Reviewed by jakshuntingagain. from North Alabama on Monday, November 12, 2012Bought the large/long version to replace bulky rectang-bag on Alaska Caribou hunt. Fly-ins in small bush planes with limited space - while goose down bags are smaller and lighter, Alaska is wet - so I wanted a synthetic. Lack of bottom insulation make a relatively small package with the right compression sack. No extra bag for the pad - rolled it inside the bag. Nice package. Outfitter provided cots with mesh fabric - there was a slight draft along the edges of the pad the first night. I draped one of the small emergency blankets over the cot, added a doubled up "airline" fleece blanket over the emergency blanket and found the bag very comfortable for the remainder of the trip. At 6'0", 215 lbs, I was able to move around inside the XL bag and sleep in different positions even though the bag must stay oriented top and bottom. We filled our tags, called the pilots to come get us and broke camp, packing everything up except one of the two 6-man tents. But the weather turned bad and all 4 in our party wound up sleeping on the ground in one of the 6-man tents for the next 2 days. The pad is pretty thin, so sleeping on the rocky ground required some adjustments to avoid larger stones, but it was very warm with no air circlulation from beneath - and I was the only member in our group that wasn't rolling or sliding off their pad. This is the best bag I can imagine for my use. I guess it's probably too big for a backpacking bag - but if you're stranded in the tundra - this bag will keep you warm in high winds and cold temps. I'll use on my next trip. This equipment performed very well - inspite of one small issue with the zipper hanging up. Wind: None to 60+ max Temp: Min 18 to Max 40 (F) at night Sleep clothing: Wool wader socks, fleece wader pants, loose synthetic underwear top, lightweight fleece vest, thin smart wool skull cap.

Reviewed by Motorcycle Camper from Pinckney, MI on Sunday, June 10, 2012Lack of insulation in back requires that air mattress or pad be used in sleeve for warmth. Air mattress in sleeve restricts you to sleeping on back only. Have to roll off pad if you want to sleep on your side. If you rotate in bag to sleep on side, you can't use hood. Mattress in sleeve keeps the hood from closing snugly around head. Mattress in sleeve makes for a "bell shape curve" with colder spots at the perimeter of the mattress. You can't tuck in the dead air spaces for warmth.

Reviewed by lynnie from Palm Bay, FL on Sunday, January 29, 2012Great bag and pad. Plenty of room and perfect length. Only problem is it does not roll up small enough to go in your back pack.

Reviewed by Markus from Southern California on Monday, November 21, 2011I bought the XL for myself, used it for a year, and then bought the regular sized one for my wife. Big enough for me to roll over and be comfortable in a mummy-shaped bag.

Ask a Question-
Question “Is the Fits to: 5'6" correct? Seems like an odd size since the pad is 72".”
-
Answer The Fits to should be 6'.
-
-
Question “What side is the zipper located?”
-
Answer The zipper is on the left side.
-
-
Question “Is the sleeping pad self inflating?”
-
Answer It is not a self inflating pad.
-
-
Question “I sleep with my knees bent which is impossible in a mummy bag unless I unzip it. What is the mid width of this bag? Is it really like a rectangular? Is the tall any wider?”
-
Answer The width is 35" and the bag does have a slight tapper towards the feet. I hope this helps.
-
-
Question “Is the pad part of the bag or is it separate? One review mentions the bag having a pocket for the pad - what does this mean? Does it comes with a stuff sack that will accommodate both pad and bag? Please elaborate on description as much as possible.”
-
Answer The sleeping bag and ground are sold together, but they are separate products . The sleeping bag has a nylon pocket on the back that the ground pad slips into, ultimately joining the two together when being used. The sleeping bag comes with a stuff sack, the pad does not. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'll be happy to answer them!
-
-
Question “Not really a question but a comment: A reviewer notes that they wish this bag had fill between the bag and the pad - The whole idea of the Big Agnes design is eliminating unnecessary weight by using an appropriate pad instead of using the pad AND insulation that will become useless by being compressed between your body-weight and the pad. If the pad isn't keeping you warm enough consider getting an insulated pad from BA or mixing with an EXPED pad.”
-
Question “how far down does it unzip?”
-
Answer This bag has a 3/4 zip.
-
-
Question “WHAT IS THE FIFFERENCE IN WARMTH FROM A DOWN SLEEPING BAG?”
-
Answer Sleeping bags list their warmth rating as all types under go the same testing. Down will be less bulky but will be just as warm if rated the same temperature. The less bulk the easier it is to pack and compress down for backpacking.
