What sleeping bag do you use?
Im looking for a 3 part sleeping bag with a cotton inside liner, the actual sleeping bag, and a tough water resistant outside liner.
Marmot Trestles 15.

normally, the liner and bivy are bought separately from the bag, so that you can customize how much lining and weather resistance/space you need.
tell us more about the conditions you plan to camp in, then we can make a useful suggestion.

I need a comfort temperature between -10 and -20C.
And i would prefer a cotton inside liner and a goretex bivy.
Has to be mummy style, and needs a compression bag.
A 15 euro one from the aldi. Works good enough, although it's a bit large.

That really isn't hard to do, unless you're located in a country which doesn't normally import such things on the reg.
For the comfort level you require, I use a The North Face Inferno -29C. I'm a warm sleeper, do not use a liner and this sleeping bag is water resistant. I use an Exped Downmat 9 between me and the snow/ice and sleep like a baby.
The bag compresses quite small in spite of how much down fill it has, and the sleeping pad compresses to about the size of a loaf of bread.

Pic related, Kelley cosmic down 21 degree bag
Got it on sale at cabelas. I actually bought it, then returned it and repurchased it From the bargain cave. I feel like what I did is somehow illegal but whatever saved an additional 20 bucks. Got it for like 100 dollars

the summit series gear has a lifetime warranty. it might not always be the best value, but it's good stuff.

May I ask why you want a cotton liner? Is it a comfort thing?

Sea to Summit TK II, very cozy.
Can any of you recommend a long and small tent for backpacking? I'm 6'8" and I hate sleeping in a ball whenever I camp :(
>>706389
So i can just take the liner out and wash it instead of the whole sleeping bag

You could use a 2 person tent and sleep with your feet in a corner then your head in the opposite corner

It's called being a smart shopper anon. You don't own any retainer your hard earned money.

I use a cheap kelty and a snugpak for warm weather, but the Backcountry Beds look really comfy and moderately light if not ultralight.
I hear this year is going to be all about alternatives to traditional bags.
You guys catch the news ones from Sea to Summit?
They've got these quilts designed to strap down to their mats and their "base camp" bags.
I was delaying gratification on buying a new bag to see some of the things due out this year. This quilt being one of the ones I want to check out.
It's slightly warmer than the traveler but it's also a bit heavier. The traveler will likely work better as a quilt than this will work as a bag: I think maybe the traveler is still what I'd cop.

I did not mean to imply the quilt works with the base camp bags. I just meant that's another thing they have out now.

fuck that looks cozy
I honestly don't know why I have a sleeping bag. Not once has it been nearly cold enough for me to actually stay inside the bag itself, instead of having it half-tossed over me.

I am 6'9 (209cm) and I need a sleeping bag, what should I do?
>>706242

>>706928
Enlightened equipment go up to 7'.

How do you even have time to sleep if youre swimming in pussy 24/7?
>>706928
probably contact manufacturer and ask them if they would be able / willing to make bigger sizes.

I have the US military modular sleep system. Got the whole thing for $30. It's a lightweight bag and a cold weather that can go over it and rate it to -50 f.

>>707052
What are you talking about I bought back my own bag... The same exact one I returned... And how would that affect prices of other goods??
>>707241
Well, yes...
