I am not doing anything out of the ordinary except putting my head in the hood, like I normally would.

The NEMO Forte 35 performed admirably — it allowed me to sleep on my side, back, stomach, and twisted up any-which-way. The Forte isn't particularly warm and could be a good choice for campers who run on the hotter side and who are looking for a roomier, non-mummy bag shape.We've tested other sleeping pad attachment systems that don't offer a similar degree of adjustability. A few manufacturers have done away with the pins, choosing instead to sew the ends of the zipper directly into the bags. However, the fill weight should allow for a rough comparison — as with down, a bag with more synthetic insulation should be warmer than one with less. However, each brand tested their bags in different ways, and it was hard to find a fair comparison between models. Both companies' bags have an internal strip of plastic in the adjacent fabric to direct the fabric away from the zipper teeth and further reduce the chance of snagging.

It has a blanket fold around the neck that feels cozy, a built-in pillow pocket, a two-way zipper, and Thermo Gills for temperature regulation.Editor's Note: We updated this review on November 22, 2023, after retesting several top contenders, adding 4 new bags, and removing outdated and discontinued products. It’s worth noting that a men’s bag can’t zip to another men’s bag, and the same goes for two women’s bags. Finally, NEMO offers a down line of Spoon Bags, which utilize the same features and shape, but have down insulation of varying qualities. Versatile and resilient, the Forte is perfect for those looking for a sleeping bag to suit any sleeping style.

But it’s not a panacea because it’s not paired with a stiffener along the draft tube, something the bag should have anyway. This Forte sleeping bag is suitable for three-season use, meaning that in most environments, you can comfortably sleep in it from spring through fall.

So we're delighted to see that the Hyperion's attachment system is designed to be removable, leaving the decision up to you whether the extra weight is worth the benefits. If you want one sleeping bag that can handle most environments and outdoor pursuits, this bag should be at the top of your list. A bag that fits too tight results in your body squeezing against the insulation, reducing its ability to trap heat. The Nemo Forte is a big step up in comfort from the Coleman Big Bay 20° Mummy Sleeping Bag, which is the value pick in my best sleeping bags review.
