I’m shopping for a 10-15 degree hoodless zippered sleeping bag with a sewn footbox. I’m looking at the Nunatak 3D Quilt, the Timmermade Oriole, and the Enlightened Equipment Conundrum. So far these are the only models I have found that meet my specs, are there any other options I should be considering?

If you get the Zpacks, order the zipper baffle with it. It doesn’t work for me to try and keep the zipper beneath me all night long.

Thank you for this comment, I wasn’t sure if Zpacks provided the zipper baffle. How do you like the neck cinch closure? Some reviewers expressed frustration with it.

The zipper baffle is like $20 more, well worth it to me. The neck closure is ok; not as good as a baffle there, but good enough and it’s lighter weight. Probably works well with the optional hood. I bought the 20F bag, and tried it out in the backyard at 40F. It was way hot, even in quilt mode. Had to exchange it for the 30F bag. I’ve used the 30F bag down to about 30 with sleep socks, long johns and my down sweater and a hat. It works well.

I really like the ZPacks XXWide size. I can move around in it without the bag moving with me. Granted this is not warmth efficient, but it is sleep and comfort efficient. I can keep the down sweater in the bag with me, then put on a warm sweater if the temperature drops during the night.
