Best 0 Degree Sleeping Bag For Winter Backpacking – GWC Mag

Mountain Hardwear Bishop Pass 0

Look, winter gear is expensive enough already, which is what makes the Mountain Hardwear Bishop Pass such a tempting choice for your 0 degree sleeping bag. At $325, it’s nearly half as expensive as the average model on this list! And while yes, it’s heavier, bulkier, and slightly less warm than average, for the most part, it keeps pace with the rest of the group. Arguably a bigger issue than its middling stats though, is its narrowness at the hips. While it’s shoulder girth is average, this tapers down to become the narrowest bag on our list, making it incompatible for some body types. Double check your measurements before purchasing, but if it fits you, what a killer value!
