Ranked #2 in Best 0 Degree Sleeping Bags

Sea to Summit Spark 0F

4.4

3 sourcesall derived$679as of Aug 1

The Spark 0F is the ultralight of this group, packing a genuine 0°F-rated bag into about 2 lb 7 oz and a sub-10-liter stuff size. It uses 850+ fill Ultra-Dry down, and reviewers find its temperature rating accurate. Against that: a snug, less-forgiving cut, a thin shell offering little wet-weather protection, and a steep price for the warmth.

Strengths

— Among the lightest 0°F down bags at roughly 2 lb 7 oz
— Sub-10-liter packed size, the most compressible bag here
— 850+ fill power Ultra-Dry treated goose down resists moisture

Watch-outs

— Snug ultralight cut is less forgiving than the Kodiak or Ibis
— Thin shell offers little wet-weather protection
— Pricey at roughly $649-$679 for the warmth delivered

Ranked #3 in Best 0 Degree Sleeping Bags

Western Mountaineering Kodiak MF

4.4

2 sources1 derived$795as of Aug 1

The Kodiak MF is the warmest 0°F bag most reviewers have ever tested, beating its rating with a roomy, side-sleeper-friendly cut. OutdoorGearLab consistently names it their top winter pick and found it performed more like a -20°F bag than a 0°F one. The trade-off is a list price near $900 and a wide cut that costs some warmth-to-weight efficiency against narrower mummies.

Strengths

— Tested warmer than its 0°F rating; held testers to roughly -10°F with light layering
— 1.88 lb of 850+ fill goose down with continuous baffles you can shift top-to-bottom
— Wide-cut mummy with generous shoulder, hip and footbox room for side sleepers

Watch-outs

— List price near $895-$950 is among the highest in the category
— Wide cut adds dead air space, so it is not the most weight-efficient 0°F option
— Continuous baffles can shift down underneath you if not redistributed

Derived means the reviewer published no score, so one was inferred from their written verdict. Everything else is a number the publisher printed. How we rank.

Sea to Summit Spark 0F

The lightest and most compressible bag here, undercutting the Therm-a-Rest Parsec 0F on weight and packed size and far lighter than the Western Mountaineering Kodiak MF, Feathered Friends Ibis ES 0 and Mountain Hardwear Phantom 0, but with a snugger cut and a thin, less weatherproof shell.

Western Mountaineering Kodiak MF

The roomiest and warmest bag here, beating the Mountain Hardwear Phantom 0 and Therm-a-Rest Parsec 0F on real-world warmth and the Feathered Friends Ibis ES 0 on cut width, but it is heavier and pricier than the lighter Sea to Summit Spark 0F.
