REI Co-op Helio Sack 50 Sleeping Bag
Review
It’s like a big puffer jacket.
It’s a perfect fit for when camping in a small tent with an insulated matt. It’s not great for just about any other environment.
I took it to white water, where we slept under the stars. Even with a unsulated matt, sweats, wool socks, my Patagonia jacket, and a beenie, I was VERY cold.
