Ladies, I’m looking for your experience with spoon/hour glass/relaxed mummy style sleeping bags for my side sleeper spouse. I’ll take any guidance you can provide, but I’m shooting for <3lbs, EN15ish rated, needs to have a hood, and in the $350 neighborhood (but I’ll spend whatever it takes). Thoughts?
The EN 15ish rating? Is that women’s comfort or male lower limit?
Feathered Friends offers several Women’s bags. Your price range is too low for reliable conservative temperature ratings. However, the weight will be closer to 2 pounds instead of 3 pounds.
Good luck!

Montbell Down Hugger 800 #1 if she has to carry it. You can get into your price range with a lower fill number but the weight goes up. As a small lady myself, every ounce matters so I spend the dollars.
Yup, she’ll be carrying it. I appreciate the lead and will go check it out, thank you.Quote:

You could probably try out of fit of either of these at your local REI, if you have one.
I also wouldn't rule out a quilt unless your thought about it, tried one out, and decided that a quilt isn't for you.
my wife loves the rei joule 21 (en-rated at 21)
We have found it true to temp down to 25, with zero issues with warmth at that temp. And she sleeps pretty cold and has complained about previous bags near the rating
Would need to try it for comfort, but try the regular and wide if you're considering it
It's good value, and often goes on sale
i returned my nemo spoon bag and got another montbell. They are truly awesome. very soft, cozy and light and in the 800 fill they have short length avail. Subtract 10 degrees from their ratings because they are marketing to men. So get a 20 degree for true 30 degree coverage. they are very light and if laundered properly will last years. love them. very stretchy. Being hugged by a cloud someone called it. Not restrictive at all.
