REI Co-op - Trail Pod 29 Sleeping Bag

honestly dude, been there with the whole xl + lightweight + budget thing. from running my shop, ive seen tons of folks struggle with this exact combo you know. few solid options that wont break the bank - kelty cosmic down 20 comes in long/wide and packs down decent for the price. rei co-op trail pod 29 is another good bet, little heavier but super roomy and usually on sale. for 3 miles in nj temps, id lean toward the 30-degree range unless youre camping late fall. learned the hard way that going too warm just means ya carry extra weight for nothing lol. honestly the quilts someone mentioned are great too if youre open to trying something different. enlightened equipment makes tall/wide options and theyre game changers for bigger folks who move around at night.

The REI brand ones are nice (and true to the temps they say they are good for). I have an REI three season single, and have used it to just below freezing with no problems.

I would definitely recommend a warmer bag, especially if you are in Canada, like maybe 20-30 degrees. I have a mummy bag but it's a bit oversized (REI) so I can move around a bit more.
