Thanks KF, it is nice.  Smiley

Back on topic, take a look at this. It's a bit different than zipping two solo bags together.

Both of us being campers, we've got the single models already.


It's tested out really well. Each side has it's own zipper, and it's very roomy. If you can share a double bed, you can easily share the Big Agnes double wide. Cuts down on overall weight, and the comfort temperature range is increased,,,think mittens vs. gloves.

Plus any comments about the Big Agnes pads.

I have the insulated air core pad that I bought in May.  Also have a cheap BA bag that I got last month.

The pad, which I've used a borrowed one a couple times before buying, is the most comfortable one I've ever used.  Warm, cushy.  I roll around and my hips never touched ground.  That is until it sprung a leak last week.  Only used 7 nights before it started leaking.  I hope I just got a bad one & expect a full replacement.  I heard one other person complain that they had 2 leak on them.  Something about bad design around the area where the valve & bag connect.

Having said that, after sleeping in the full BA system I really like it.  Since I roll around it was always a problem with the bag getting twisted and having my face in the head.  Not a problem with the BA system.

One odd thing about the system is you can't sit up in your bag once you have the pad inserted.  This required a minor adjustetment in my bedtime bivvy-sack yoga.

My only advice is to try before you buy.  Get both of you in the bag and see how it goes.  It may be cozy & romantic for the cozy & romantic moments.  If your partner or you ever get frustrated at the other hogging the bed, this isn't going to help.
