A great bag for a big guy!

I am reviewing the Cross Mountain sleeping bag from Big Agnes. I just spend 14 nights in the Quetico and have good things to report about this bag by itself and as a sleeping system with the Air Core pad. The 40°F range of the bag was right on the money and just right for this trip.
There are a couple of things that make this bag different from your run-of-the-mill bag. First, I'm 6'3" and weigh in at 260. I had plenty of room in this bag. It's basically a cross between a mummy and conventional bag, which turned out to be great for me. Second, like other Big Agnes bags, it is not insulated on the bottom, and instead has a pocket to insert a sleeping pad. This worked great. We had to settle for some pretty uneven terrain and often slept on a small slope, but I never once came off my pad.
I really liked the bag. I could roll in with the deflated pad in its pocket and still have the smallest and lightest bag in the group.
