Big Agnes Farwell Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Synthetic
From Utah's San Rafael Swell in January to Colorado's Mount Evans region in July, the Big Agnes Farwell Sleeping Bag helps you stay warm at night. The synthetic Farwell 0-degree bag excels in cold-weather and summer alpine conditions. Unlike down, synthetic insulation continues to retain your body heat, even if you wake up with frost on your bag or you pitch your tent during a monsoonal downpour. Big Agnes gave this bag plenty of foot room and included a pillow pocket for comfy ZZZs. A sleeve on the backside of this sleeping bag holds your Big Agnes rectangular sleeping pad (sold separately). Rolling off your pad and waking up on cold, hard ground will be a thing of the past.
Bottom Line: Whether your camping trip takes you to slot canyons or alpine lakes, you need the Big Agnes Farwell Sleeping Bag to keep you cozy.
It will indeed. It will be a bit short, so beware there might be a small gap between bag and pad, and with BA bags, there will be no insulation on the underside.
Try stuffing some socks/extra shirt into the gap, and that should help with any problem.
I used this bag this fall on the North rim of the Grand Canyon. Great fit, lots of room in the bottom for your legs and feet. The sleeping pad slide in feature is great, no more rolling off of your pad, or having your bag role up when you move. Bag was not quite as warm as other 0 degree bags that I have used but I think this is due to the extra room in the foot box, not a bad trade off.
This is a 0 degree bag, and as such requires a sleeping pad that can also do it's job in below freezing temps. I paired this with an exped 7 and was disappointed with the outcome (I love the pad, BTW). the exped is about 2.75" thick, and having a pad that thick in the sleeve pulled the top of the bag tighter around me, felt like I was sleeping on a skinny bed with the sheets tucked in real tight all around me. I still had good foot room to move them side to side, but the bag was pulling down on my toes. same thing around my torso -- room for my elbows, but pulled tight on my chest. I then tried just putting the pad underneath the bag, but it just doesn't work that way -- you only get complete coverage from the insulated portion of the bag if the pad is in the sleeve. Simply placing the bag on top of the pad leaves "dead zones" where you have no insulation between you and the open air (the bag is well designed where if the pad is in the sleeve, this doesn't happen). It would probably work better with a thinner 4 season pad, like the thermarest prolite 4, or the pac outdoor all out aero mt., but then those aren't thick enough for me to sleep on my side and keep my shoulders/hips off the ground that well(I weigh about 200). Also, no pocket for a watch or whatever. The draft collar doesn't cinch up like some other cold weather bags, but it is a little heavier so the weight keeps it on your body. I tested this bag vs. the mountain hardwear switch 5, and I'm going with the switch 5 -- with the expander unzipped it has equal shoulder room, and even though it is more narrow in the feet, I felt like I had more room because it wasn't pulled tight by the pad.
I was wondering if this bag will fit a really big guy. I am 6ft 8in and about 310lbs. I constantly have problems with bags not fitting past my armpits.
I'm 6' and have tried stuffing myself in a regulars, rated for a max height at 6', and I felt like a sardine in them. My suggestion is google big and tall sleeping bags and see what you can find.
But zero degrees is pushing it. I've spent several sub 20F nights in it and been comfy. Then there was a night at 10k in January where the wind HOWLED and even behind a burly tent wall and a snow barrier outside there was enough air moving around to chill me out pretty good. I don't blame the sleeping pad sleeve as much as the draft collar and tube.
I do like the fit of the BA bags in general. I'm 6'5", 230 lbs, and don't prefer to sleep on my back. Even with the bag loaded up with clothes, water bottles, and ski boot liners, there's still plenty of room to move.
I'm considering upgrading to one of their down bags for more compressibility. This one does take up a lot of room in the pack! Overall I'm very satisfied. It's a lot of warmth for the price.
This is the best bag I've ever had. I've been hiking/camping since I was a wee lad and have used every kind of bag from the square flannel style to super fluffy down and this one by far is the most comfortable, warmest I've used. I'm a fairly large fellow and have always had an issue with either my shoulders sticking out or feeling cramped and claustrophobic. I can get my entire body almost including my head inside and I still have room to kick my feet around. I haven't gotten it down to 0 degrees yet but have gotten it down to about 35 and had to acutally unzip it a little to cool off at one point. I absolutely love the pocket for the sleep pad. I was a little unsure about this feature at first but don't ever want to worry about rolling off my pad again. There is plenty of room in the pocket for two pads as well which is good since this is required for cold weather camping. The only thing I wish this bag had was a little storage pocket for a flashlight, ect.. Overall I think it is a fantastic bag and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new sleeping bag.
This bag is designed to use an inflatable rectangular pad:http://www.bigagnes.com/str_pad_home.phpThe BA Farwell regular has 40 0z. & the long has 44 0z. of down.
get a left zip and a right zip and you will be in heaven... until that is you get too warm and she kicks you out of the bag! Hope you brought teh hammock on the trip. Yeah it is a fun thing to zip together.As long as you have compatible zippers.
