Big Agnes - A Notch Above!

Whether you are using it to survive a cold stormy night on the mountain or a warm balmy night in the woods, your sleeping bag can either make or break your camping trip.

Backpacker has spent countless nights sleeping in them and testing them so that you can sleep with ease. Here is their ‘A’ list pick of great down filled sleeping bags for your Summer backpacking adventures.

Big Agnes Pitchpine – Backpacker’s Top Ultrlaight pick – Weight – 708 grams, Rating – 40 F, Insulation – 800 fill goose down.

Sierra Designs Nitro – Backpacker’s Best All Around pick – Weight – 737 grams, Rating – 30 F, Insulation – 800 fill goose down.

Kelty Coromell – Backpacker’s Bargain pick – Weight – 1332 grams, Rating – 25 F, Insulation – 650 fill goose down.

You can probably stretch a couple of these into three season sleeping bags and if you add a sleeping bag liner you can gain another 5 to 10 degrees of warmth.
