Mountain Hardwear Lamina Sleeping Bags- You have to be dry and warm!

If you are like me, and you are camping a lot, you want a quality sleeping bag but do not want to spend a ton on price. Is there a way to split the two down the middle without compromising? Yes. I found a synthetic laminate bag that is excellent. The bag is made by Mountain Hardwear out of Richmond California.

Mountain Hardwear  Lamina™ -30  Sleeping Bag

According to the manufacturer, the Lamina™ -30 is designed to lock out cold temps: The "ThermicMicro insulation is, high loft, compressible like down." Now, I don't know what all that means, but what I can tell you is that it will keep you warm and snug. If the weather is not as cold, it has a full length zipper. The bag itself is made in an extra wide mummy cut, allowing plenty of free movement. If it's really cold out, there is enough room inside the bag to dress without getting out of your bag. Why spend the money on down bags, when this bag has more than proven itself? For my money, there isn't a better mummy bag out there, even if it gets wet. 

The bag comes in two lengths, 78" and 84" for the over 6' folks. The lining  is 40D Polyester Taffeta and the Shell is Nylon 40D Micro Ripstop. 

In it's stuff sack, it only weighs in a 5 lbs and is 10" long. That is my kind of sleeping bag. With all the other gear we have to carry, size does matter.

Have you ever experienced cold spots in your sleeping bag? Those are because of poor construction. The Mountain Hardwear  Lamina™ -30  Sleeping Bags eliminate that problem. They have offset quilting that is welded directly to the bag.  It also has a face gasket and tailored hood to not only block drafts from the outside, but to seal in warmth. The outside has a waterproof titanium dioxide membrane that helps it to stay tough in harsh conditions, as well as repeated washing's at home.

Two last things worth mentioning are that it has a storage bag at shoulder level and a foot box that lets your feet rest in a comfortable position. All in all, this is a great sleeping bag. It will keep you warm, dry and if anything did go wrong, you are fine because it also comes with a lifetime warranty. Go for it!
