressed). It also includes a compression sack, which is pretty terrible but is better than just a cinch sack. If this turns out to be a decent sleeping bag, I may order a decent compression sack for it. As for the bag itself, very thin and no I don't agree that it's a 40* bag. Laying in my room with the AC set to 66* I generated plenty of warmth and it could easily work for colder temps than that, but this bag is for summer backpacking, anything under 60* or so and I'll be needing socks and a beanie I'm sure. But since I already have liners for sleeping bags, I got this to be the base in a modular system, adding a fleece or silk liner to be able to use this bag until the weather is cold enough to merit the use of my 20* bag. Bottom line; if you want a very compact bag for indoor sleepovers or if you want a summer-weight backpacking bag, this will work great. If you add a sleeping bag liner, you'll extend the range of this bag down into the 50's, and if you dress warmly and have a good tent and a liner bag I can see this working down into the 40's. Just don't expect miracles from a $25 sleeping bag ;)
