Findings: Sierra Designs has really done a great job with this youth bag. The features are practical, functional and don’t add unnecessary weight. I was worried that a 40 degree bag wouldn’t keep my daughter warm enough, but she was totally fine even on a cold, wet, windy night. This bag also comes in a 20 degree version as well as boy colors. At under 2 lbs, it is the lightest youth sleeping bag on the market. It is actually light weight enough that my 6 year old can carry it herself backpacking. It is a standard length for a youth bag and should fit her for at least another 6 years. I highly recommend this bag for kids! See the slide show for more pics.
