Teton Sports Trailhead Sleeping Bag 20 F

Last Modified: 12/04/2023

This Teton Sports Trailhead Sleeping Bag is a very compact mummy-style and with its synthetic insulation warm enough for 2-season camping. The price is hard to match.

Key features & benefits

  • Mummy style.
  • Lightweight.
  • Very compact.
  • Synthetic insulation.
  • 20 F temperature rating.
  • Durable fabric.
  • 2 Sizes.
  • Great price.

What this is about

They describe this Teton Sports Trailhead Sleeping Bag as a bag with a roomy footbox, so this is true, it is wide, but the reality is that you have a tapered profile typical for a mummy-style sleeping bag. Its width reduces from 32 inches (81 cm) at shoulders to 22 inches (56 cm) at the feet.

You have a synthetic insulation here, and in view of this, the bag could be described as lightweight with its 2.9 lb (1.32 kg). But it is far from ultralight as the manufacturer describes it, and if you want something of that kind, and with a synthetic fill, check this Big Agnes V Notch UL 40 Degree Sleeping Bag.

But when you see its remarkable temperature rating, which is 20 F (-6.6 C), then you may even more appreciate its weight. So back to its insulation, this is what they call PolarLite Micro insulation. Such synthetic materials perform well in damp conditions, and they dry much faster than a down when/if they get wet. However, I have seen quite a number of people complaining about the official temperature rating.

The shell is a 75D Diamond ripstop, water-resistant and sturdy, and the inner liner is a Double-Brushed P5 Poly Hi-Count soft and pleasant. So again you realize that this is a strong and durable material, and you might even more appreciate its weight. It is therefore not surprising that this bag has collected thousands of reports by users.

The bag comes with a narrow hood equipped with a cinch cord and a Velcro on the side so you can close it to prevent cold drafts and to preserve the warmth.

Other features

  • Compression sack included.
  • Hang loops for long-term storage.
  • Anti-snag zippers are easy to close from inside or outside.
  • Full-length zipper draft tube.
  • An inner pocket for small items, see the picture.
  • Lifetime Warranty.

Who is it for

Regarding the size, they build it in two different sizes, regular (R) and short (S), you will see the numbers below. This is always good to have to avoid unnecessary weight and bulk. The picture below shows that the difference is substantial.

Regarding the weight, you have already seen this above, the weight is such that the bag is backpack portable. But if you really want something ultralight, better check our list of best down backpacking sleeping bags.

Regarding the packed size, this is the best feature of this sleeping bag. The R size measures only 14.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches (37 x 17 x 17 cm). So you can carry it in the pack or transport on a bicycle and motorbike.

Regarding seasons, officially this is a 3-season bag, but too many users have complained to feel cold in this bag and it would be wrong to ignore such complaints. It is best to test it in controlled conditions, or simply plan to use it as a 2-season sleeping bag.

Regarding the price, this brand is known for great prices of their quality products. So the same is here, this is a true bargain.

Final thoughts, rating, pros & cons

In summary, this Teton Sports Trailhead Sleeping Bag is lightweight enough to be carried in the pack, and its packed size is really great. It is best to use it as a sleeping bag for the warmer part of the year, this means summer, late spring, and early autumn. Its synthetic insulation makes it a good choice for wet conditions and for places with lots of moisture.

Please see how I rate this bag against my standard set of criteria, as you realize it scores well:
