Big Agnes Encampment Sleeping Bag 15 Degree Polarguard Delta
The Big Agnes Encampment is a 3-season, shingle construction Polarguard Delta fill sleeping bag that will keep you warm down to 15F . The synthetic insulation in the Big Agnes Encampment is ideal for wet climates and conditions. For 2004, the Encampment test warmer than its temperature rating, meaning you could sleep comfortably down to about 10 degrees. Big Agnes makes sleeping bags without insulation on the bottom of the bag because down and synthetic insulation compressed by your weight loses virtually all of its insulating value. Instead, Big Agnes puts a sleeve in the bag floor into which you slide your sleeping pad, and the top 2/3 of the bag is insulated like a traditional sleeping bag. This system offers several major advantages: 1. An air or foam mattress provides more warmth than compressed insulation. 2. Youre guaranteed never to roll off your sleeping pad in the middle of the night. 3. It reduces overall weight of the bag, and therefore your pack. 4. The bag and pad can be stuffed together for compact packing. Compatible with any 20 wide RECTANGULAR sleep pad.
