Big Agnes - Sleepy Bear 35 Degree Doublewide

Gf and I currently use a Big Agnes Sleepy Bear 35 which is a double wide sleeping bag and for our pad we use the Big Agnes Divide Insulated double wide pad. We love this combo for how comfortable it is and how it kept us warm down to an exact 35 degree night. Definitely recommend the sleeping pad. The bag is also great but discontinued. I see the current equivalent is the Dream Island which seems to be an improved version.

Big Agnes has a double bag just like you describe. I have a down one and it’s great

We use BAs double wide bags attached to Expeds air mats and the system is incredible. All the benefits of a bag (no drafts etc). With the weight benefits of a quilt. Genius designs.

you're the perfect candidate for a sleep system. changed my life in the back country. I have a Big Agnes bag with a full length pad sleeve. find a pad that fits the sleeve and be amazed. the only downside is these bags don't have any insulation on the bottom, but not a big deal. I just unzip the bag and use it as a blanket when I don't need the full setup.

I went big Agnes - wide bags with pad sleeves

We have one of these from Big Agnes. Works pretty well, although when my daughter got big enough, she could roll the whole mat over. I think it's this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InhGM1Y2ksM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InhGM1Y2ksM)

If your biggest concern about a sleeping bag is room for your legs to move without feeling constricted, I would try out Nemo or Big Agnes sleeping bags. Both tend to have wider profiles. Definitely go for a bag that is rated at least 10 degrees lower - preferably lower - than the temps you expect to sleep in. Theres multiple problems with layering with clothing like this, one of which is not the warmth specific factor but the breathability. One or two layers is one thing, but with all the listed clothing and then something like the picture on top, you’re going to build up humidity near your body you can’t get rid of, and you’ll become even colder. Next, a sleeping bag basically creates a warm pocket of air around you. The insulation in the bag helps create and maintain this pocket. The more compressed this insulation, the worse it performs. With layering clothing, you compress the insulation, making it less effective. On top of that, insulation is minimal if not nonexistent at the seams. Some puffy jackets and “extreme temp” clothing gets around this by minimizing seams but there’s almost always a few somewhere, which means no air pockets and no warmth. If I could recommend the best case scenario for you, it would be this: find a sleeping bag you can tolerate rated to a temp appropriate for your conditions, 15F at a minimum, best scenario a 0F. Dress in only your smartwool layers, and make sure you have a good pad/sleep set up underneath you.

A Big Agnes sleeping bag with down that fit me correctly. I was iffy on the price at first, but it turns out I had basically used ill fitting, non insulated sleeping bags for years of wilderness camping. Getting a good nights sleep anywhere, especially away from home, makes a huge difference.

I got a big Agnes bag that has an extra zipper kind of like carry-on luggage. Makes it somewhat adjustable - roomy most of the time but when I really need the warmth it’s more snug.

Just wanna say I respect the lack of overpriced fancy gear and I respect making it work for as long as you did! As much as I am “anti gear, pro getting out there”, a lightweight Big Agnes sleeping bag will roll up to about 1/8th the size of a rolled up Coleman. Mine has lasted me for 7 seasons so far no problems
