King Solomon 20 ° Doublewide

This is for 2 people yes? Big Agnes King Solomon 20 degree + Big Agnes Rapide SL tent floor pad (the one that’s 78” x 50”). And you add an ultralight quilt and/or individual bag liners to the system when temps are actually 20. I sleep colder than my partner so I’m the one who adds a down quilt — he is comfortable in a 20 degree bag at 20 degrees; I am not, even when we’re sharing.

I just went through and looked at double sleeping bags. I just bought the King Solomon 20F. I do some car camping but wanted something lightweight for backpacking and it was less than 4 lbs. I found it on sale for $375. I’ve only spent two nights in it but so far I’m happy. Some of the other sleeping bags were 8 or 9 lbs and that was significantly heavier than I wanted to carry.

It does. My wife is generally a side sleeper and I thrash around a lot and we found it roomy enough. It doesn’t have any insulation on the underside. It relies on your ground pad to provide the insulation. I was a little concerned about that aspect but it worked great. Your ground pad “connects” to the sleeping bag to keep it from sliding off. I will be using it on a 20F and a colder night just to see how it performs. Big Agnes lists it for $499 on their website. That’s a lot of money and I doubt I would have paid that much. I searched on eBay and found a couple of new ones in the original packaging for $375.

We used to have a Big Agnes King Solomon... Worked great. But we have individual top quilts now, and they work better. Either together or separate or as a blanket around camp...

Keep an eye on geartrade.com. My husband and I recently got a synthetic 2 person big Agnes Cabin Creek sleep system for $175! It was in excellent condition but an older model. For more money than your budget, try the down Big Agnes King Solomon (on mega sale like today!) For less money than that one, but more weight, try the synthetic Big Agnes Dream Island. There’s also the Zenbivy beds but they’re pretty expensive and a bit heavy.

Big Agnes king Solomon. Been using one for years. With 2 20” pads it makes a super tight fit. Warm, light and worth every cozy night. Backpacked 30 miles with it no problem.

Yep we have a Big Agnes double as well as two colder weather bags that zip together. Different tools for different applications. When it is super cold a single will be much warmer-especially if one of you sleeps hot and the other is always freezing. My hubby gets claustrophobic if he’s too warm at night so on more temperate trips the BA double allows him to unzip his side so he can ventilate without freezing me

We have a Big Agnes one from 15 years ago and we like it! Just make sure your pads will work with the bag. Ours has sleeves for the pads to fit into, but we upgraded our pads and they no longer fit. Might move to a hiking quilt or something in the future.
