A big 40% off this Khumbu synthetic-fill sleeping bag makes for a summer camping bargain from Backcountry Outlet. The Thermolite Extra insulation isn’t the lightest or most-compressible synthetic fill on the market. It’s still survivable though, as the bag’s weight of 3lbs. 6oz. is only about a half-pound heavier than similar long bags and the money saved can go toward a good sleeping pad or a camping chair for non-backpackers. Nonetheless, the shingled construction is higher-end and will prevent cold spots well, plus the bag is still much smaller and lighter than many of the ~$40 bags from Target or WalMart.
The $88 is an even bigger bargain since BackcountryOutlet.com also has free shipping and no sales tax outside of Utah.
