Kelty Cosmic 20 Down Sleeping Bag Review

This is my review of the Kelty Cosmic Down 20 sleeping bag. It is a 550-fill down sleeping bag that weighs only 2.5lbs for the regular (fitting up to 6'). You can buy it at www.campmor.com for only $80.

EDIT: The bag used in the video is a Granite Gear compression sack size large. Although a medium size would probably be a more proper size for the sleeping bag.

have you waterproofed you down bag yet?

im planning on lightly spraying mine with something just so it doesnt absorb water like a sponge.

these dont have any waterproofing from the factory, let me know if you do this

[brandond2005]

@lipuid53 I haven't waterproofed it. I suppose you could try it though, but I have never heard of anyone doing it. I'm not sure how the chemicals in the waterproofing spray would react with the sleeping bag materials. If you plan on doing it I would suggest you call Kelty or the manufacturer of your bag to see if it's safe. The last thing you'd want is to spray it on and your bag starts melting. This bag has no waterproofing, sleeping bags that do are often quite expensive. Hope that helps.

What size compression sack did u use?

[brandond2005]

@TrinDawg37 I used a large Granite Gear compression sack in the video, but a medium sized bag would probably be a more proper size for the bag.

what is the brand/model of your sleeping pad !?!?!?!

[brandond2005]

@dtmty My sleeping pad? I have a Therm-a-rest NeoAir All-Season regular (I'm 5'11") and a Therma-a-Rest Z-Lite (Regular). I mostly use the NeoAir. I like it a lot so far. The horizontal baffles are extremely more comfortable compared to vertical baffles found in the Exped and Big Agnes pads, to me anyway. It's made out of a thicker material than the NeoAir original and it has a higher R-value which caused my interest. I hear they are releasing a new lighter one soon with similar specs. FML. lol

@lipuid53 I believe it's acceptable to spray a down sleeping bag with water repellent spray. I was watching a McNett video on cleaning a sleeping bag, and at 2:40 in the video, they spray it with treatment: youtube(.)com/watch?v=NJrnISxQ­Cus

For the money you can't beat this bag, decent quality, I'm happy
