lightninglayne's Review of Western Mountaineering Sycamore MF 25 Sleeping Bag

First, I want to thank campsaver for getting the Sycamore medium length into my hands in less than two full days from the time I ordered it- impressive!
Also, since I have only had the sleeping bag for several days I have only slept in it once... so a more detailed review will follow as I get more time in the field with it.
But I would like to let others know that this is a very comfortably shaped sleeping bag and the materials are as soft and supple as they durable, which adds to this bags fit function and compressability.
I weigh 155 pounds and am 5'8" tall and have a medium build and have used mummy bags for my entire backpacking and climbing life spanning 40+ years.. lately as I rehashed my lightweight backpacking kit, I decided to add a level of sleeping comfort for my three or less season adventures. After wading through almost too many choices and several purchases which I returned, I found myself sorting through several Western Mountaineering bags I.e. The 25* bags and settled on the Syscamore.
Again, I chose it for its roominess- and now having tried it on, I really like the fit! I also really like its simple nature and generous amount of down fill and noted that all the chambers were dense with down. The zippers don't snag... the hood is very functional and it will double as a nice conforter/blanket.
Finally, the quality is obvious and worth the money and will last many years if given reasonable care and use! This sleeping bag will get used lots
Pros:
  • Comfortable fit/durable
Cons:
  • None for me
Best Used for:
  • Up to 3 season backpacking
Would Recommend: Yes
