ATEPA Down Sleeping Bag, Recycled 650FP 4 Season Summer & Winter Compact Rectangle Lightweight Waterproof Wearable Sleeping Bag with Compression Sack for Camping Backpacking Hiking

Nice!
This ATEPA sleeping bag has gone with me from warm summer nights to frosty mornings, and it’s held up beautifully—lightweight, warm, and thoughtfully designed. But what really stood out was how ATEPA handled my questions: no bots, no runaround—just real people who genuinely wanted to make sure I was happy with my purchase. That kind of care is rare, and it made all the difference!

Looks great and lightweight, but temp ratings off!
Very nice looking, roomy, lightweight and compatible. Affordable too.BUT, the temp ratings are a shocking 15 degrees off. Backpacked in the Ozarks for 3 night. First night was 60 for a low and the bag was perfect. The 2nd and 3rd nights were in the low-mid 40s and I was very cold all night, even with 2 layers of shirts and a 3-season air pad. The comfort rating should say 50, not 34. The low 40s felt like a transition rating, which was supposed to be 24.I’ll still keep the bag because it’s nice, but reset expectations for 15 degrees off the ratings.

Awful Sleeping Bag
Bought this since I was curious about it and it was on sale for $65. I thought, “kind of like a Zen Bivy, but on a budget. Seems cool!” But, oh was I wrong.Let’s start with what was good about this bag.- The compression sack it comes with seems nice and well made.- The concept of the double zipper on both sides that can come all the way off to be a camp blanket is awesome.- Size is fine for me at 6 foot, 175 pounds. Broad shoulders and the bag didn’t seem too tight.- Another review mentioned it wasn’t a baffled bag and was sewn theough. It is baffled! ( But this doesn’t really matter, and we’ll get to that in a minute. )- The yellow and grey color way is nice. And I like the logo details being silver to blend in with the grey.But, that’s where the good parts end… Here’s the bad.- The bag material is super thin and feels cheap. I’ve had other bags at this price point that feel a lot better. ( Synthetic bags, but still. )- They have it listed as a 25 degree limit on the compression sack. That’s laughable. There isn’t enough down in the bag to keep you warm at all. ( See attached picture of the bag held up to the sunlight. ) I laid in this bag on an insulated sleeping pad for 10 minutes in my 72 degree home and wasn’t even warm… In contrast, in my other 20 degree bag I would have been sweating after only a couple minutes. So, while the bag is baffled, it doesn’t matter since the thin nylon is just touching the other side anyway.- The zippers are awful. They get snagged on the thin bag material every time you try to use them.- The cinch cord around the top of the bag just straight up doesn’t work. It’s designed badly. The ends are sewn into the cinch tube about 3-4 inches from either side, so your max cinch is only 6-8 inches. Was not enough to keep the top cinched tightly around me. Same issue for the cinch around the hood.- Speaking of the hood, it’s really shallow. No way it would keep your head warm, even if it had enough down in it.- The pad holder is a good idea, but they just used pull straps instead of buckles so you get a ton of extra straps just dangling, and putting the pad in is harder than it should be.My recommendations to the brand to make this bag useable.- Actually fill your baffles with down. There’s no way this bag will ever be warm if it’s just not filled at all…- Fix your cinch design. All you need to do is sew it into the bag further towards the middle.- Use better zippers.That’s it. That’s all. Just 3 changes and this could be a great bag. The rest of it is just me nit-picking.Maybe I got a lemon that somehow got through QA with less down than it should have, but after reviewing other reviews images, those bags look pretty light on the down as well.

Backpack sleeping bag
Packs small & light. The way it can be secured to a sleeping pad, like a fitted sheet, is a good idea in theory, but is awkward and time consuming to secure to sleeping pad. Maybe start before inflating pad. Bag is very slippery and did not keep me as warm as hoped.

The bag has a nice feel, the design is great. However, for the price, the biggest fault is the fact that the down in each compartment slides around so you can be left with patches of the bag that are simply 2 pieces of the inner and outer nylon. Luckily, the night it was used was a warm night, but I worry how warm it will keep me on a cold night.
