Big Agnes Amber SL Sleeping Bag

By Merebea Danforth x4236 September 13, 2009

I'm pretty pleased with this sleeping bag, and personally I like the Big Agnes sleeping pad system. It saves a bit of weight, and I like not rolling off of my pad. I'm just over 5'4" and got the petite size. While the tech specs say the maximum user height is 5'8" I'd recommend the regular size for anyone 5'6" or 7" and up. If I were any taller I'd want the longer bag so my feet aren't squished. Also, I find the placement of the pillow sleeve slightly low in the bag. I use the bag with a regular length rectangular Two Track pad so that I can use it with my other non Big Agnes sleeping bag. This pad sticks out about 5" past my feet, and sticks out over the sides from the hip or so down, which doesn't bother me. Only the top of this bag has insulation removed from the bag (unlike some other Big Agnes bags where the pad sleeve is the entire length of the pad) which I think keeps this one warmer. I haven't been in especially cold temperatures yet, but I think I will stay reasonably warm until about 40 or 35 degrees. This bag does not zip two ways, which is the only main thing I would change.
