Zenbivy - Core Bed (XL, 25° Synthetic)

I’ll be the dissenter - I hated my Nemo Forte 20 (W’s long). We’re the same height and around the same weight and I found it too narrow in the shoulders and despite the spoon shape, I could not rotisserie comfortably. I didn’t find it warm, either, and experienced huge cold spots down the side opposite the zipper on a 35° night. I replaced it on a whim with a Zenbivy core bed and love it. The sheet keeps the quilt in place while I spin and the pillow pocket lets me throw my arms up while keeping them covered. The quilt is wide at the top and can tuck around me like a regular comforter. Super warm too.

I have a feathered friends flicker 30 degree and lark 10 degree. Those cover all my bases. I do have a zen bivy 25 which is nice but heavier.

I purchased a 25° Zenbivy setup during their last sale. I like how their setup does it a little differently but it’s slightly more of a cost. Their air mattress is highly rated and everyone says great things about how their quilt/sheet setup gives you the closest to an at home sleep. For me the price was worth getting the best night sleep. There’s also enlightened equipment or katabic who make quality quilts. Sleeping/mummy bags are really designed for back sleepers, side/stomach sleepers have a better time in a quilt and you’re saving some weight. Just make sure your pad is insulated appropriately. Not a bad idea to check out the thru hikers survey for Appalachian trail or PCT trail to see what people are using. Browse around /r/ultralight , /r/geartrade , or /r/ultralightgeartrade as well.

Expensive but I got my setup on sale. Love my Zenbivy setup paired with ear plugs. For me I can just move around more in my Zenbivy and it feels like how it would sleeping at home. I wouldn’t pay full price for everything but their bundle sales are a great value.

Any thermarest bag is a good start and I've just tried out the ZenBivy and so far absolutely love it. Would also say that a good sleeping mat goes a long way to keep you warm. You could have the best bag for the cold but a weak mat can undo all the work of a good bag!

I have a zenbivy and I love it. Don’t know what their lowest temp rated bag is though

Agreed. As a thrashing side sleeper this bag has been a godsend. It’s super versatile

I have a disco and its pretty good used it like a quilt so often I ended up going for a quilt, Specifically a zenbivy, its also good, I set it up with one side fixed to the sheet and the other mostly free. Like sleeping in a bed.

I had a SD Cloud 20 and that was hard enough to wriggle in and out of, I can imagine these being much worse and would probably feel claustrophobic. This is why I think the Zenbivy system excels- no draughts, freedom of a quilt etc. problem is the ultralight bed is very expensive and the light bed fairly heavy for this sub.

Zenbivy - best of both worlds! I have the 10f and 25f light beds and they're super comfortable.

Zenbivy is the best of both worlds. Most comfortable camp sleep system ever IMO.

They’re constrictive and you get twisted up inside the lining if you move in your sleep. Zenbivy came up with the solution to this and other problems.

if you're worried about being cramped maybe try the [zenbivy](http:// https://share.google/tGLl4cDuNv4Fhm4ng)?

Zenbivy. Especially if you’re anything but a back sleeper.

I regret the money I spent on my Zenbivy, I get so cold in it.
