I bought my first high-quality down sleeping bag in the late 1990s while working as a salesperson at Midwest Mountaineering in Minneapolis. That sleeping bag, a Marmot Pinnacle with 600-fill down, took me nearly 6 months to save for, even with a substantial discount.
Nearly 30 years since, do I regret the investment? Hell, no! That sleeping bag is in my gear cave today, and I still sleep in it dozens of nights a year. At this point, it’s one of the best investments of my life.
The lesson here is that a really good down sleeping bag serves as one of the best investments you’ll ever make in outdoor gear. And accordingly, they are, well, expensive.
So, with Black Friday sales rolling around, I scoured the web for some fantastic deals. Get one for a friend you really, really like. Or just grab one for yourself and be comfortable for the next, oh, 40 years.
Black Friday Sleeping Bag Deals
I started out by finding some early deals. Score these if you can, as who knows what will happen with supply chains these days? And check back next week, as I’ll update this story as more deals come online.
Also, note that I focused on the best down sleeping bags here. I highly prefer down sleeping bags because they have the highest warmth-to-weight ratio available.
They also compress better than synthetic sleeping bags and last basically forever. But if you use a bag in persistently wet conditions, or prefer a vegan product for any number of reasons, there are also many deals on synthetic bags now, too.
