Big Agnes Crystal Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree PrimaLoft/Down

Big Agnes Crystal Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree PrimaLoft/Down description

The Big Agnes Crystal 30-Degree Sleeping Bag features Dualmax construction, a combination of 650-fill down and PrimaLoft eco insulation, which makes it lightweight and warm even when wet. The unique combination of insulating materials in the Crystal Sleeping Bag is ideal for rainy-weather camping. Plus, this year the PrimaLoft comes from 50% recycled materials and thus diverted a few plastic bottles from the landfill. Like all Big Agnes sleeping bags, the Crystal has insulation only on the top and sides and has an integrated sleeping-pad sleeve on the bottom to hold your pad in place. *Compatible with 20in-wide Big Agnes rectangular pads.

Bottom Line: The Big Agnes Crystal sleeping bag provides the best of down and synthetic insulation.

This is an incredible bag for the price. The mix of down and primaloft keeps you warm, dries out quickly, and gives you that comfort of down loft that other synthetic bags lack. The outer shell is very durable and stands up to a ton of abuse. You'll definitely need to get a pad for this one. Big agnes doesn't insulate the bottom of their bags because they have a sleeve for a pad to go there. They do this because insulation on the bottom of a bag is severely reduced when you lay on top of it and really isn't necessary. You also can't roll off your sleeping pad which is the biggest pro in my book. I would recommend the Big agnes insulated REM pad. This adds insulation the bottom of the bag and insures that the cold ground won't get to you.

I like the room that this bag has in it. When I use my un-insulated air core mat though a lot of heat is lost and I find my self getting cold easily even in the low 40s. When I use a regular foam mat I have no problems at all staying warm. It also will zip together with a Marmot bag. I would definitely buy this bag again. Packs down to a decent size. It's a little heavier than my 15 deg down bag but The synthetic is nice to have since I will mostly be using it in wetter areas.
