Big Agnes Cross Mountain Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic

Big Agnes Cross Mountain Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic description

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 Mountain's bottom holds your sleeping pad in place so you don't roll off your sleeping pad in the middle of the night. Use any of Big Agnes' 20in wide rectangular pads with this synthetic bag.

OK, as much as I wanted to give BA a 5 rating, I can't based on use with a cot. I was camping in Eagle Cave, WI with the scouts...52 degrees and a very muddy floor...thus the reason for the cot. First night I got cold and had to slip on some extra clothes...not a big deal, but I was hoping the 40 degree bag would keep me warm at 50 degrees, even off the ground.

I pair this bag with a regular size therm-a-rest. Talk about a winning combination! I stay nice a toasty even with frost on the ground! I pack my pad separate from the bag, which allows the bag to compress into a small size Granite Gear Round Rock Solid Compression Sack. I love this bag!

I love this bag! I needed a warm weather bag, my -40 bag sucks in anything but cold weather, and the Big Agnes Cross Mountain is perfect! Their system of sliding your pad into it's own little pouch is genius. I'm a burly guy, and mummy bags and I have never gotten along. But this bag's plenty roomy, and with the pad attached, you NEVER slip off it. Genius. Top notch bag!
