Big Agnes Cross Mountain Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic


Product Details

The 40F Big Agnes Cross Mountain sleeping bag is super lightweight and highly compressible. Big Agnes made the Cross Mountain to work as a warm-weather summer bag or as an over bag that adds approximately 25 degrees to any three-season bag for comfortable winter camping. Just put your three-season bag inside the Cross Mountain. A water-repellent outer shell fabric sheds moisture to keep the inside bag dry, which is ideal for winter conditions. A sleeve in the Cross Mountains bottom holds your sleeping pad in place so you dont roll off your sleeping pad in the middle of the night. Use any of Big Agnes 20in wide rectangular pads with this synthetic bag.

Price : $ 124.95

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!
