This doesn't but Cocoon makes a silk liner with a zipper, I don't believe BC carries it. You want the Cocoon Silk Coupler system.

Nalgene SS BPA-Free Bottle - 38oz
October 30, 2009
the 38oz bottle is actually the same size physically as the 32oz plastic nalgene bottles, the extra capacity is due to the metal bottle being substantially thinner and the fact that the capacity is measured to the brim whereas the plastic bottles capacity is measured quite a bit lower.

You may want a larger unit, check auto shops like auto zone or strauss for a large jump pack that has a built in AC converter, Home depot also has many models as well. See what the Ah draw is of your cpap machine and get a battery pack that has at least that amount.

I own quite a few of these bags but I just can't tell and no where is it written which side the 40 degree side is and which side the 20 degree side is. I can't even tell any difference in the loft of each side. I still love this bag, just curious.

Mountain Hardwear Flip 25/40 Sleeping Bag: 25-40 Degree
May 13, 2009
3 days up in the mountains of PA during November. It rained for 3 days straight and in the mornings there were 8" icycles hanging off my motorcycle. The overnight low was roughly 0 degrees.
I slept with the 40 degree side up (I think, is the red side up the 40 degree side?) on an exped synmat 9DLX inside a Walrus tent. I was just wearing a long sleeve t-shirt (it was cotton, I know I know)but I was wearing insulated pants and a beanie on my head, I was actually hot all those nights....

MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2 Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down
May 13, 2009
If you're dead set on this bag then you can do a few things. Cinch the lower baffle closed. If that does not help another trick is to fill a nalgene bottle with boiling water and toss it in the foot area, your feet will be nice and warm all night. You can also toss a couple of toe or hand warmers down there.
Also, to keep you feet warm wear a hat and to keep your head warm wear merino wool socks.
If you can look at other sleeping bags perhaps a child size bag will work for you? I have a few female friends roughly your size and shorter and I got them children sized (but name brand) sleeping bags. OR I let them use my Mountain Hardwear flip which has about 24" of zipper on the non full length zipper side, thus effectively making the bag shorter. Not many sleeping bags have this feature, so you might also want to look into ones that do.

Hippie, don't listen to Shane. This bottle does NOT have a plastic coating inside. You can absolutely boil water in it. If the stickers are on top and you're boiling on a small stove and not in a fire the stickers should be fine.
Shane, don't answer questions when you don't actually know the answer, all it does is confuse people. The description even says its good for boiling water!
