  • Bio:

    I'm really into backpacking and mountaineering. I just love to immerse myself in the backcountry, go places that you can only walk to, and be in the moment. My passion is going lightweight and even ultralight, trading off gear for skill, and teaching other people to do the same.

Yes - you can pack a sleeping bag. I got my -25 F western Mountaineering into it no problem with a full mountaineering load. No space problems at all. This pack is much larger than speced by Osprey.

You can take out the framesheet and slide a thermarest zlite in behind the framesheet pocket no problem. What's nice about this is that the framesheet weighs 8.8 oz in size medium so you get to drop that weight since you're going to carry your pad anyway.

Temperature and weight. Unless you're in Alaska, the Downmat 7 regular will keep you warm if you're winter camping in the continental US.
