Gear Guide 2009: Kelty Coromell Sleeping Bag Review
This summer bag had one tester wondering if it really was a summer bag– it was just that warm.
Bargain! You won’t find a better deal on a down-filled bag that’s as roomy and warm as this one. It’s on the heavy side for the category, but it’s also warmer than average–as you’ll want on some alpine trips. “I slept comfortably on freezing nights in Utah’s Wasatch Range, in temps that usually make me chilled in a 30°F bag,” wrote one female tester.
The Coromell lacks a hood, but warm sleepers could easily press it into moderate three-season use. Big boys and midnight Maytaggers appreciated the relaxed semi-rectangular cut (it zips open to form a blanket that’s wide enough for two sleepers), and the 650-fill down packs to a respectably small size, thanks to the included compression sack. $150; 2 lbs. 13 oz.; 25°F
