Rated to 30 degrees and weighing just 1.42 pounds, Montbell’s Down Hugger 800 #3 sleeping bag offers packability, incredible warmth and light weight to any backpacker's bag. Sewn with a multi-tube construction and a patented Super Spiral Stretch System, the Down Hugger features just one seam – an auto locking zipper with an insulated flap to keep out cold air. Powered by large down balls that hold more air gives the bag exceptional warmth retention.

INITIAL REPORT

When I received the box from Montbell containing the Hugger Sleeping Bag, I was sure there was nothing in the box. It was that light! It was also rather small. Amazing how such a small lightweight package could contain such a super product! The Hugger is very, very soft and "loft-y" It's hard to believe there is "only" 10 oz. (283 g) filling. It looks way thicker.

INITIAL REPORT

My initial impression was the light weight and small size of the shipping box when it arrived on my porch. When I pulled the bag from the box, the sleeping bag was so light that I felt the weight of something heavy inside which turned out to be a desiccant bag. Next I noticed the beautiful color and then the cool anti-snag zipper.

INITIAL REPORT

I was immediately impressed with how lightweight and compressible the sleeping bag was, and I really liked the color. The down insulation seemed to have plenty of loft and the shell fabric felt soft and thin but still durable. The Down Hugger arrived in excellent condition with no loose threads, snags, or torn seams. It appears to be well designed, well manufactured, and of excellent quality.
