When Big Agnes wants to snuggle, there’s no point in arguing. Just let her ensconce you in PrimaLoft SB and get ready for a warmth-to- weight ratio you’ve never known before.
Weighing in at 2 pounds, 13 ounces, the Savery SL 20-degree Sleeping Bag (MSRP: $190) is one of three new Big Agnes Divide SL Series bags to make use of the innovative synthetic PrimaLoft fill in 2008 (the others rate at zero and 35 degrees). The mummy bag compresses to a mere 8 inches by 9 inches, yet still offers the warmth, softness, durability and water resistance that campers depend on for overnights in the wild, plus a few creature comforts like a built-in pillow pocket.
Combine it with the semi self-inflating Dual Core Sleeping Pad (MSRP: $100), designed to fit perfectly in its own integrated sleeve and never roll off your sleeping pad again. The 2 1/2-inch double-insulated air chamber pad provides insulation beneath the bag through a blend of air and foam cores in a full-length pad that’s still small and light enough for backpacking.
