Big Agnes Fish Hawk Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down
Wonderful moderate-weather bag

This is a fantastic bag that perfectly meets my needs. It packs to just 7 X 8 inches, and weighs less than 3 pounds (and I have the long bag). Its rectangular shape feels very spacious compared with my mummy bags (the bag is actually wider than my 20 inch pad). The integrated pad sleeve is a wonderful idea, not only keeping me from sliding off of my pad (especially if my tent is pitched on a slight incline) but cutting down on the weight of the bag (since there is no insulation on the underside--it relies on your pad to provide insulation). It is important to use a (20-inch-wide) pad that has some insulating value. The Big Agnes pads are probably best, but I have been fine with a (regular-size) Therm-a-Rest NeoAir (which does take a little work to slide in the sleeve, but packs real small). A regular-length pad seems to do fine in a long bag. The built-in pillow pocket is also a really nice feature. I really can not think of any way to improve upon this bag (except by shaving off some ounces, which would be hard to do in a bag that is this roomy).
