Our verdict
The Cosmic 20 is the answer to a simple question: how do I get a genuine 20-degree down bag without paying premium-brand prices? Kelty uses 550-fill DriDown - water-resistant, so it holds loft better than untreated down in a damp tent - which is the smart corner to cut at this price. It packs bigger and weighs a bit more than a 800-fill bag costing three times as much, and that is the honest trade. For new backpackers building a kit, budget-minded three-season hikers, and anyone who wants down warmth without the sticker shock, this is one of the best value picks in the category.
