A lightweight and compressible sleeping bag for backpacking
The ALPS Mountaineering Blue Springs is an excellent choice for backpackers looking for an affordable, lightweight, and compressible sleeping bag. This three-season bag is filled with synthetic insulation, providing warmth and comfort even in damp conditions. The mummy shape and adjustable hood help retain heat, while the two-way zipper allows for easy ventilation on warmer nights. Weighing in at just 2.9 pounds, the Blue Springs is easy to carry on long hikes and packs down small in its included compression sack.
The main downside of the ALPS Mountaineering Blue Springs is its limited temperature rating of 35°F, which may not be warm enough for colder weather camping. However, for most backpackers seeking a budget-friendly option for three-season use, this sleeping bag offers a great balance of comfort, weight, and packability.
