Big Agnes Buffalo Park Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic

Big Agnes Buffalo Park Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Synthetic description

Big Agnes made the Buffalo Park Sleeping Bag for big and tall guys and those who just like a lot of room to toss and turn. The Buffalo Park features a wide toebox and extra girth around shoulders and hips. This 40-degree bag features synthetic insulation that retains warmth even when wet and makes this bag an economical choice. As with all Big Agnes sleeping bags, a sleeve on the Buffalo Park's bottom holds your sleeping pad. You'll need Big Agnes' 25-inch-wide rectangular pad to line this bag's floor.

Recently bought the Big Agnes Buffalo Park bag for a two week trip into the Canadian Rockies and Western US. Already owned a BA insulated air mattress and got the Buffalo Park as the built in pad pocket makes such great sense.Although the Buffalo Park bag does not loft nearly as much as another 40 degree bag I own, it is quite warm in temps down to 32 degrees. Part of that may be down to the "comfort" factor associated with the cotton blend lining in the bag. At 6'2", with a 48inch chest, the amount of space is downright luxurious and the attached pillow pocket a welcome addition. Having the sleeping pad as "part" of the bag is really great - wish I would have done this much sooner.As for any negatives, there are few. On the "niggles" list, the zipper on my bag does not function as smoothly as the Marmot and TNF bags we own. I would also wish the cotton blend liner was a higher thread count - it's rather coarse and therefore "grabs" whatever you're sleeping in whenever you rollover or move about. Not a big deal, but would have added to the perceived value and comfort in my opinion. Finally, although the Backcountry write-up states you get both a stuff and a storage sack with the bag, it comes with just a stuff sack. Again, not a big deal, but not up to the expectation set.All in all, I'm pleased with this purchase and would recommend the Buffalo Park bag. Chalk up another in the "plus" column for Big Agnes.
