so there is no padding on the back of this bag? just the sleeping pad space? It also seems really heavy at over 9lb. I wanted to use it for a backpacking bag for my girlfriend and i, is there another produce that would work the same and be lighter?

This is a sweet bag, but definitely a car camper. Check out the BA King Solomon http://www.backcountry.com/big-agnes-king-solomon-sleeping-bag-15-degree-down With all Big Agnes bags, there is NO INSULATION on the bottom. Big Agnes realized that crushed insulation beneath you doesn't do anything, so BA took the insulation out and relies upon the sleeping pad for insulation (as the sleeping pad is the only thing that provides insulation with any sleeping bag). For the King Solomon, check out two 20x72" Insulated Air Core pads from BA for the best sleeping pads.
