Nemo Equipment Men's Forte Men 35 Sleeping Bag

Product Information

It retains the comfortable and spacious 'spoon' shape so it is still wider at the elbows and knees, meaning you can toss and turn as much as you want, without the bag restricting you. Designed using just a single material family, Forte is now officially a standout in sustainability as well as comfort and performance. It’s also lightweight and small enough to carry on short backpacking trips, so it can adapt to various outdoor adventures. The Forte is rated to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but we would not trust it to keep us warm in those temperatures. The highly successful Nemo Forte 20 Sleeping Bag has been updated for 2023 with new insulation and fabrics.

Depending on your plans and your budget, however, it may be worth checking the difference in packed size between a premium and budget backpacking sleeping bag you're considering. In addition to the bluesign® approved shell and recycled liner, Forte is filled with 100% post-consumer recycled Zerofiber™ PCR synthetic insulation.In the same way that the spoon shape of the Forte is a reaction to a confining mummy bag, the Blanket Fold is NEMO’s alternative to a tight neck draft tube and a different way to seal the gap around your neck and chin and prevent warm air from escaping the bag. We've tested other sleeping pad attachment systems that don't offer a similar degree of adjustability. Considering the right apparel like a rain jacket or hiking boots can also make a huge difference when it comes to your comfort and fun level. These are the ratings supplied by the brands that indicate the temperature at which you will remain comfortable whilst sleeping on an insulated sleep mat.

The NEMO Forte 35F is rated according to ISO/EN Standards which include a range of temperatures at which a sleeping bag is usable, from Comfort to Lower Limit. Thermo Gills are zippered pockets on the chest of the bag that reveal a less-insulated section of bag underneath, so they can dump heat and allow the bag to be used in warmer temps. Sleeping bags do not generate heat; they only trap the heat we produce, so it is vital that you get into your bag when you are giving off warmth, don’t go to bed when you are cold, have a hot meal or a hot drink or do some brisk exercise to get you nicely warmed up. While the above are excellent, for a relatively affordable synthetic bag with plenty of room and features for comfort, we like the Forte and Viola.

Mummy sleeping bags are not usually designed to accommodate this but that's where the Nemo Equipment Forte steps in!
