Nemo Equipment Men's Forte Men 35 Sleeping Bag

Product Information

We think the Forte is a good value for a comfortable, highly featured bag that you can take on short backpacks, and is a great choice for car camping or trips where you won't have to carry it very far. There is a small accessory pocket on the left chest that opens with an invisible zipper (like the kind often used on dresses) with a tiny metal zipper pull. The bag’s Classic Spoon™ shape continues to be a game changer for side sleepers, offering more room at the knees and shoulders for a less-constricted feel. Once you get inside your sleeping bag, you instantly compress all the filling beneath you, greatly reducing its efficiency.

For side-sleepers desiring warmth with practical comfort, the Forte Men's 20° Endless Promise sleeping bag really delivers - a unique design to see you through cooler weather camping and backpacking trips, and alpine treks. While it's not the heaviest synthetic bag we tested, the Trailmade is heavier than all the down bags in our test. The women’s version of the Forte bag has a comfort rating of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and the men’s is rated at 32 degrees, so as long as the temperature is above that lower limit, you should sleep comfortably through the night.

But it’s not a panacea because it’s not paired with a stiffener along the draft tube, something the bag should have anyway. It retains the comfortable and spacious 'spoon' shape so it is still wider at the elbows and knees, meaning you can toss and turn as much as you want, without the bag restricting you. To evaluate today's top sleeping bags, we selected five performance areas that are sometimes at odds with one another: warmth, weight, comfort, packed size, and features. However, it can't compete with any of the down products in this review and isn't as compressible as some of the other synthetic models we have tested. Versions: Women’s regular | Women’s long | Men’s regular | Men’s long | Temperature Rating: 20 degrees Fahrenheit | Insulation: Synthetic | Shape: Spoon | Length: Varies by size | Dimensions: Varies by size | Minimum Weight: 2.

At the same time, its full-length zipper and horizontal baffle construction provide ample options to shed heat and cool off on warmer nights.We should note that the Hummingbird UL achieves its low weight and high warmth by utilizing narrow dimensions. The Forte 35° also features a waterproof and breathable footbox that protects from tent condensation, keeping your feet warm, dry and fresh. The new 2-season Forte has been updated for 2022, filled with Primaloft’s, lightweight, ultra-lofty and supremely resilient RISE insulation which is made of 80% post-consumer recycled content. Bear in mind that we are all individuals, so we all feel the cold differently and that our own resistance will fluctuate depending on a whole load of factors, including how much we have eaten, whether we have consumed alcohol, whether we need a wee or what kind of mood we are in!
