Just got this bag for cold weather camping. Its a -20 oversize mummy bag. Actually it called a long wide cut bag for bigger and taller people. Or for someone who simply wants the extra girth.

This bag requires one of Big Agnes's insulated inflatable mattress pads. The mattress is 25" wide and 78" long. Infated its 2 1/2" thick. Im a big guy and I don't bottom out on this pad. The pad slides into its own pocket on the bottomside of the bag. You don't slip off the mattress/pad. This is a bag you roll over in rather than rolling over with the bag.

Haven't really had a chance to use it. Next months ADV riders WARP II event up at the Kern River Ca. will be it first actual camp trip. On the floor in front of the TV doesn't count.

Got the bag and mattress at REI. It was a speacial order as they don't keep it in store. Had it in 3-4 day's if I remember right.

below is one of the accessories available for the bag.:D

Wedgie Bag Expander
Give your bag a wedgie. Zip the Big Agnes Wedgie into your sleeping bag and add 7" of girthly comfort. Filled with PrimaLoft Sport insulation. The 70" works with our bags with 70? zippers as well as most bags on the market. The 60" works with our bags with 60" zippers. 60" weighs 6oz, 70" weighs 7oz.

This is the bag I took with me on my Alaska trip and it was great. The mattress and pillow roll up into one bundle I stuffed into a waterproof bag and strapped to my saddlebag lid. A bit bulky, but comfortable sleeping until I returned to the lower 48 and the temperatres got above 60 at night.

I used my Big Agnes Summit Park on the TAT and I loved it.:)
The Park series bags are the most comfortable sleeping I have ever had while camping.

I have the Encampment and the air mattress pad is great! What a great idea they had. I also like the pillow. I've never found one before that really worked for me until I found this one. They have a great product.
