Sierra Designs Cloud 800 20 Degree Sleeping Bag Review

In the past couple years i've had my hands on a few different sleeping bags and quilts, everything from Mont Bell, Nemo Equipment, Outdoor Vitals, Paria Outdoor Products, Hammock Gear and more. But the Sierra Designs Cloud 800 20 degree sleeping bag is easily my favorite bag of the recent bags i've used. Innovative design, comfort and simplicity have made for a great sleeping experience.

Recently purchased the 35 degree cloud, large. It accommodates a 25 inch pad. Also was able to put my 30 inch pad into the sleeve. Very nice bag.

Looking at this bag now, great point about not working well side to side, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks Devin!

Mine will be arriving Tuesday and I am so excited to take it on my trip to Utah next week. Can't believe this bag don't get more love, it's a game changer.

I like that idea behind the quilt/mummy bag combo. Sounds interesting.

I bought the women’s version of this sleeping bag today! I didn’t realize you had reviewed it until after I bought it but now I am even more excited for it to get here because I trust you. 😃 Hope your week is amazing!

Great review, it led me to buy this bag. One thing I wanted to mention was the pad sleeve that Sierra Designs says only fits a 20” wide / 2.5” thick pad. In reality it fit my long wide Nemo Tensor and it’s 25” wide and 3” thick. I’m sure this info will help someone.

Thanks again!

How can you say "little bit chilly but plenty warm" in the same sentence (7:05) Is it w 4 season bag or not????

[RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

Hey Devin! Had the earlier version of this bag... The Backcountry Bed in the 800 fill... was really an innovative bag for sure!!! I especially love that color scheme you have!!!!

[geraldhenrickson]

Sierra Designs confirms the long version fits a 25 wide pad. Whew!

[JakeMorrison]

Thanks for the detailed review. Answered all the questions I had about this sleeping bag. Be curious if they will launch other colors.

[steveyd]

will a standard klymit pad fit in this bag? it is about 23" wide.

[davidpainter]

As a small guy, 5'8" and 140#, I bought the womens' model. It has 4 more oz. of down. I love it!

[TheWasatchGearReview]

That bag is sick! I'm going to be taking a hard look at this one for sure! Thanks Devin!

[LordQuiche]

How do you guys feel about this bag a few years down the line now? im thinking of getting one combined with my Nemo Tensor....

[gman]

Did you get the regular size sleeping bag? I heard the long bag will accommodate a 25" pad but I'm not sure. I have one coming in the mail, so I'll let you know.

[rickfromvirginia]

Good review, does it only come in one length? I definently like some of the features!

[jariperho]

Thanks for the insightful overview of this bag and its small details. It looks to be aimed more for back sleepers because of the pad sleeve, single side comforter and cut out back. The back and hood won't roll with the sleeper, and sleeping on your right side seems awkward. I've seen a few reviews and hardly anyone mentions these pretty significant specifics. I do like the zipperless design, but Sierra Designs added some weight back with overlapping materials (foot vent and comforter) and a pad sleeve.

[geraldhenrickson]

Looking at the sleeping bag from where I sit...the area over the legs seems to have too little loft for a 20-degree bag. I am a very cold sleeper and am a bit hesitant. Perhaps I will purchased from a company that has a good return policy. Thanks for the video. UPDATE: Whoops...I forgot that there is NO insulation on the underside of much of the bag making it appear the bag has nearly half the loft that you would normally expect. My bad...

[crocodile]

I'm used to my Big Agnes where the sleeve runs the entire length. Since this one is only attached at the top, is there a risk of getting tangled in it while tossing and turning? I'm picturing the bottom portion trying to move with your legs while the top stays put!
