Kelty Clear Creek +20 sleeping bag

Date Published: 5/16/06

The Kelty Clear Creek +20 is a low-cost sleeping bag with synthetic insulation, designed for moderate weather. It is relatively roomy but also heavy, and is best suited for car camping or short overnight hikes.

This bag is relatively long and features a wide mummy-style cut that emphasizes comfort. The deep royal blue shell is made of ripstop nylon, and the lining is a polyester/cotton blend material. The bag is constructed with offset quilted stitching and two fabric layers, plus a third layer over the chest for added warmth in the torso. The hood has differentiated drawcords; the full-length zipper has a draft tube to trap in warmth and anti-snag fabric against the zipper.

The bag provides pad loops that let you attach the bag to a sleeping pad, in order to prevent the bag from rolling off the pad. Accompanied by a nylon stuff sack, the Clear Creek +20 is fleece-lined so that you can turn it inside out, and stuff in clothes, to form a pillow. The bag is available in short, regular, and long sizes.

The Kelty Clear Creek +20 is designed for the budget conscious camper who needs warmth in moderate temperature conditions, and who for low cost does not mind the added weight.
