Details
Ultra light fanatics, listen up: The Big Agnes Pitchpine SL Sleeping Bag is the lightest-weight bag that Big Agnes makes. This 40-degree down bag weighs just a hint more than a pound and compresses smaller than a bread loaf. Big Agnes used 800-fill down, super lightweight Toray shell fabric, and quilt construction to create such an airy bag. A water-repellent finish on the Pitchpine means you can sleep under the stars and not worry about light precip. A sleeve holds your Big Agnes mummy-shaped pad so you dont wake up lying next to your pad instead of on it. * Note: Dont opt to cut more weight by leaving your pad at home when you use this bagthe pad replaces insulation on the bags bottom.

Lightweight Sleeping Bags Checklist
 |
Sure It's Warm Enough? Lightweight
bags are meant for use in weather between 30-50 degrees. But, remember,
it's always prudent to add on at least 10 degrees to the bags rating.
Thus, a bag rated to 40 degrees might only keep you warm in 50 degree
weather. |
|
Down or Synthetic? Each
have their advantages. Down is less bulky and weighs a few ounces
less. Synthetic costs less (usually) and is easier to dry - you can
just toss it in the dryer. |
|
Don't Forget the Sleeping Pad! A
sleeping bag is useless without a sleeping
pad. So,
if you don't already have a sleeping pad, get one. For lightweight
sleeping bags (thus used in warm weather), you don't need a super
thick or winter-style one. |
|
Ideal Uses for a Lightweight Bag. Where
you know...for sure...that the temperature will stay at least 10-15
degrees above the sleeping bags rating. And, where every ounce and
cubic inch of space is at a premium. Lightweight bags are often
used by climbers and bike campers/travelers. For backpacking in the
mountains, a lightweight bag is NOT recommended! |
