I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Kayu 15 Sleeping Bag

The Kayu series from Nemo is designed specifically for backpackers seeking an ultralight sleeping bag that doesn't compromise on features. The Kayu 15 Sleeping Bag, in particular, has impressed us with its exceptional qualities.

With its superior 800-fill down insulation, this bag provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The down is treated with Nikwax, resulting in hydrophobic properties that help it retain warmth even in damp environments.

But that's not all. The shell and lining of this bag are also treated with durable water-resistance, offering additional protection against moisture. Moreover, the hood and footbox are enhanced with Osmo waterproofing, ensuring you stay dry even in wet weather or a damp tent.

One standout feature of the Kayu 15 Sleeping Bag is Nemo's innovative Thermo Gills. These unique vents allow for enhanced ventilation, keeping you comfortably regulated in variable temperatures.
