Description
The Kelty Eclipse 15 is the colder-rated sibling of the Eclipse 35, sharing the same zipperless design, self-sealing foot vent, oversized rectangular cut, and hood, but stepping the comfort rating down to -9°C at a heavier 2750 g total weight — about a kilogram more than the Eclipse 35, reflecting the extra synthetic fill needed to hit that lower temperature. As with the 35, dropping the zip removes a common cold spot and failure point, while the oversized cut allows room for extra layers or shifting position through a cold night.
At 2750 g and with synthetic (not down) insulation, this is a car-camping or basecamp bag rather than a backpacking one — the weight and bulk needed to reach -9°C with synthetic fill would be a serious load to carry on foot. It suits late-season car camping or situations where washing and moisture resistance matter more than pack weight.
