Sierra Designs Womens Get Down 20 Down Sleeping Bag

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Women’s Get Down is a great all offering from Sierra Designs in a simple, traditional mummy bag design. In order to provide excellent value for money the bag uses 550 fill power down and 20D fabrics to provide a -11.6°C Comfort Limit.

Sierra Designs says

A perfect combination of warmth, packability, and weight for camping novices and pros alike. The 20D polyester shell and 550 fill power DriDown™ allows you to shrug off the cold while remaining lightweight. Anti-snag zipper tracks, making getting in and out of your bag quick and painless. When the temps drop, the drawstring hood seals in heat so you can stay nice and toasty all night long.

Our Verdict

Sierra Design’s Womens Get Down 20 Down Sleeping Bag is a classic mummy sleeping bag with durable fabrics and 709g of 550 Fill Power DriDown which gives it the -11.6°C Comfort Limit. The bag features a close fitting hood, full length 2-way zip for easy access, draught collar and cinchable hood, so everything you could want in a very good value package. At this price the sacrifice is the overall weight, which for this temperature rating isn’t bad but compared to the ultralight sleeping bags it is undeniably heavier.

The combination of 20D fabrics gives this bag a nice feel and adds some serious durability which again, compared to the ultralight bags is a huge positive. This three season plus bag gives you an excellent balance of cost, temperature rating, a full feature set and a decent weight making it highly competitive no matter how you look at it.
