Greetings,
I am on the hunt for a 0° bag for winter camping here in Wisconsin. Now, I have camped many times here in moderate winter but then again, my sleeping bag was easily a 10-12lb monstrosity. I know many manufacturers make great bags for temps all the way down to -20.
The problem I face is that an extremely small fraction of those bags actually fit. I am 6', 285lbs with a shoulder girth of 68". Right now, my Big Agnes Gunn Creek 30° bag just barely fits. (70" shoulder) Now I know that they make longer and wider BA bags but those are expensive even being synthetic filled.
The question I have is this: Is it possible to find a 4lb and under 0° bag in my size without having to sell a limb? I fear I am on the loosing side of this battle along with my wallet.
