The Teton Sports Trailhead +20°F Ultralight Sleeping Bag is much superior to my old similarly priced sleeping bag for one huge reason: the Teton’s zipper never gets stuck. When camping, I usually turn in for the night dead-dog tired and cold. Even though Dad always warns me to zip slowly to not snag the fabric, I always jerk the zipper.
With the old sleeping bag, the zipper would get hopelessly stuck, and Dad would have to fix it while I sat cold and guilty for getting it stuck again. Over the past year I have slept in my new Teton bag on several camping, backpacking, and canoeing trips. The zipper always zooms up, and I begin to feel warm pretty quickly. The Teton’s quality zipper is what makes it stand above others in its price range.
Other advantages:
The inside of the bag is sort of a warm, silky material instead of a slippery, cold-feeling material
Packs down very small for backpacking
Only weighs 2.9lbs
There is a secret pocket inside the bag for stuff you don’t want your scout friends to find
On warmer nights, you can unzip it till the last few inches at the feet, and it’s the perfect blanket
