Waking up 5-6 times a night because im either cold or twisted up in my bag just really isn’t that enjoyable. Im on bag 4 wish I had spent the money to being with

Fleece!?? Holy cow I’d be sweating I thinkI have that sea to summit liner it works but adds to the twisted up it’s kinda like a little fleece burrito
The liner keeps your skin oil off the down which can degrade its insulation performance. I was skeptical in the beginning, and didn’t like how tangled up I’d get but I tried a camp without it and had a much more noticeable difference. IMO, worth the money to pick one up.How do all you feel about the bag liners? add heat? For the price of a Kelty 20 and a nice sea to summit liner I’m less than a 0 degree bag in weight and price. But I do sleep kinda cold outside of summer
I have 4-5 different bags. My most used one is a Marmot 10deg down. They don't make the same model anymore, it's 20 years old but still kicking stong. I've never been cold in that bag, and usually sleep under it like a quilt. If I was shopping today I'd buy a Marmot Helium.The bag and pad id really like to get new. A tent don’t need to be. I got a sea to summit pad yesterday and I’ve been shopping around for bags for months but can’t settle on anything.
I’d like to keep it under 200, hopefully 0 but okay with 10-20 degree. Sub 4 lbs would be nice.
What do you use?
Camofire has it for $314 todayTry to get a used big Agnes torchlight UL 20 degrees. 2.2 lbs. retail is over $400 but used they go for $200-$300.
Id like to keep both at <$200 each and I have a one man backpacking tent that I like the size of but it doesn’t breathe for nothing! I wake up condensation dripping from the walls like a Miami nightclub. No sleeping bag would withstand that, so it’s kind of a must… I like bivy style but I don’t wanna hang my whole pack or leave it outside the tent. I’m thinking one man or a small two. @Forkyfinder has a REI half plus 2 that he’ll sell me. When it’s packed it’s only a little chunkier than the one I’m using now but it’s twice the size when it’s up. That’s nice! And I know it’s quality so I may end up doing that.What’s the budget on both and how small of a tent are you wanting
Love the liners. Great to sleep on top of the bag on a hot day.How do all you feel about the bag liners? add heat? For the price of a Kelty 20 and a nice sea to summit liner I’m less than a 0 degree bag in weight and price. But I do sleep kinda cold outside of summer
Its a bit big for one- but worked well for a ton of trips with the wife and doggo.Id like to keep both at <$200 each and I have a one man backpacking tent that I like the size of but it doesn’t breathe for nothing!

GOHUNT has a Memorial Day sale right now. The KSB I mentioned is a part of that list.Id like to keep both at <$200 each and I have a one man backpacking tent that I like the size of but it doesn’t breathe for nothing!

Just seeing this but that’s the bag I use and I like it. I think the longer version is better for >6 foot guys. I haven’t had to try it in below freezing temps yet so I’d be curious how the liner helps.So I ended up getting the Big Agnes Anthracite 20 and a Sea to Summit Liner for around 185 bucks, the tent is something Sportsman’s had on display a couple weeks ago and I had checked out, was half price this weekend! $77
(everything listed was on sale this weekend)
And a Sea to Summit pad for like 80 bucks. The pad is 1.1 lbs and not as small as I’d like but the guy talked me out of an air one and recommended self inflating… BA sleeping bag weighs in at 2 lbs10 oz and the tent at 2 lbs 12 oz. All in all my whole sleep system now only weighs 1 lb more than just my old 0* sleeping bag! I’m pretty pumped. The tent is flippin nice. I think it’s going to breathe 1000% better and it’s 1/3 smaller than my old tent. It even came with like 10 ultralight stakes that didn’t bend when I hit rocks in the yard. Can’t wait to hit the hills!
