Description

An excellent option for side sleeping backpackers or anyone who wants more ergonomic room and comfort in a sleeping bag, the NEMO Riff 15 Degree bag utilizes a unique "Spoon Shape" design to provide adjustable 3-season comfort and weight savings.

Down insulation has long been renowned for its compressible properties and efficiency in delivering an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The shortcoming of down has been its susceptibility to the effects of moisture, losing much of its performance qualities when wet or damp. The Riff 15's premium 800-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic down insulation provides water-repellency that keeps the insulation dry longer and allows it to dry faster if it should become wet. More importantly, it maintains thermal efficiency even if it becomes wet, a quality that could traditionally only be found in heavier, less-compressible synthetic fills. The bag's lightweight 20D ripstop nylon shell has a DWR treatment to further protect the insulation from the elements.

NEMO’s innovative Spoon Shape contours give you extra space where it matters most. The cut starts wide in the shoulders, tapers in at the hips for comfort and warmth, and flares back out through the knees, letting you bend and shift naturally throughout the night. Another unique feature is NEMO's "Thermo Gills", zippered panels that enable you to vent body heat at your core without having to unzip the entire bag. This temperature regulation feature allows the bag to remain comfortable in varying temperatures. A waterproof/breathable footbox protects the bag further from the condensation build up that frequents the inside of tent walls.

Other comfort features include a fully-insulated hood and NEMO’s soft, down-filled Blanket Fold design. This insulated panel at the collar of the bag mimics home bedding and can be tucked around the face on cold nights or lay flat when it’s not needed. A contoured side zipper and down-insulated draft tube keep cold air out of the bag's interior. Drawcord adjustments around the face can be tightened or loosened as needed. A small zippered pocket provides a place to safely stash valuables.

Available in your choice of Regular (fits to 6’ 0") and Long (6’ 6") lengths, the NEMO Riff 15 Degree sleeping bag includes a stuff sack and a storage sack.

Excellent bag

Likes

Purchased this bag over a year ago because i was tired of being cold on winter camp outs. Amazed at how fast it gets warm once you are in it. 28 degree weather and comfortable in tshirt and shorts. Just purchased a second Riff 15 for my oldest son.

Dislikes

can't think of a single negative.

Awesome sleeping bag for side sleepers!!

Likes

Comfort, warmth, quality, weight, plenty of room to move around for side sleepers

Dislikes

Wish the side zipper had a better system to keep it from getting caught/hung up, but once you learn the best way to zip it, it is mostly a non-issue.

Warm, roomy and soft

Likes

Great sleeping bag. Provides the warmth you need without the weight associated with other sleeping bag with similar temperature rating. Love how you dont feel claustrophobic like a typical mummy style bag. The fabric is great, very soft.

Dislikes

The down comes out sometime (not that often but it happens) just need to grab it from the inside to pull it back in. Other than that nothing to dislike.

I've had it for about a year now and have spent close to 30 nights out with it. I am a 6 ft, 190 lb Male using the long bag. I went with the 800 down to save weight. Overall I'm very happy with the bag. It is suitable for a range of temperatures.

Likes

It is spacious. As a side/stomach sleeper it allows for room to move around and sprawl a bit. It is lightweight for size/warmth. easy to adjust temperature with zips and bag position (as long as the temps are above freezing, 35+) Comfortable material.

Dislikes

The Temp rating was off for me. I was freezing on a 20 degree F night, fully dresses in warm layers. There is very little insulation on the bottom of the bag. Since I tend to move in my sleep, I was constantly revealing cold spots. A good way to connect to a sleeping mat and keep the bottom down would be necessary in cold weather. It seems to shed a lot of down at the seams (more than any other down bags we have) even after 30 uses.

Not bad at all

Likes

It’s feels great inside, very roomy for a side sleeper. Lying flat is even better. Handles are easy to use.

Dislikes

It kept me moderately warm. I was in an area where it was 25 degrees. Dressed with warm clothing of course but I still felt like I was not maintaining as much heat as I would have liked.

Finally!

Where have you been all my life? This bag has the movement and comfort missing in every mummy bag! I dig the color scheme too, because looking good is part of comfort. The baffles are great and WARM... Really dig the hood and the gills, as well as the blanket design. The pillow pocket is a nice feature as well. Its lightweight yet again, warm!! The zipper is well made too! and the stuff sack is perfect.

Dislikes

No formal foot openings at the bottom, but not really a big deal. MAYBE too warm... But thats not really a big deal either.

Overall this was a great purchase. Got using My20 which made me feel like I got a deal.

I needed a warmer bag for trip to Virginia Triple Crown last weekend. (Dragon tooth, McAfee Knob and Tinker Cliffs). The temp was mid 40's in the daytime and mid 20's at night. I used the RIFF 15 and my smart wools. I need to add my puffy coat to stay toasty but was pleased with the comfort level. The RIFF's spoon shape provides the additional space to make. changing. positions during the night very easy. The collar at the head opening provides extra material to ensure there are no gaps to create draft. Even with the extra space and comfort, the bag compresses very well to fit. most any backpack compartment.

Great!!

Likes

Lots of room for side sleeping. And while sleeping on back it seems wider in the upper chest allowing me to move shoulders better than a mummy bag. Seals very well around neck and head. Super tough outer body and water proof toe box.

Dislikes

Pulls on the vent zippers are a bit small.
