For the ladies looking for an affordable backpacking sleeping bag, our top pick is The North Face Cat's Meow. This bag might not be the best in any specific metric but it provides an impressive balance of performance. It offers solid warmth, including a 22° F temperature rating, in a bag that packs small and weighs a modest 2.5 pounds. The Heatseeker synthetic insulation will also maintain loft better than down if it gets wet, which makes it a good choice for wetter climates. What we love the most, however, is the reasonable price. It offers one of the best values you can find for a sleeping bag that's suitable for backcountry adventures.
The downside to the great price is the overall performance ranks near average. There are plenty of other bags that provide lighter weight, more warmth, or more luxurious dimensions. We also found some other models pack smaller or utilize more comfortable materials. None of these competitors, however, offer the same value for a backpacking sleeping bag.
