04/30/2012 02:00PM If your looking to slip your bag into another Big Agnes makes the Park series bags. They are pretty big and would work if that's what you were thinking. Remember BA bags in that series doesn't have any insulation on the bottom, a exped dlx pad or another pad will slip into the 25" sleeve. JB |

04/30/2012 12:12PM Richardson, Wainwright or Greely? I tried like hell to get them to PCS me to Richardson when my 3 years in Germany were up. Didn't work out, so I got out. 16 years later I'm freezing in the desert in Afghanistan. Go figure. |

04/30/2012 08:31AM I used the older one, the woodland camo pattern, don't know if that had anything to do with the difference. But I was stationed in Alaska, and never got cold using mine. |

04/30/2012 07:48AMquote Les Ismore: "The US Army modular sleep system is a great bag. It's comprised of 2 mummy bags that nest one inside the other with a Gortex outer bag. I've slept in one, without a tent, in a hole in the snow at -30 degrees, Fahrenheit, and stayed nice and warm. For nights when it's not as cold, you can use just one bag. You can get them at any military surplus store or online. I've seen them online for as little as $75. Here's a link to show what I'm talking about, though it's not a great price.  I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I can't begin to tell you how cold I was in this picture. I will admit that I didn't have my Exped, merely an Army issue ISO pad. |

04/28/2012 08:07PM I have a North Face Snowshoe 0 degree bag. I haven't tested it anywhere near zero, but it has kept me warm on a few late September nights in Wisconsin. |

04/27/2012 08:41PM There's been some Alps Mountaineering Crescent Lake 0 degree bags on SteepAndCheap recently for $50. I haven't had an Alps sleeping bag before but I can say that they're tents and backpacks are generally very good quality. If you watch SAC for awhile they'll probably pop up again. |

04/27/2012 08:19PM Hi all! We are looking for suggestions for a 0 degree synthetic sleeping bag that can be used as an outer layer in a two bag winter sleep system. We would also use it occasionally in the spring and fall if it looks like it could be a colder trip. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! |
