Big Agnes Encampment 15 Degree Sleeping Bag

Spend a night with Big Agnes and you'll look forward to sleeping in the backcountry. The men's Big Agnes Encampment 15 Degree Sleeping Bag System is different than the traditional sleeping bag on top of a sleeping pad. Instead, Big Agnes unites the two. The pad (not included) slides into an integrated sleeve on the bottom of the bag, and the top two-thirds of the bag is insulated in the traditional style. When insulation material is compressed under your body, it loses most of its ability to insulate. Big A. eliminates the unnecessary bottom insulation and replace it with a sleeve to accommodate the pad which provides the insulation. This design provides a secure foundation and keeps you on the pad all night. With Climashield HL insulation, this rectangular shape design offers more room in foot box and shoulders.

Great Bag !
I was told these were the bags to get and man am I glad I did. I am a hot sleeper so I wasn't certain about the 15 degree raiting on this puppy but man o man was it great. Well insulated and very comfortable. Way more shoulder/hip and leg room than your typical mummy bag. Inserts for pillow and sleeping pad make for less slipping and sliding at night. Nice storage bag as well. My only dissapointment is that the bag doesn't come with a girdle or compression straps for the compression sack. Overall great bag though!
