Excellent sleeping bag for cold sleepers

By Bela Ranked #399 - Sleeping Bags September 27, 2007

I am a cold sleeper with very cold feet and unless I get my feet warm, I cannot fall asleep. My husband bought a Big Agnes a year ago and loves it. So I decided I shall try it and chose the Ethel.

We went to Tahoe, the last weekend of August and admittedly the temperature during the nights was comfortably cool, around low 40's. The Ethel was so comfortable that I overslept on both the days. I don't recall sleeping that well in any of my previous camping trips.

I also used a thermarest pad. A pad is a must for the Ethel bag. I couldn't feel the hard ground at all. The bag was quite roomy for me and I got the smallest size that they have. I got the left zipper bag, since my husband has the right zipper. We zipped both bags together and that worked out pretty well too. The only problem with that was, mine is a smaller size and he has a regular, so the zip wouldn't go all the way. Since the temp was quite tolerable, we were able to try that and it worked out quite good.

Over all, I'm quite happy with the Ethel and am waiting to try it out in much colder conditions.
