Comments about Big Agnes Summit Park +15 Sleeping Bag - Long:
I'ved used this bag at/ near the snowline, (very warm) 'roomy' inside, (I roll around) NO pad issues, (sleeve method works) Packs small for a 'large bag' (bigger than mummys) 'Drawbacks', not too important, your camp chair pad needs to be clean enough to slip inside, Can't bend my knees up, as the bag is attached to the pad

Comments about Big Agnes Summit Park +15 Sleeping Bag - Long:
First off I have to say that I absolutely love the concept of these park series bags from Big Agnes, and I think with a little work they would have a winner. They are extremely roomy, which is paramount for me as I just can't get comfy in a mummy bag, and the Summit Park is light enough to pack. But the 15 degree rating on this thing is WAY over rated.
I have now spent several nights in cold weather in this bag down to the mid 20's. Have tried multiple pads with this bag. Two inflatables and a prolite 4. The last 2 nights with an Exped Synmat 9 Deluxe rated at R-6 and approx 0 degrees. With it, a full fleece liner and a layer of Capilene 4 I was just barely comfortable on cold ground surrounded by snow with temps about 25.
The down in the bag seems to work it's way towards the edges more than it should. BA says that they have corrected this with a different baffle design but I have the new design and it hasn't. There needs to be more down over the top of the body and not around the sides. Seems that in a race to produce the lightest that they gave up on comfort. I would gladly pack another 8 oz of down that stayed in place in this thing in exchange for comfort.
Oh, and the zipper ALWAYS gets hung up.
I have spoken with BA and they are great to work with, but even they suggested a liner or heavier insulated pad. Which I already have. They also gave me the name of a company that can do alterations and add more down. What would you bet they have had this complaint before.
These companies really should be held accountable for putting out these ratings hence the 2 stars. This is a 35 degree or better bag and if it would have been advertised as such, with a good zipper, it would be 5 stars. I am using this with equipment that is designed for colder weather. We should not have to go to extremes to make their rating work. There is only one other warmer pad that I am aware of and that is the Exped 9 Deluxe Downmat with an R-8 rating. I may get one, or I may just not camp in 25 degree weather any more.
Can some one please produce a true cold weather bag 0 degrees or so that is roomy, packable and comfortable?

Comments about Big Agnes Summit Park +15 Sleeping Bag - Long:
We all know the song, "These are a few of my favorite things." Well, in my version, I pulled out the bright copper kettles and replaced it with a Big Agnes Summit Park bag! It's not light... My setup including the inflatable Big Agnes Insulated Air Core pad tips the scales at just under 6 lbs! Now, if you're one of those young hikers who cuts the handle off of your toothbrush, you probably just did a spit take with your cappuccino! Yea, I used to do that too... Anyway, I'm getting older and have a new priority. Comfort. When I was ready for a new bag, I moved the weight of my luxury items out of my pack, and went looking for the cushiest sleeping setup I could find. I believe I found it with the Summit Park. I should let you know, this is a big guys bag. I'm 6'1", 225 and love the extra room. It has an 80.5" girth at the shoulders and plenty of leg room as well. Keep in mind this bag has to be matched up with a wider (78" x 25") pad. Yea, I know, more room to heat, but I no longer have dreams I'm rolled up in a rug in a Turkish prison. With the Big Agnes 650 goose down fill, I now sleep like a baby... all night. Something I was never able to do before.
