Snugpak Jungle Bag Lightweight Sleeping Bag with Left or Right Side Zip, Compact Travel and Camping Bag

The bag is incredibly small, and the addition of the mosquito netting makes it the best bag out there for it's intended use. The images are true to life...It does fit in your hand and compacts to as small of a bag as shown. The bag by itself works great when overnight temps are above freezing. Add a small ground pad for insulation and comfort, a bag liner, and a compact fleece sleeping bag (all available and well-priced on Amazon), and the combination of this group all used together makes it a lightweight, ideal solution for areas down to about 20 degrees. Layer up with the ground pad and all 3 types of bags for cold weather, and shed layers when it warms up. Note that the bag unzips completely, so it can be used as a blanket as well (another feature to look for when you shop for the fleece bag). For the prepper or the backpacker, this bag is the way to go, with the above-mentioned accessories. Search Amazon, and you can find it under $80. Add a compact fleece bag for $20 or less (to add 10-15 degrees of protection, or to use alone for nights that aren't bitter cold but have a chill), a silk or cotton liner or sewn-up sheet (for the very warm nights or to protect the bag from the ground) for under $20, and a folding or inflatable ground pad (for insulation, and for comfort - shop around for the smallest one that fits your needs) and you can get a DIY quality set-up that is versatile enough for most seasons, fits in a compression sack that rides well hanging under your pack, and is light-weight and customized for the way you want it. The less compact and heavier option is the mil-issue modular bag option, but owning both, I've had as good success with this option, adding my poncho to the mix, on the ground below or above me as needed to account for moisture issues (as the mil-issue system has a gore-tex liner, an advantage over this system if you have room for the extra bulk and weight). I'm an emergency manager, and with this combination, as well as keeping a good hammock (Hennessy or Clark are recommended, depending on your likes) and either a tarp or a quality, compact backpacker's tent all inside an extra 3-day pack, I've maintained an acceptable night's sleep in nearly all weather conditions during disaster situations. To round out what has been the "perfect" combination, add a Ventura Camp Systems Cabin Cot tent and an aluminum-frame traditional cot (when you have a way to transport a little heavier and larger loads) and you'll be able to handle most situations with ease. Best of luck, and God bless!

Man I love this bag. Tough outer ripstop material, comfy inner material, mesh inner pocket. Just overall very roomy and comfy to sleep in and it can fully unzip flat to be a 'blanket'. There's a separate zip for the foot area. The insect face mesh provides a 100% seal against any annoying insects that could otherwise disturb your sleep and it packs down small and is light for what it is compared to my surplus USGI summer bag. Only things that I don't like but aren't really a big deal are that the insect mesh folds into a small pocket at the top of the inside of the bag, it's good but sometimes it will partly come out during the night, Snugpak should modify this so it has a snap or something to keep it in the pocket. Other thing is I don't think the zip is YKK. Not that I've had any real problem with the zip so far but it's only been a week, it doesn't say YKK on it anyway. It just annoys me when manufacturers will skimp on a thing like a top quality zip, it must cost them hardly anything more but you really need the zip to be 100% reliable especially in the jungle etc. Not necessarily a big deal it's just a pet hate of mine. Overall this is great as is Snugpak gear in general.. Overall though these bags are excellent and I absolutely recommend! Love the Desert sand color as well..

