For you bigger guys looking for a bag, try this bag.
http://www.campmor.com/kelty-mist...arge.shtml Its extra long and extra wide. I'm 6'3" and 275, and most mummy bags just don't have the room needed. |

Overall - seems like a great value bag for car camping. Currently selling for ~$70 at other retailers. <a href=http://download.cnet.com/Free-Youtube-Downloader-Pro/3000-2071_4-75329731.html >youtube downloader</a> |

You are in a good tent You are on a good sleeping pad Sleeping pad is 3/4" or thicker You are wearing long underwear You are in good shape You actually fit your bag properly Your body runs warm/cold etc lots of variations in how bags are rated. best bet is to get something warmer or to actually try some bags before buying. |

Im 6' i use a 6'6" bag for the summer spring where warmth is not an issue and comfort is. During winter/cold camping i use a 6' bag. There is some stretch. |

Car camping and space weight not an issue? Get a 15/20 degree synthetic fill bag and back some blankets. Backpacking - space and weight an issue: You probably have to get a down 0 degree. Good luck finding sub 100$ (maybe used) You may find a synthetic 0 degree but it will weigh more and not as compact |

Does anyone know how this holds up to the ALPS sleeping bag offered on Sierra Trading Post (for about 40ish?)?

It's sad when somebody posts about things they just don't understand at all. REI is great about EN ratings, so is Mountain Hardware and a lot of other brands that REI sells (which was pointed out, except you disagreed for some ridiculous reason) http://sectionhiker.com/decipheri...e-ratings/ If REI says 26 degrees with nothing but long johns and a 1" pad, put on some socks and sleep in a tent, and you can be reasonably sure it'll be fine in 20 degrees. Besides, if not, take it back with no questions. |

So here's the deal (according to the Mountain Hardwear customer service rep):
Hope this helps. Last edited by dougneb; 01-16-2013 at 11:43 AM.. |
