Sleeping Bag Review: EMS Mt. Light 20

This bargain bag could turn car campers into ultralight zealots.

by: The Backpacker Editors

The bag is made with high-quality materials (725-fill-power down and a weather-resistant Pertex Microlight shell) and comes with a compression sack that scrunches down to breadloaf proportions. The draft tube and hood seal in heat, which kept warm-sleeping Jim toasty in the 20s. The narrow, efficient cut (60-inch girth) should work for all but the biggest or most restless sleepers.

Price: $199

Sizes: 83"/90" and 78"/83" (women's);

Weight: 2 lbs. 2 oz. (reg)

Contact: (888) 463-6367; www.ems.com.
