The Cosmic Ultra range provide exceptional value for money with a serious amount of down providing you with a warm sleeping bag. These are well made bags that are durable, comfortable and have some impressive features.
Kelty says:
The Kelty Women's Cosmic Ultra 20 is the ultimate in a lightweight mummy. We’ve taken our top-selling Cosmic Bag and added a women’s specific 800 fill DriDown version, with all the perks too. The new trapezoidal baffle construction improves is ideal for retaining heat—and it’s just one of the reasons Cosmic is still our favorite three-season superstar. We also love the natural-fit foot box for happier feet, and a PFC-free water-repellent coating for a healthier environment.
What makes it a women’s bag? It’s designed for and tested to women’s specific ISO standards. Studies show that women “sleep colder” than men. So, in addition to narrower shoulders, wider hips and a shorter torso, our women’s bags have extra insulation in the upper body and footbox.
Our Verdict
Kelty's Womens Cosmic Ultra 20 Down Sleeping Bag provides a huge amount of warmth and comfort. The bag uses trapezoidal baffles to allow the down to loft more and trap more heat. Using 700g of 800FP down you are getting a massive amount of insulation which is reflected in the -10°C Comfort Limit. It has all the features you'd expect from a top of the range bag with a draft tube down the anti-snag zipper, shoulder baffles and a close fitting hood.
For the set of features and level of warmth at this price there are some other costs and these come in the weight of the bag and it's pack size. The Cosmic Ultra definitely provides excellent value for money as long as you are fine with the heavier weight and larger pack size compared to more expensive alternatives. It is certainly a perfect piece of kit for car camping in particularly cold conditions.
