Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Kifaru Slick bag

Im looking at the Kifaru slick bag for lightening my load for archery hunting.
Im wondering about the 40 degree bag. At 22 oz. it seems pretty sweet, but I don't have any first hand info on it.
Any one use one?

Hopefully Docb will chime in. I know he used a Kifaru Slick bag in Alaska this fall. Would love to hear from other that have used the bags as well, the 0 degree bag is definitely on my short list!

I have the 0 degree slick bag. Well made and very nice. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to use it in anything cooler than about 30 degrees. Don't know if it helps much, but I was plenty warm.

I did use the slick bag in Alaska this October. We got some cold weather, probably down into the teens one night. I stayed plenty warm in the zero degree bag, and it's compressibility compared to say a Wiggies bag is amazing. It seems that it's the best of both worlds....a syn bag as light and compressible as down. The only thing, I just like the loft of down. I can't put my finger on it, but my WM Grizzly is just plain comfy.....like a feather bed!

Ditto here! While not a comment on the Kifaru bag, as I've not even seen one, but I way prefer the feel of my BA down bag over my Cat's Meow syn bag.

Really trying to get convinced to try one of these....

I have a MH Phanton 32 right now and I'm looking hard to try and find something that will keep me warm for sheep hunts in Aug/Sep when temps can get down around -5 or -10 Celcius at night in the hills.

I have a Hilleberg Akto although I worry about buying a nice WM down bag and whether or not it would get 'damp' from a week of sheep hunting. Wondering if synthetic is the better option or if the WM bags will handle the bit of moisture in a tent.....

Any suggestions or comments? The Slick bag looks pretty cool for sure....

Forgot to mention....size and weight are my two biggest concerns other than stayin warm at night (I sleep cold) and stayin dry....
