Alps Mountaineering Vibe Mummy Bag

ALPS Mountaineering has a whole new vibe for 2025, a series of backpacking sleeping bags dubbed the Vibe. Developed for maximum heat retention and minimal weight, the new Vibe series bags come in three temperature ratings designed to fit the needs of dedicated backpackers and “go-light” campers. With the Vibe 0° for winter and higher-altitude camping, the Vibe +20° for comfortable spring and fall camping, and the Vibe +40° for ideal performance in warmer climates, ALPS has you covered from tip of nose to tip of toes.

To achieve that delicate balance of lightweight and premium thermal efficiency, the ALPS Mountaineering designers chose synthetic TechLoft Micro insulation, consisting of multiple denier staple-length fibers with a siliconized finish for maximum insulation, loft and compactness. Combined with two-layer offset quilt construction to eliminate cold spots and insulated chest and zipper baffles to prevent drafts, the Vibe mummy bags ensure a warm and comfortable night’s sleep wherever your journeys take you.

The Vibe bags are also built to withstand the challenges of wilderness adventure, courtesy of their rugged polyester ripstop outer shell and soft polyester liner. A tough #8 zipper delivers smooth operation and durability. In addition to the three available temperature ratings, each bag is offered in regular and long sizes for a comfortable fit for all body types, and each comes with a compression stuff sack. $79.99 - $119.99, AlpsMountaineering.com
