Field & Stream MT 20 Degree Mummy Bag Review
Field & Stream MT 20 Degree Mummy Bag
Summary:
Available only at Dick's Sporting Goods, this mummy-style bag measures 84"x32"x22" and contains three pounds of insulation that's supposedly suitable for temperatures as low as 20 degrees. Some campers disagree with the temperature rating, however, and find it difficult to zipper and store in the compression sack.

Available only at Dick's Sporting Goods, this mummy-style bag gets panned in Field & Stream MT 20 Degree sleeping bag reviews. Users' complaints center on the poor quality zipper and construction. Multiple campers posting on Dicksportinggoods.com report that the zipper snags easily and is prone to breaking. Field & Stream MT 20 Degree sleeping bag reviews also note that the outer shell seems fragile, and the bag is bulky and heavy when packed. Although several campers write in Field & Stream MT 20 Degree sleeping bag reviews that this cheap sleeping bag keeps them warm in freezing temperatures and the synthetic fill holds up well in wet conditions, others say it fails the cold weather test despite its 20 degree temperature rating.

Dick's Sporting Goods does not supply much information about the materials used in the Field & Stream MT 20. But we do know it contains three pounds of synthetic insulation, measures a long 84" x 32" x 22", and comes with a stuff sack that some campers say is quite a struggle to pack. The vendor offers an extended one-year service contract for $4.99.

The relatively low price may be a big attraction for occasional campers. But b ased on reviews we read, we can't recommend the Field & Stream MT 20 -- especially if you intend to camp out on 20 degree nights and expect a fully functional zipper. If you need a cheap mummy-style bag, the Everest Mummy is a better bargain.
