Hyke & Byke Eolus 15 Degree Sleeping Bag | A Good Cold Weather Bag?

6 років тому

Thanks to Hyke & Byke for sharing this sleeping bag with me to provide this review.
I've had a chance to use a lot of different sleeping bags this year, and to wrap of the year, I share my review of the Hike and Bike Eolus 15 Degree 800 Fill Goose Down Sleeping Bag. For a budget minded bag that comes straight from the manufacturer, it is a really great bag that won't break the bank. It's made well, haven't experience any of the down pushing through that would be out of the norm, it's warm enough and made well.

I purchased this on a 0º version, I slept very warm and comfortable on a 30° weather. I definitely recommend this brand for the excellent quality and affordability of their items.

@seanpeine9258 5 років тому

Thank you this has really helped me feel like I want to go with a zero degree bag.

@rmj2n 5 років тому

Use a bag liner and you can shed those extra layers while you sleep. It's a good and cheap way to add warmth to your bag.

@hermit6208 6 років тому

Good Review. I picked up the shavano 30 degree that they make last spring and it holds up well to that rating for me. I'm also a hot sleeper. I think the lowest I've had it was 30 in my tent and 34 /35 in my hammock.

Beautiful review, thanks for sharing. After this video ordered the Antero 15°F Hammock Compatible 800, the Antero 0°F Hammock Compatible 800 was sold out. Checked the site under Specifications/Sizing the Temperature Rating shows (Survival/Lower/Comfort 15/30/50).

@chasingtheecho9333 6 років тому

Thanks for making the first in depth video on the eolus. I've owed the same bag for a couple months now and I love it. Reminds me of the Marmot plasma series bags with the vertical baffles and color but at a way cheaper cost. I sleep really warm so i stay toasty into the teens with a cheap liner. Really good bag for the cost. Sub'd!

@BackcountryExposure 6 років тому

Chasing the Echo hey thank you for the support. Those plasma bags are awesome. This bag is great too.

@javierrante 4 роки тому

I think the 15 is the extreme limit, meaning that you can survive at that temp, but if u wanna be comfortable add some 20 or 15 degrees to it. I liked your video! great content.

@madhacker7 4 роки тому

Another great video. Always honest and informative. Given your experience with both the Eolus and Paria Thermodown, which would you choose for a 0 degree bag? Based on quality and performance? Thanks!

@thousandsuns 5 років тому

I really dig the fact that it compresses down to a small size. I would definitely be using a liner if I get this and use this during winter no snow conditions. Thank you for sharing

Nice review Devin. Karate Josh has a zero degree of this bag I think. I think you're right about it being comparable to paria and outdoor vitals. It's nice to see so many options in that space. I've been trying the zero summit here (trip to come soon) and I've been impressed.

@dojocho1894 3 місяці тому

Great review, Im former US Army Spec Ops I learned over the years add 20 degrees to the number the manufacturer gives you in general 0 degree will be warm till 20. I do lots of trips in Norway with a Pulk in the winter I have a Mountain hardwear ghost bag -40 with the hyke n bike 15 bag you have. When weight is not a priority but warmth is the double bag works amazing..... The 15 keeps the warmth in then the -40 surrounds the 15 with a chamber of warmth. It gives lots of flexibility to your set up.

To put it in perspective snowy owl makes a 5lb down bag which can go to -60 but it is premium 900 fill power my down bag I made was 650 fill power but I slept in minus 15 and woke up sweating.

@TheWasatchGearReview 6 років тому

Definitely looks like it has a problem lofting up... 800 FP is normally pretty warm stuff. It's to bad you were chilly in it. Great review my friend!

@BackcountryExposure 6 років тому

The Wasatch Gear Review Thanks Brother! i think it just needs a few more ounces of Fill and it would be good.

@BackcountryExposure 6 років тому

SteadfastTrails yes the loft on the bag is much less than the Paria. The Thermodown has 650 in it, at least mine does. The May have changed it to 700, but the Eolus definitely doesn’t have the same amount of loft. It seems to be filled more like a 30 degree bag, and I’d go out on a limb and say that Paria has stuffed the Thermodown to make 15 degrees a comfort rating. At least my experience of being in the Thermodown into the teens i was toasty.

awesome thanks for the reply! (do kinda wish paria had more colour options lol)

@taradead 5 років тому

Dont see a lot of full-length vertical baffle bags anymore. Some people complain the down tends to migrate too much toward the feet, leaving cold spots in the middle of the bag. The Marmot "sawtooth" is a much better bag for only $180.

@xjinit 5 років тому

Apples and oranges bud, this is goose down 800 the Marmot is 650 duck down.

@taradead 5 років тому

@@xjinit The difference between types of down is weight, not heat. I've tried both in equally rated bags and, as far as insulation, couldn't tell the difference.

@xjinit 5 років тому

@@taradead when talking about these bags, weight is one of the major factors. You compared two completely different bags and said the price is comparable. In that case the Hyke and Byke Eolus 0 degree bag for 190 blows the Marmot out of the water.

@adamw4469 6 років тому

Thanks for the review. The FAQ at H&B says the bag "ratings" are the survival limit. The comfort limit is 30-50F! It's a shame that companies still use the lowest EN/survival rating. Very misleading. When a company uses the true EN comfort rating, it says a lot about their character IMO.

@seanpeine9258 5 років тому

Adam Wood thank you! I don’t want to survive I want to be comfortable.

@timsmith2193 5 років тому

website and amazon clearly lists a survival, lower limit, and comfort limit. I dont think they are hiding anything.

@markbenson7932 6 років тому

Wouldn't it be great if all Sleeping bag and quilt companies got together and unanimously decided to update the whole comfort rating to reality?! I have a 20 degree quilt that is really only good to 35-40 degrees in reality, I'm making the switch to a 0 F!

@BackcountryExposure 6 років тому

Mark Benson that would be amazing! I’m afraid bag prices would double since the amount of Fill needed to achieve those realistic temps.

@holyawesome2 4 роки тому

So would you purchase this one...or the Paria 15 degree quilt?

@BackcountryExposure 4 роки тому

Ben Sander is probably lean toward the Paria

@holyawesome2 4 роки тому

@@BackcountryExposure thanks for the response...How about the paria vs. the 0 degree Eolus?

@BackcountryExposure 4 роки тому

I still would go for Paria. Sure they don’t use 800 fill down, but I’ve enjoyed the Paria products a lot and they are a far more established brand in my opinion. Keep in mind too that both companies are not designing unique one of a kind products. They are coming from a mass production factory in China and the designs are designs that a lot of brands use and change the colors on and make minor design tweaks. Either bag will be awesome for the cost. I’ve experienced true temperature ratings from Paria vs the Eolus though. Go Paria!

Okay as far as sleeping on the goose down for centuries European countries have used down mattresses and they refused down blankets longer than we have Plus ducks and geese sleep on their bellies compressing the down and they stay warm if some of the worst weather and they now are making air mattresses with goose-down it in them so I think you're cold issue is you didn't have a good enough insulating layer between you and the ground
