TETON TrailHead Ultralight Lightweight Backpacking Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "I'm 5'9' and didn't feel like my feet were cramped at all and could easily zip the top closed."
• "Woke up to 25 degrees and stayed comfortable in this sleeping bag."
• "Spent a rainy weekend with lows in the 30s F and this was the best part of my weekend."
• "I have plenty of room to zip up and around me so that the bag isn't cold."
• "Really soft bag.... lots of room for 2, nice having zippers on both sides."
• "Soft, warm and roomy."
• "The inside of the sleeping bag was comfortable and roomy enough that I could actually move my legs freely."

Cons:

• "The low temperature was 30F and we were so cold all night."
• "I was freezing all night."
• "I was very cold at 43 degrees, the zipper snagged every time I tried to zip up."
• "Do not expect to stay warm in temperatures below 40 degrees."
• "It’s snug, really snug. I had trouble spinning around no matter what I did."
• "Being a mummy bag I expected the bag to be pretty snug, but it is super tight around my shoulders and upper body making any sort of movement tedious."
• "It's got the length, but my shoulders are too big. Cannot zip up past my torso."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Great quality for the price."
• "The material seems to be high quality."
• "The interior lining has a nice soft texture - not like the slippery plastic feel of my old bags."
• "Sleeping bag is extremely warm and nice quality."
• "The compression stuff sack is reasonably good quality."
• "The stitching and overall construction of the bag is solid."
• "Seems well constructed and lightweight."

Cons:

• "Much to my disappointment the zipper has already broken and the sleeping bag it now essentially useless."
• "Other sewed parts also didn't look very 'handled with care' and some treads hanging here and there."
• "Minus one star because the fabric feels flimsy on the outside and not sure it will last long."
• "The lousy nylon zipper has been repeatedly jamming on the thin material that is too close to the zipper and yesterday it broke."
• "Zipper snags a bit, there are lots of cold spots."
• "The zipper was sewn unevenly, and the overall quality of the pack seems cheap and defective."
• "I don't like inner material it feel cheap and it full of pile."

Size and Portability

Pros:

• "This bag is light weight, easy to roll up, fits in its stuff sack."
• "It compacts SMALL, like the size of a coffee mix tub small."
• "The compression stuff sack can really get it down to a reasonable pack size."
• "It packs down small and is easy to attach to my gear."
• "First, the bags are fairly light at just 2lb 9 oz."
• "It's not too difficult to roll up and get back into the compression sack."
• "It packs relatively small."

Cons:

• "I have the sleeping bag as compact as possible and can't fit it in either my 55L bag or my 70L bag."
• "Pretty heavy too, but that's to be expected with a synthetic 5*."
• "BUT PUTTIG IT BACK WAS A HUGE WORKOUT."
• "It is a little heavy in my opinion, but that's to be expected from such a low-temperature bag."
• "Smaller than what you would think was a double doesn't keep you warm in 20 degree weather unless you're bundled up and ripped within a few days of using it."
• "It is not nearly as compact-able or light."
• "Just wish it didn’t pack down so bulky and heavy."

Temperature Rating and Warmth

Pros:

Cons:

• "This bag says it is rated for 20 degrees, last night was 20 degrees. I nearly froze."
• "Many nights were in the low 40's and I was cold in this bag."
• "I don't think it's suitable for winter camping at all."
• "The real deal breaker is warmth."
• "I would guess can't go below 50 degrees in the mountains."
• "The comfort temp of this bag is probably somewhere around 50-55F."
