BEST FOR COLD SLEEPERS
If your camping plans involve high altitude or shoulder seasons, the toasty full-zip Down Lady should be the first thing you pack. Its 650-fill down is wrapped in a water-repellent ripstop nylon shell. Other features include a fat collar and draft tube, and a hood big enough to hold a pillow and let you sit up when it’s cinched. 15掳F, 2.8 lbs; lafumausa.com
Bonus: One size only, but the length fits most taller women, who often can’t use shorter female-specific bags.
Bummer: The gimmicky compression sack is overkill.
