No Polyester Sleeping Bag

[Brian in Montana]

My wife is looking to get back into doing some backpacking, so we've been looking for some lightweight gear for her. Only problem is she has a weird, and rather violent allergy to polyester, which of course is in everything. Any ideas on some lightweight equipment, sleeping bag specifically, that is poly-free?

Nylon, Rayon, and cotton are good, but even a poly-cotton blend will cause her to break out.

Any down bag with Pertex Quantum should fit the bill. Lots of mfg's use Quantum. The REI magma is a really nice bag, pertex outer, says 100% nylon liner. For many people the Magma's would be as much bag as they'd ever need.

I think a lot are Nylon but often they are not good about explaining 100% of materials online

My Nemo Riff is 100% Nylon

Would a silk bag liner be a decent work around?

Check out Everon Outdoors, local company in Northern Utah. Good guy, met him at the Boise Soortsman show.

She actually found a Nemo Disco at Bob Wards for 20% off. Weighs 3lb. I think it will work out well.
