Core Bed (XL, 25° Synthetic)

+3 for Zenbivy. I am rotisserie chimkin. I will say - I started out with a Nemo Forte spoon-shaped bag and it did not work for me. It was still too narrow to rotate, and I got suffocated by the draft collar thing all the time. If you have access to an REI or similar, test the Nemo out in store. An alternative might be to buy a Zenbivy sheet and the adhesive clips to pair with a quilt that might be more affordable in Canada.

I have the core quilt with clips. They work just fine, but If I had to do it over, I would probably get the zipper, because it seems easier to dial-in and because the clips can be a bit finicky in the dark and when my fingers are cold, stiff or numb (carpal tunnel problems).

I love my zenbivy set up...but that is a lot of $$, esp just starting out. I have the more basic zipper version I got on sale. Then added a big agnes wide and long rapide SL. Combined with a larger drift pillow (chopped memory foam) from klymit. Heavier and bulkier but cheaper and I'd say more comfy than this bundle is.

Yep I have the zenbivy core bed and nemo tensor pad and love it. I've always found sleeping bags restrictive.

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.

Zenbivy makes nice options for a couples mat and sleeping bag. I haven’t tried the couple one but I love my hiking quilt and sheet that I have from them. Their system stays clipped in so that when you turn over your quilt stays put and does not get draughts. Best sleep I’ve had when hiking

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!

Seconding this. I've had mine for years and have never felt confined or cold.