I took off one star for the (unduly) high price ... Pros: Light-weight, compact , OD-green, built-in SKEETER NET !! Cons: Unduly high price premium ... really the only "con". Note: Available in Right or Left-handed zipper. I really do love everything except the price, on this bag. Since I live in Texas, where the winter temps (including wind-chill) very rarely (almost never) get down to zero-farenheit ... I decided to build my OWN (customized) version of the USGI (bivy based) ECWS sleep system (which is designed to go down to ~ -50F). In doing so, I can save on weight and money and (also) get INTEGRAL BUG PROTECTION !! So ... I went with a MILSPEC GoreTex Digital ACU outer Bivy bag .. (@ $110+ship)and this Jungle-bag, as the two, primary components ... ... Aditionally, I have purchased a compact ~20deg-F synthetic mummy-bag ($28 @ Amazon) ... an Adventure Medical Thermo-2 (aka SOL) vented thermo-bivy and a Magellan fleece liner (both items are very compact and feather-lite) ... just to increase layers and reflective insulation, during RARE cold-snaps or a really bad winter (happens once or twice each decade, here, in Central Texas). So ... I have not weighed the total Texas-ECWS system but it is clearly much lighter than the MilSpec system ... The cost ? ... hmmm ... $110(Bivy)+$28(cold-bag)+~$70+(Jungle-bag)~$28(Thermo-Bivy)+~$16 (fleece liner)+ ... equals ... (cha-ching!) ... under ~$275 (including shipping) ... ... Ok ... so maybe I dint save much (or any ... if "used" on eBay).. ... BUT ... I can nest all this up inside the Bivy and wrap the whole thing in my two ACU ponchos ($50 per pair) and it all makes for a very light and compact package which can shelter me in freezing rain and raging gales, in the worst cases ... OOPS ... I also got a Thermarest reflective foam pad, for ~$20 ... might even add a second (used) miiitary sleep pad, for another $10 .. I'm old and the one pad ain't quite thick enough. Anyway ... this Jungle-bag, in conjunction with the MilSpec Bivy, are the core of this system and these two components are the most expensive parts ... at $110 for (new ACU)bivy and $70 for the Jungle bag. PS ... SnugPak sells the very same compact bag, minus the mosquito-net, for something like $30 less !! ? ... So ... I paid a ~ $30 premium just for the integral bug-net ... Worth it for the convenience of integration but ... REALLY !!! THIRTY DOLLARS MORE !?? Love it ... (bottom line) ... They can charge this much because nobody else provides a comparable solution (except, I think, is it SlumberJack? that makes a bivy with a built-in net ... same idea ... sort of). Not really any cheaper and not as "tacti-cool" as what I finally got. Plus, on hotter nites, u can use the bag, alone ... with just a pad. ... The square bottom unzips all the way and can be used as a blanket and you can also sleep on top of it, to increase your pad-loft, if the bugs are not too bad. Lots of options and useful qualities and features ... good build.

