Product Information
Full details
The Kelty Solstice 20 Sleeping Bag is designed for campers who prioritize spacious comfort and versatility over ultralight performance. It is an ideal choice for weekend getaways, car camping, and extended trips where pack weight is not the primary concern. While its oversized rectangular dimensions provide excellent room to move, its larger footprint makes it less suitable for long-distance backpacking expeditions where space inside a pack is limited.

FAQs
What is the temperature rating for this bag?
The Solstice 20 is designed for 3-season use, generally comfortable in temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your sleeping pad and base layers.
Can I zip two of these bags together?
While the dual-slider zipper offers versatility, it is not specifically designed to be mated with another Solstice bag.
Is this sleeping bag waterproof?
The exterior fabric is water-resistant, but the bag is not waterproof. It is designed to resist moisture, but you should still use a ground tarp under your sleeping pad.
What kind of sleeping pad should I use?
Because the bag is large, a wide sleeping pad (at least 30 inches) is recommended to ensure you stay insulated from the cold ground.
How do I store the bag long-term?
Store the bag loosely in a large cotton or mesh bag in a cool, dry place to prevent the insulation from compressing permanently.
Troubleshooting
Zipper keeps snagging on the fabric
Ensure the anti-snag webbing is lying flat and use a slow, steady motion while zipping. If fabric is caught, pull the fabric gently away from the teeth rather than pulling the zipper harder.
Bag feels flat after storage
Shake the sleeping bag vigorously and hang it in a warm, dry area for 24 hours to allow the synthetic fibers to regain their maximum loft.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Larger packed size is bulky for lightweight backpacking
- Heavier than mummy-style sleeping bags
- Not intended for extreme high-altitude alpine conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bag, unroll it and allow the insulation to loft for several minutes before use. When storing the bag, avoid keeping it in its tight compression sack for long periods; instead, use a large mesh storage bag or hang it to preserve the loft of the synthetic fibers. To clean, use a front-loading commercial washer on a gentle cycle with a mild, technical-grade detergent. Always tumble dry on the lowest heat setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation. Avoid dry cleaning, as chemicals can degrade the performance of the synthetic materials.
