I'm really interested in the Nemo Disco "spoon" shape thing.
Are nemo products any good? their marketing sure is up the ass, but that kind of gives me some doubts about their actual products.
To me seems like chink shit marketed for hipsters, since their every product has it's own video on youtube. Also very expensive.
Has anyone had any experience with a spoon shaped bag?
I sleep on my side and often wake up with my legs feeling cramped inside of the bag.

It's heavy and you'll be cold due to all the extra space. If you are just doing shit 30-40 degree climates you'll be fine though

I can suggest a sleeping bag if you're looking to go ultra light weight and in particular if you sleep on your stomach and worry about all these mummy bag designs.
I camped somewhere between 90-100 days last April-August 2019, across the United States in a bunch of National Forests. Used Enlightened Equipment's Revelation sleeping quilt and was very happy with it. Did way too much research to decide that it would be the right one, and spent a good amount money because it weighs only one pound. If feels like no weight in your bag and takes up no space. I was worried because I have a lot of sleep issues and I absolutely always have to sleep on my stomach. There are a couple of latches/straps on the bottom instead of a zipper, and one small zipper to use as a bag for your feet. If you're a stomach sleep quilt that can be a sleeping bag or a blanket is a good choice. Only downsize is it's a bit short as a quilt, but I was surprised by how fast that stopped annoying me

I have the Forte which is basically the Disco but with synthetic fill.

Nemo has always treated me well so their quality is good enough. As for the spoon shaped bag, I'm a massive fat ass and I'm still able to rotate around inside of it.

Seriously, if I could sleep in one on my side, and you weigh anywhere close to a "normal" weight the Nemo spoon bags will allow you to easily work for side sleeping.

>>1850847
>It's heavy

???

It's 1 lb 15 oz for the 30°F and 2 lbs 11 oz for the 15°F if you go with down or 2 lbs 2 oz for the 35°F and 2 lbs 14 oz for the 20°F if you go with the synthetic.

I like the quilt idea for a summer or alpine emergency option. Damn expensive here though, can’t justify it when I’ve already got a couple of nice bags.

I’ve got a MacPac Sanctuary 800(grams of 800+ loft down). Also got one of their mid range bags because I didn’t realise how much warmer the 800 loft would be over my old 650 and I cook in it unless I’m sleeping outside on the snow. Even in a snow cave I won’t typically zip right up until maybe the early hours.
That’s NZ winter though, it doesn’t really get ((cold)) cold.

I’d say great for camping, not so much for winter trips.

Yeah, it's essentially a point where the inner liner is exposed to the outside and there is no fill above it to trap body heat. Looks gimmicky but works, to a point.

I took my Forte out a month ago and hit 35-ish overnight. I couldn't sleep with them zipped up but was comfortable with them down. One morning the temperature dipped before sunrise and I had to stick my hand out to zip them up.

I probably lost more trapped heat doing that instead of toughing it out for an hour.

thier compression sacks work wonders, the defence 4 is on the larger size, but it enables me a smug sense of superiority when winter camping as my UL friends freeze

the net on the Tropen is a meme tho, i guess its better then nothing, but barely

I have one of these as well, new to me this year. I'm a fairly casual backpacker and have only used it on 4 trips so far, so take that into consideration. Bought the 10F version and have only used it in weather down to ~30F. Still EXTREMELY warm and comfy as fug. I toss around a lot in my sleep and with the straps anon mentioned the thing stays exactly put where you want it. They offer length/width customization as well, and I ordered up 1 size in each direction from what would be "recommended" and its absolutely glorious. Acts almost like a blanket with that extra material to make nights even more comfy. I've only used it inn tents thus far, but am gonna try it out hammock-sleeping this weekend. Should be a good time.

10/10 would buy again, even for their crazy prices.

Montbell super spiral hugger 10/10 comfy bag. Bought mine over a decade ago, the 40 degree version. Most comfortable bag I've ever used. Would love to get one for colder weather if I had the money, but I have a Mountain Hardware 5 deg bag already which is warm enough, it just doesn't have that nice flexible stretchiness that hugs your body and moves with you.

I got a Snugpak Osprey about 2 years ago that has been great, main reason for this choice was an extra long option as I'm 6' 4", there's a matching bivvy bag as well.

If you're tall this option is worth looking at.

What do you use as a sleeping pad?

I'm using a thermarest neoair xtreme and it makes a lot of sounds and doesn't feel too nice to the touch on my face. I'm wondering it it would be amplified if I used a quilt.
I'm looking for a light sleeping bag, atound 35F ~ 5C

Whatever you need to be comfortable without one, they add virtual zero warmth.

This 100% depends on the weather you'll be sleeping in. A bivy will add a few degrees to the bag, so you could get away with just a sheet bag on a warm summer night. But in most other situations you'll want a sleeping bag.

I use a Zenbivy bag and so far its been good to me, the main downside is that it doesnt have a back so your warmth is going to come from your sleeping mats R value. Easy enough to fix just get a higher rated pad than you already like.
pros: lightweight, packs smol asf for the warmth, modular so u can use as a quilt if wanted or as a mummy
cons: no back, footbox will have a really tiny hole even when fully laced not a big issue but an existent one
