About this product

The Kelty Wayback 20 is a rectangular, unisex sleeping bag rated to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 7 degrees Celsius), designed for general camping use. Its roomy cut accommodates a range of sleeping positions, with shoulder and hip girth each measuring 72 inches and a fit length of up to 78 inches. The outer shell is a silky, fine-denier recycled 40-denier nylon ripstop treated with a PFAS-free durable water repellent finish, while the liner is a soft organic woven cotton flannel. Insulation is Kelty's CirroLoft ECO synthetic fill, made from 100 percent recycled fibers, with a fill weight of 3 pounds 3.9 ounces and a total packed weight of approximately 2,722 grams. An insulated mid-blanket provides neck and shoulder draft protection, and dual locking sliders with full-length draft tubes allow flexible venting. The bag also features an internal stash pocket, low-profile blanket snaps, and a headspace sized to fit a standard or king pillow. A stuff sack (11.5 by 22 inches, 38.2 liters) is included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Kelty Wayback 20 for its exceptionally cozy flannel lining, which makes it feel less like a traditional sleeping bag and more like a blanket cocoon. The spacious rectangular shape is a recurring highlight, especially for side sleepers and those who dislike restrictive mummy bags. The full-length two-way zipper, which converts the bag into a blanket, earns frequent appreciation for versatility around camp. The recycled Cloudloft synthetic insulation is noted as surprisingly breathable. The most common criticism is that the 20-degree rating is optimistic: the lack of a hood, a drafty footbox, and the open top design let heat escape noticeably once temperatures drop into the low 30s. Reviewers also flag its large packed size as a dealbreaker for backpacking, firmly placing it in the car-camping category. A few note the price feels slightly high for what is essentially a comfort-focused, non-technical bag.
