Sleeping bag for shorties recommendation

CamisMors · Tuesday at 1:15 PM

I'm looking to buy a sleeping bag for my next Camino, but since I'm only 1.5m tall (5 feet), I’d prefer not to go with a standard-sized one. I don't want to feel like I’m swimming in it, and the extra 30cm of unused space just adds unnecessary weight. On my last Camino, which was during the peak of summer, I got by with just a sleeping bag liner, but this time I think I’ll need something warmer. I've tried searching for kids' or junior-sized sleeping bags, but all I’ve found are Hello Kitty prints or options that are either too small, bulky, or heavy.
Do you know of any brands that offer smaller-sized sleeping bags for adults?

Not sure about small. Most just make regular and large.

My wife is 5'1" and uses this one. It's very light so I'm not sure losing a few cms off the end would make much difference. It's only 348 gms.... (the 7C version). But wow, they've gone up in price the last few years!

If you're counting grams, but still count on a great night's sleep, the Spark may be the right bag for you. Filled with RDS-certified 850+ fillpower goose down treated with a non-PFAS Ultra-Dry Down treatment, the Spark is constructed with a technical hood and zipper draft tube to retain warmth...

Wow, 348gr! It's quite expensive indeed but seems like a solid option. Thank you for the suggestion.

when I do a search for saco de dormir niños, my friend at Amazon also comes up with Hello Kitty and a wonderful astronaut.
however, many sleeping bags offer a version for juniors in their regular collection. and these have the same design as the ones for adults.

I would check Decathlon.

I am only 25cm taller than you and love my Cumulus (Magic 100 Zip) down sleeping bag. Only weighs 250g and squashes down into its tiny bag. Made in Poland cost 175 EU plus postage last year.

I bought a youth size sleeping bag, it's perfect, not as bulky. I'm 5'3"/1.60m

There is a place in Australia called Neve Gear (www.nevegear.com.au)) that makes customise quilts starting at 5 feet 2 inches they are however fairly expensive but worth looking at

Is there anywhere in Santiago that I can donate a backpack, poncho, coolmax sleep liner, Finisterre guide book and an unused credential? I would like someone else to have use of them if possible - ta!

Kathmandu in 2015 made the perfect pair of hiking shorts and then they changed the design and made them all skinny. I have Polynesian tree trunk thighs so I don't want a fitted look. I want...

As we have no hold luggage, I’m having to leave my much appreciated walking poles at home! Can I get walking poles in Sarria (our start point) or should I pick them up in Madrid? I know Madrid...
