Big Agnes Sentinel 30 double sleeping bag
My very first post is:
The Sleeping Bag Saga:
We're on our third set of sleeping bags and are STILL not 100% happy with them....
The first set were full mummy bags and we both hated them as we suffered badly from leg claustrophobia and they couldn't be zipped together, good thing they were on special when we got them
Then the sleeping bag research began........
After a lot of looking around I got our second set which "looked" good on the website (size & weight wise), they didn't appear to be a lot bigger than what we already had but had straight sides, they're really comfy and toasty warm but they're just waaaay too bulky, so we only used them once....
Our third (and current) pair, which also looked good on the internet are nice and warm and comfy, zip together and we like them a lot, but they're still just too bulky......
Sooooo now I am back researching sleeping bags yet AGAIN
In the "Gear Up" video, someone suggested the Big Agnes down bags (because they pack down so small) and after having had a look at them I'm thinking that the Sentinel 30 looks like it might be the ticket BUT once again I'm going to have to buy it on-line without seeing it and this has me worried. We live in a remote area, so just about everything we buy for camping is on-line.
My questions:
Does anyone have this? Is it any good? Is there something that would meet our needs better? Would a pair of Exped 9LW mats fit into the built in mat sleeve?
Sentinel 30
Thank you
