Early fall overnights with cedar-fresh air, week-long spring alpine excursions, and car-camping with the family—however we decide to use the Chigu Sleeping Bag, we know we'll be resting well. We've teamed up with NEMO, well-known for its luxurious campground experiences, to build the ideal shoulder season bag for all types of camping. The Chigu is wider than your average mummy bag, particularly at the waist and knees, giving side-sleepers like us the wiggle room we deserve, and because it's modeled after NEMO's Riff, its backpacking-forward design means it's still lightweight and packable enough for longer excursions.

I got it for my daughter for our bwca canoeing 8-day trip and it worked as expected. The sleeping bag came with a good compression sack and a bigger bag for storage. I was not sure about the color, but have to admit that in person it looks much better. The temperature at night was in the 50th. I can not comment on how it feels on the 20th. I know no one complains it was too hot. it was fluffy and compressed well for synthetic.
