REI doesn't host a Black Friday sale—instead, the retailer encourages shoppers to get outside and explore local nature. Despite that, REI recently packed its sale section with incredible deals on Arc'teryx jackets, Prana hiking pants, and a ton of Garmin smartwatches. But one of the coziest deals—just in time for chillier-weather camping—is on one of Nemo's down sleeping bags that provides a ton of warmth and stuffs down into a small package.
Nemo’s Disco 15 Endless Promise Down Sleeping Bag is on sale for just $180 at REI—a substantial 40% off of the regular price of $300. This roomy and warm down sleeping bag has earned nearly 50 five-star ratings from customers who say that it has “plenty of room” but is still “compact,” allowing it to “pack up small.” It only comes in one golden yellow color, but if you can sacrifice the 15-degree warmth rating, there's a slightly lighter model in blue that's on sale for $162.

A good sleeping bag is an outdoor essential, and this one from Nemo covers all of the bases. It’s designed to give you space at the elbows and knees so you can change sleeping positions all night long. It's also stuffed with premium 650-fill down that’s hydrophobic and sourced responsibly and it's reinforced with waterproof material at the hood and footbox to keep condensation at bay. Special “Thermo Gill” vents on each side of the chest help you dial in the perfect sleeping temp and a thick draft collar keeps out chill as you slumber. The zipper is designed to be anti-snag so you won’t get frustrated getting in or out—especially for late-night bathroom breaks. The bag is also constructed of materials that can be recycled so it doesn’t have to go into a landfill once its life is over.
Satisfied shoppers are most enthused that the sleeping bag is roomy enough to accommodate all types of sleepers. “I'm a side sleeper and I cannot stand traditional mummy bags," a shopper began. "This is the only mummy I'll ever use again.” Another agreed, saying, “This gives me a lot more room to move around—I sleep on my back and sides and switch all night.”

One shopper said that it is “warm, light, compact, and comfortable,” while another added, “There are so many features that allow you to control the temp inside the bag, so no matter what, you can sleep comfortably.” One reviewer went as far as calling it “the best sleeping bag I have ever owned.”
Sleeping bags, along with sleeping pads, can turn any backcountry night from a restless nightmare into a peaceful slumber, and this one from Nemo is the antidote to an awful outdoor sleeping situation. Not only is it one of the best bags reviewers have used, but it’s also an astounding $120 off. Those in the know will snap this one up quickly, so get this into your cart before it’s too late.
