Tutorial

Like all ultralight sleeping bags, the REDCAMP Ultra Lightweight Sleeping Bag does not offer much padding or cushioning, and almost all campers will find that they need a sleeping mat or hammock beneath them, in order to provide extra softness and allow them to sleep comfortably outdoors. A sleeping mat also helps to protect the sleeping bag from rips and tears, and to keep it cleaner for longer.

Alternatives

Adults who want an ultra-lightweight and compact sleeping bag, but who need a little more width may want to consider the Pumpkino Ultra Lightweight Sleeping Bag.  Like the REDCAP, it is a warm weather sleeping bag that packs down small, but has a few additional features.

Both sleeping bags are for warm weather, with the Pumpkino rated for temperatures between 59℉-80℉, and both can be easily zipped to a second bag for shared sleeping. The Pumpkino Ultra Lightweight Sleeping Bag is a few inches wider than the REDCAP, measuring 75 x 33 inches instead of 76 x 30. It is made of water-resistant, ripstop polyester, and comes with a compact stuff sack. When packed down, the Pumpkino compresses to 6 x 9 inches, and weighs 1.7 pounds.

In addition to being a bit wider than the REDCAP, the Pumpkino has internal quilting that keeps the lining and fill in place, preventing bunching and keeping the cushioning and warmth more evenly distributed. This also makes the sleeping bag machine washable, which can be a big advantage. The compression sack buttons to the sleeping bag itself, which helps prevent it being lost, and also allows the compression sack to double as an overnight storage pocket for your phone, eyeglasses, or other small items.

The Pumpkino ultralight sleeping bag is a bit heavier and  a bit bulkier than the REDCAP, but it’s a great alternative for people who need more width in a sleeping bag, or who want the convenience of machine washing.

Conclusion

The REDCAMP Ultra Lightweight Sleeping Bag is super compact and lightweight, making it easy to toss into your pack and take nearly anywhere. It can be used as a warm weather sleeping bag, or unzipped to act as a lightweight quilt or blanket, which makes it great to have on any outdoor adventure, from a hike or backpacking, to a simple picnic or beach trip. It is water resistant, breathable, comfortable, and small enough to go anywhere you want to go.
