Big Agnes sleeping bags

[Alpine_Tom]

Does anyone have any experience with these? Backpacker magazine gave good reviews to them, fairly roomy (I need) and light weight for their 20-degree down bag.

I have the 40 degree down and synthetic fill overbag combo and it works really good. For the summertime I only use the down part.

 

The sleeping pad is so important with this system. I used a blue ensolite pad and was pretty cold. A descent thermarest is great but going too light on the pad will mean a cold night. Also the pad must be shaped to fit inside the bag. (no rectangular pads)

 

Don't use the air core pad they offer. The one that you blow up with no foam inside is light but worthless for staying warm. Who would have thought a littel foam inside makes it work so well?

 

Very roomy and good for stomach sleepers.

While I do not have experience with this bag I would recommend you do some research on the BA bag and pad combo. I hear it works very well except for side sleepers. I decided to pass on it myself because I am a side/stomach sleeper.
