What are the best backpacking sleeping bags under $200 for women?

Pros

Pro
Well-made zipper

The zipper is sewn in a way that it’s hard to snag the sleeping bag in it. This means that you will not have to freeze while you are trying to unzip a jammed zipper in the middle of the night.

Pro
Lightweight

Weighing just under 3 pounds it should be easy to carry it around for longer camping trips without feeling the weight of the bag.

Pro
Water resistant coating

The cover and the filling is water resistant so you will not wake up wet and cold in misty mornings.

Pro
Great warmth-to-weight ratio

Thanks to the 600 fill power DriDown used in the bag it is light while still performing well in low temperatures. You can use this sleeping bag in cold autumn and spring nights as you will still feel comfortable in temperatures as low as 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cons

Con
No pockets for small items

There are no dedicated storage places inside the bag for small stuff like phones and wallets.

Con
Can develop cold spots

You need to fluff up the bag before using and once in a while when storing to even out the filling or it will settle down and be scattered unevenly across the bag.

Con
Smells odd

Some people will not like the smell of the bag when using it for the first couple of times as the down filling has a slight bird smell. It should go away after some time though.

Con
Doesn’t come with a compression sack

There’s no compression bag included, only a stuffing sack. This means it will take up quite a space when packed. You can reduce the space by about 30% by buying a separate compression bag.
