My husband and I are looking to get some backpacking gear (first timers) and are really intrigued by this sleeping bag! Is it feasible for backpacking, or if we are going to spend the money for backpacking gear should we go with two backpacking bags?

Backpacking requires the proper planning, and one of the more important things to remember is weight. If you or your husband don't mind a heavy pack, or your going to hike only a few miles to your campsite and you split the load of tent, sleeping pad/s, food, water, clothes, stove, etc, this bag will work fine. But this bag weighs 9 lbs, which will require a large backpack and will take up a lot of space. If you don't mind spending some more $$$, look at the Big Agnes King Solomon bag. It's roughly the same design but with down fill instead of synthetic. The King Solomon will pack smaller, offers the same temp rating, and is over 4 lbs lighter than this bag, a real plus if your gonna hike some distance. Backcountry has them in stock and I'll include the link below. Remember to take a look at sleeping pads, Backcountry recommends 2 25-inch wide sleeping pads and coupler straps: www.backcountry.com/store/BAG0119/Big-Agnes-King-Solomon-Sleeping-Bag-15-Degree-Down.html