First off, this bag is rugged!!!! Note, be very gentle and careful w the mosquito net, as you would any. But I used this bag to sleep in the Philippines jungles in a hammock on a mission trip for 3 weeks. Lots of bugs, but not on me, bag was great. I also use this regularly at our cabin in Washington where weather can get down to 30 degrees, and this bag is no problem, just add a Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme +25 degree sleeping bag liner! Just an old foam USArmy ground roll under. I also have used this bag on the Pacific Crest trail w a Reactor Extreme and a good Foam ground roll in 32 degree weather. This bag is great if you know how to do modular layering which we learned in the army w our modular bags. The bag packs down so tiny, you can add a tiny reactor liner and ground pad no problem. This bag becomes a four season bag. Also, unlike I have experienced in the past w my 15 degree expensive mummy bags, when you go modular, you aren’t stuck sweating in a 15 degree bag in 40 degree weather, and thus freezing because while asleep you climb out of the bag while too hot, then freeze because then it is cold!!! Instead you just subtract the reactor liner if too hot. Or add it if you know will be cool. The mosquito net is priceless as it allows you to just bring a good tarp or lightweight fly tarp instead of full tent. The ripstop fabric on this tent I have taken everywhere the last 3-4 years still looks like new. It is bulletproof tough. If you want a modular system this is the way to go. ***update, I am testing this bag in my backyard along the Delta, temp is 33 degrees, I have just the following: Snugpak Jungle Bag, Reactor Extreme Liner, wool socks, medium weight thermal top/bottom underwear. No gloves no hat. It is comfortable but this is the limit. I am 5’9” I find I have the mosquito net above my head about 5”. The I just breath not directly out so as not to suck in cold air. If I added gloves and pants and another top over my underwear I would easily be comfortable at 30 degrees But I do think 30 is the limit w extra clothethes. The ultimate setup would be this jungle bag w a Reactor Extreme and a bivy bag to just roll it all up and throw it down quickly. Especially a MSS bag. W a bivy into the 30’s no problem! Note the key to all is a heat liner like the Reactor Extreme or Snugpak fleece liner. I keep my liner in my bag, roll it all up together, goes in the tiny stuff sack, and just a great ultralight thru hike kit w a mosquito net! Can’t beat that!!!! ****UPDATE**** This bag now a 4 season bag for me as I have started using it like a US Army MSS layering system!! I used this 36 degree Jungle Bag as an outer layer with my 30 degree US Army MSS Patrol Bag (bought used on Amazon for $30) in the Sierra Nevada’s hiking near Yosemite in January. Temp’s got down to 5 degrees I was toasty warm! The US Army 30 deg patrol bag fits like a glove inside the jungle bag! I then had the MSS Bivy as my only shelter over that. I might have been fine even if it went down to zero degrees. I was only wearing t shirt, socks and boxers. The cool thing about this is that the jungle bag, seems big enough to be the outer bag for most medium to light sleeping bags, thus providing the mosquito netting as coverage for all!!!! The advantage to this layering system is you can avoid having to lug around one giant bulky 0 degree bag. Instead you can have both small rolled bags separate in your pack for streamlining or you can roll them together w a bivy like the MSS system and attach the big roll to outside of your pack. Very versatile! This jungle bag when used this way becomes an easy bug net for all your sleeping bags.

I used this on a recent trip through Death Valley. It was too hot to sleep in it because it was still 98F at 12am, but it was great to sleep on top of as a floor pad/blanket along with my camp mat. I did get inside though briefly, to test the fit. With clothes on, no shoes, I fit quite well. I am 225# and 6'2", with wide shoulders and hips. The netting could use a simple frame to prop it up off of the face, but that is just a minor thing. It is an excellent bag. Edit (11.20.24) : I have been living in and with this bag daily since day one (over three years). I have hand washed it a few times (3 times) and machine washed it once. It is the most durable, absolutley comfortable light weight bag. It hardly smells, airs out so easily, and even difficult stains come out... In my van, when its about 20f inside and outside, with a single thick quilted blanket over top and a thin wool blanket beneath, it keeps me so warm I have to put a foot out or a my head to regulate. Its AWESOME! To the fullest extent of that word. Do not skip on this one. BUY IT.

Took this on a trip to Africa and used it every night for a week. It's nice and lightweight which helped when packing and it wasn't hard to roll up and pack into the small bag it comes in. (About the size of your two fists) I was comfortable with just the bag down to the mid 30's Fahrenheit and the mosquito netting didn't bother me being zipped up over my face. I was a bit skeptical about that thinking it would make me feel a bit claustrophobic but it really didn't. The material for the netting is quite soft and didn't irritate. Has a mesh pocket on the inside so you can keep your glasses or a small flashlight inside the bag with you. I didn't run into many mosquito's on this trip so I can't say how well that angle of this bag works, but the netting does zip down inside of the bag and it looks like it will keep anything out. Size of the bag worked out well. I'm 6'3, 200lbs and had room to move inside the bag. If you are any taller you could run into problems with the length but I would guess that someone up to 6'8 could use this. Very good purchase! I was very grateful to have this on my trip. Very good quality of make too!

