    Description

    Seventy percent of people sleep on their side, yet mummy bags are not designed to accommodate this. Forte has been updated with Primaloft’s, lightweight, ultra-lofty and supremely resilient RISE insulation featuring 80% post-consumer recycled content. Forte’s classic Spoon™ shape provides a generous cut at the elbows and knees so side sleepers can shift positions comfortably throughout the night.

    These 3-season backpacking bags are loaded with features, including Thermo Gill™ vents that help regulate temperature during the night, a Blanket Fold™ draft collar that provides tucked-in comfort, an integrated pillow pocket, and a waterproof/breathable footbox to withstand tent condensation. Left-sided zippers on the men’s and right-sided zippers on the women’s styles allow two Fortes to zip together for a double version of these favorite synthetic sleeping bags.

    Features
    • Classic Spoon™ shape adds room at elbows and knees for versatile comfort.
    • Updated with Primaloft® RISE insulation, featuring 80% post-consumer recycled content, and engineered to deliver maximum warmth retention and water resistance with less weight than conventional synthetic insulation.
    • A fabric set of 30D nylon ripstop and 20D nylon taffeta offers an ultra-plush sleep experience.
    • Thermo Gill™ vents allow you to release body heat without letting cold drafts in.
    • Blanket Fold™ external draft collar and a full-length draft tube provide tucked-in comfort and temperature regulation.
    • Full-length double-slider #5 YKK zipper with a zipper plow makes getting in and out of the bag a breeze.
    • Integrated pillow pocket allows a jacket, extra clothes, or Fillo™ to be stuffed into the sleeve opening for secure, elevated support through the night.
    • Opposite-sided zippers on Forte men's and women's models increase versatility by allowing them to be zipped together into a double sleeping bag.
    • Patent # D804,780. Patents pending.
    • Included With Your Sleeping bag: Compression Sack, Mesh Storage Bag

    Great Bag......Just TOO TIGHT!!

    Overall, sleeping bag is very comfortable material. I camped 3 nights straight, when the weather was 85/60. Going to bed at night was boarderline uncomfortable, but, this bag material really made it feel much better. The reason it is 3star.....Im an average size Man, 5'9" - 210lbs. I am a side sleeper, and toss and turn. This sleeping bag was very tight on my body. There was hardly no extra room inside, even to move my arms to a different position. I felt pinned down inside it, fully zipped. Maybe this is the design to keep the material close to the body, so the body heat stays in....not sure, but it was uncomfortable at times.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Got this bag for my husband at the same time I ordered the women's Forte bag. He is 6' and the regular was just long enough. He prefers to not have too much extra length by his feet. This bag kept him warm in low 40 degree weather.

    I am 6' 215lbs. I just spent 10 days camping out west in Montana with this bag. Several days had temps drop into the mid to low 40s. I actually stayed nice and cozy in this bag. Plenty of room and it packed up tight.

    I have used this bag down to about 42 degrees in a tent, while wearing base layer garments and been comfortable. I especially appreciate the floating draft collar that I can wrap around my neck

    I just received the Forte 35 regular bag a couple of days ago. I bought this bag to replace a Big Agnes bag I have had for several year. I bought it based on several reviews I had read especially from bigger guys. As excited as I was to receive this bag, I was disappointed. The first thing that happened was one of the zippers on the gills got hung up. (The bag came with them unzipped). It was so bad I thought I was going to have to call Nemo. After about an hour I was able to get it unstuck. Then secondly, I got in the bag to try it out and I couldn't even zip it up all the way, I am a big guy, I am 5'8" and weigh 250. The problem was zipping it up around my shoulders and I am not broad shouldered. Not sure what I am going to do. I thought since this bag was a Spoon bag, it would have more room for turning over. I like the feel of the bag and think it is a quality, just not sure I can use it.

    Nice sleeping bag, bad zippers on Thermo Gills

    The sleeping bag is very comfortable. I used it on two trips last summer, one in the sawtooth mountains Idaho, the other in Moab Utah. The temperatures ranged from 45 to the mid 70s. It kept me warm enough at 45 and dumped enough heat for the 70s. I loved the pocket for the pillow and the draft collar. It packs down small and is fairly light. Unfortunately, while the Thermo Gills seemed to do their job, and the stash pocket was a nice touch, I struggled with the tiny junky zippers. They kept getting stuck. Over the weekend, while preparing for another trip, the zipper on one of the gills broke. The main zipper is pretty good, though it sometimes gets caught up in the fabric.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
