If you have ever felt too cold in your sleeping bag while tent camping, then you know how miserable it is to spend the night shivering and counting down the minutes until sunrise. I previously used a 30-degree car camping sleeping bag for backpacking trips, but it was bulky, heavy, and provided no warmth whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Since I didn\u2019t have a quality sleeping bag designed for backpacking<\/a>, it took up a ton of room in my pack and added unnecessary weight to my load. I had gotten used to putting on extra layers before hitting the hay, but even with these warm clothes, I would often wake up freezing throughout the night.<\/p>\n

I recently tested the new REI Magma 15-degree Sleeping Bag on a backpacking trip to Havasu Falls as well as a Spring car camping trip in Colorado. At Havasu Falls in early March, the forecast predicted wind, rain, low temperatures in the 20s, and surprisingly, even a chance of snow. So I wanted to pack a sleeping bag to keep me warm in these conditions. Plus, since I had a 20-mile trek with my backpack, I wanted a sleeping bag that was light and compact.<\/p>\n

This sleeping bag was a game-changer for me. It fit in my pack with room to spare, and I didn\u2019t need the extra layers or hand warmers I brought for nighttime. <\/strong>I had some of the best nights of sleep I\u2019ve ever experienced while tent camping.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This review demonstrates how the new and improved REI Magma Sleeping Bag lives up to its name, keeping you as warm as magma even on chilly nights. In this REI Magma Sleeping Bag review, I share the pros and cons, details on the technical features, and my personal experience using the 15-degree version of this sleeping bag.<\/p>\n

REI Magma Sleeping Bag Overview<\/h2>\n

Although the REI Magma Sleeping Bag is not brand new (Kristen, BFT\u2019s Founder, hiked with an earlier version on the John Muir Trail), it has been recently updated in both 15-degree and 30-degree. It now comes in unisex versions that include more sizes and fit more body types. REI\u2019s goal with the rerelease of the Magma Sleeping Bags is to help more people find sleeping bags that fit them properly so they can comfortably sleep in a tent<\/a> while enjoying the outdoors.<\/p>\n

Why is the perfect fit important? If a sleeping bag is too big or loose, you\u2019ll feel cold. I\u2019m 5\u20199\u2033, which often puts me in between sizes for sleeping bags. Having to size up means I have too extra room at my feet resulting in my feet getting cold. It also means carry a bigger bag than I need, which adds more weight and wastes precious room in my backpack. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, if your sleeping bag is too small, you won\u2019t fit in the bag. Your shoulders might not be fully covered, and you won\u2019t have room to move around properly.<\/p>\n

Finally, not all women fit in what would be considered a women\u2019s bag, and the same is true for men. This new unisex sizing structure is a huge improvement for getting a custom fit no matter your gender or size.<\/p>\n
