Space Cowboy 45F Synthetic Sleeping Bag

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Thermarest Space Cowboy is a lightweight synthetic sleeping bag built for intense pursuits in mild temperatures. Zoned insulation makes it one of the lightest, most compact bags in it’s class.

Thermarest says

The Space Cowboy sleeping bag welcomes the idea of sleeping out under the stars with the worry-free warmth of synthetic eraLoft™ insulation. Its hollow fibers allow it to retain warmth even when wet—shrugging off morning dew and drying out super fast. Weighing less than two pounds and with a comfort rating of 45F/7C, you’ll be plenty warm all summer, whether you’re road tripping or heading deep into the backcountry. Shell and liner are made of a light and soft, GRS-certified 100% recycled nylon and an anti-snag YKK® zipper keeps them free of accidental tears. For optimal efficiency SynergyLink™ Connectors mate the bag to your sleeping pad, preventing drafts and cold spots. The precision-tuned fit makes sure you have the space you need, while eliminating unnecessary drafts and weight.

Our Verdict

If you know you are in for good weather this is an excellent summer bag, or a good bag to take travelling say, you are staying in dormitories, a refuge or youth hostel, this would be a good choice. The bag has a more generous cut than most mummy style sleeping bags, which makes it good for side sleepers. The bag also comes with newly designed straps to attach the bag to a sleeping mat, to reduce the chance of you wriggling off your mat in the night, these of course can be removed.
