Good feature But must be aware that there is no insulation on the bottom. You are expected to use an air mattress on all occasions.
I am 5'9", 190 lbs, and bought the wide, long version. I sleep on my side and roll around in my sleep. I used a 30" pad, and the bag didn't bunch up or move off the pad while I slept. This bag is roomy, warm, and comfortable.
Probably the moet comfortable sleeping bag I've ever owned. Its just wide enough for comfort, back, stomach, and side sleepers, while also keeping the perfect temperature throught the night. Adjustable elastic wiring built in to provide a tighter fit around head and across shoulders depending on your preference. If needed, the zippers on both sides provide breathability and a way to stay cool during warmer nights. The pillow and pad accompanying provide the max of comfort, while also being lightweight. Definitely not a backpacking bag size wise but lightweight enough you could adapt it. Super easy packing and unpacking and adaptable storage. I'd definitely recommend it to any casual/serious camper, tenter, or short overnight hiker.
I used this sleeping bags 2 nights during a cabin trip with temperatures below 20. I was cold during the whole trip, except while sleeping. I was worried about the back not being insulated, but it wasn’t a problem for now. I do appreciate the pillow slot and the system to tie it to the sleeping pad. My boyfriend’s dog chose to sleep with me, and we were both cozy and warm all night. I’m a plus size women, and had enough room to toss and turn around, and zip up with dog laying next to me. It is bulky and heavy. I purchased a compression sack, but still had to tie it outside my backpack, to fit everything else. But totally worth it. But it’s probably not a great choice for a regular backpacking trip. We didn’t have to carry a tent or sleeping pads, for example.
Absolutely love this bag. It's super warm and the XL sizing makes for a super comfy nights sleep, almost as good as your bed at home! Was a HUGE fan of the previous Diamond Park and Echo Park bags and this version/update is a nice continuation. HOWEVER my only gripe was that BA didn't keep the full zip off feature from the Diamond/Echo Park bags. That was a great feature to make the bag super versatile and I REALLY wish they had kept it. Had they kept the zip off feature this would be the absolute most perfect bag!
Great bag, but know what you're getting. This is not a ruck or backpacking bag at all, it's huge! That said, for winter camping in a camper, wall tent, or on an air mattress in your aunt's frigid basement, it's perfect! Super comfortable, easy to stretch out in, and lots of little thoughts here and there that are awesome (dual side zip, SOFT cuff, pocket for phone). As long as you're looking for car/stationary camping, this one is a winner!
the bag is huge! I have rough sleeps in the regular mummy sleeping bags (I just like to move when sleeping), but there is so much room in this bag, space has not been a problem. The bag compresses down surprisingly small for a synthetic bag so it's been handi for multi day trips! The pillow holder and mattress holders are a little extra, they don't work super well with my non big agnes sleeping pad but they can be DIY removed.
Perfect to pair with an insulated sleep pad for a very comfortable and cozy sleep experience in a wide array of weather. Packs down quite compact and was fit easily into a small dry bag. Would recommend for cooler nights, It may prove too hot on warm evenings. A bit heavy for a lightweight backpacking setup, but perfect for weekend getaways. Also available in a 20 degree for a lighter even more versatile setup.
I use this bag for one month long car camping trip in the winter. It was cold at 15 to 20°. Of the 11 sleeping bags I own this is the only one that is so far off. It’s temperature and comfort rating. Without either my electric blanket or the extra sleeping bag that I used on top of it, I would’ve been freezing the entire trip. This is the only big Agnes product I own that is not worthy of their name.
