Has anyone owned and/or used a Big Agnes sleeping bag system? They seem to
be on to the "pad only underneath" idea of the quilt and pad idea. Their mummy
design bags have a standard design top with a sleeve underneath that takes a
pad and no other insulation. Their Zirkel bag long is only 2 lbs, 5 oz. rated
at 20 degrees using 775 down. Their lightest pad to go with it is 19 oz. (but
a home cut closed cell would be lighter for you minimalists).
They are expensive but interesting design. You sew-it-yourselfers ought to
be able to make a lighter weight-cheaper version with most of the features. I
need one to fit a person 81 inches long!