This is a fantastic lightweight sleeping bag that packs really well and provides reasonably good protection from the elements for a sleeping bag. This is an ideal bag for 3 season backpacking trips in moderately temperate weather, and is all you ever would need for sleeping indoors anytime of the year. I have yet to field test it over the course of months, but it seems like it will hold up provided it's used properly. This bag offers a great deal of versatility. The water and wind resistant outer layer plus the mosquito net make this thing almost like a bivy sack, in that it could be used standalone in an emergency. If the ambient temperature is too hot, it's rectangular shape allows it to be zipped out into a blanket you can lay on top of. Actually being inside the bag in above 75 degree weather would likely be a bit too warm if you run a bit hot as I do. But in this case any sort of sleeping bag wouldn't be ideal and you would be better off in a hammock or a simple bivy sack with no insulation. I still plan on taking this to tropical Colombia with me in a few weeks, the super nice pack size still makes it worth lugging and it will at least be useful for beach camping. The mosquito netting is a nice bonus feature. It isn't ideal as any netting that rests on your face would be. It could use a tie out so you can tie it up to a tree or a stick and have it suspended above your face. I may be able to rig such a system with some paracord threaded to the zippers just to give the net some upward tension. Without the tie out or a better way to apply tension to the net, I'm not going to detract a star form the bag as it is truly a nice bonus feature. Also my paracord through the zipper idea may work, where there's a will there's a way. Comfort wise I really like it as it feels soft on the inside yet not sticky. First night I got it I got in to see what it was like and ended up taking a little nap so it's definitely comfy. In indoor ambient temps I didn't sweat, although I also didn't use the netting aspect. Definitely plan on taking this on any trip where I may be couch surfing, as it can just as easily become a blanket too. All in all this is a fantastic top level item for anyone looking for a three season bag. It may be a bit too warm for the jungle, but if you were truly in a tropical climate you wouldn't be bringing a sleeping bag in lieu of a hammock or bivy. I can see this being great for nights in the desert, and would even use it for summer camping in the northeast.

For late spring and early summer camping, I imagine this would be relatively comfortable in terms of temperature. However, my issues with this bag are as follows: 1. The zipper is ludicrous. If Snugpak charged another $10 and replaced the zipper with one of those dummy proof military YKK zippers, this bag would improve immensely. The zipper is by far the biggest let down - it gets dragged on the bag about every two inches, which is absolutely maddening when you're trying to pack up in the morning. Unzipping to get in the bag - again, the zipper is finicky and sad. For the price, all good boy scouts think this Gucci gear is going to do what you want, and maybe it will. But it REALLY needs a better zipper. This was a cheap, stupid thing to skimp on. 2. Size matters. If you're a bigger guy, you'll fit...oh, you'll fit. Do not expect to move inside this glove and definitely expect to be struggling throughout the night. It's awful. And sure, you could just unzip it and use it like a quilt, but this boasts the mummy bug net, which is useless when the bag is open. 3. Weight + packability. Given its temp rating, this is pretty lightweight, which is great, but it's still 32.2oz, which definitely is not going to get you to an ultralight award. And that's fine. This is also relatively small in way of packability, given that it's a whole bag. The weight and packability of this are why I gave 3 stars and not 2. That said... I don't known if 45 is a realistic comfort rating, and it's still not a tiny bag. Overall, change the zipper. Snugpak, if you're looking at this CHANGE THE ZIPPER.

Blixtlås funkar bra. Möjlighet att öppna separat för fötter, vilket gör att man kan sitta i den och ändå resa sig med skor. Om man vill ha lite bättre skydd mot kyla, köp 2, eller köp en bivy.

De très bonne fabrication, léger, compacte. Testé en bivouac avec une température de 9° ce sac est très suffisant. Je recommande cet article.

Excelente para climas cálidos .

I bought 2 of these for travel both warm and cold. They've come in handy particular when the temperature has dropped and additional warmth was needed beyond what was provided from blankets e.g. small hotel in the mountains of Mexico. They're compact enough to pack in a bag without giving up too much space. There's a small hole at the bottom on one side where the zippers don't meet perfectly. If you're looking for protection against bugs and such, be sure to tie or clip this hole closed.

Prodotto veramente ottimo, resistente, comodo. Consiglio l'acquisto a chiunque debba dormire una notte in tenda a temperature non troppo basse
