Popular sleeping pad maker EXPED is expanding its sleeping bag offerings with the Terra bags, three versatile, affordable sleeping bags. The Terra sleeping bags, which are available in 0 degrees, 15 degrees, and 30 degrees, have launched exclusively through REI. Here’s everything you need to know about this new entrant into the sleeping bag market.
Technical Specs
The unisex Terra comes in five sizes, so customers can find the fit that’s best for them. Compared to some of our favorite backpacking sleeping bags, the Terra is solidly in the mix when it comes to weight, with the medium size of the 30-degree bag clocking in at 1 pound, 9.5 ounces, and the medium size of the 0-degree bag weighing 3 pounds, 11 ounces.
The Terra 15-degree bag weighs less than Nemo’s 15-degree bag, the Disco (3 pounds versus 3 pounds, 5 ounces), and weighs 9 more ounces than REI’s Magma 15.
The bags’ warmth comes from 650-fill down, and they have an adjustable comfort hood and draft collar to keep heat in. The 3D footbox has 11 down chambers to keep feet warm while also providing ample room for movement.
A ripstop shell, made with fully recycled fabric, offers some light water resistance. Other handy features include an anti-snag zipper with glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls and an easy-access pocket inside.
Who Is the EXPED Terra For?
EXPED is aiming to attract customers who want a do-it-all sleeping bag. “[They’re] designed for the multi-activity customer who wants a single fully-featured sleeping bag that works for both backpacking and camping,” the brand said in a press release.
EXPED might also attract people who are trying to avoid breaking the bank on a sleeping bag. The prices for the bags are as follows: Terra 30 ($200), Terra 15 ($250), and Terra 0 ($300). Unlike other brands that upcharge for larger bags, prices are the same for every size of a given model of the Terra.
Compared to other brands like Nemo Equipment or Mountain Hardwear, whose 0-degree bags cost $600 and $355, respectively, the Terra is definitely on the lower end of the price scale. For backpackers who are looking to save some serious change, the Terra might just be the ticket.
GearJunkie has yet to test the Terra bags, but stay tuned for the full review coming soon.
The EXPED Terra 30, 15, and 0 are currently only available at REI. In early 2026, the sleeping bags will become available through other major retailers.
