    For anyone who doesn’t want to buy a specific product in addition to their sleeping bags - I bought a cheap quilt and ordered some nylon1.6 fabric, sent it all to a dressmaker, along with my sleeping pad and pillow, with the instructions “copy this product”. 100 for the quilt, 30 for the nylon, 100 for the work. They made it so I could either put the quilt on top of the pad or around and under it with very simple system and thin cordage.

    I have a suggestion to make the system even more adaptable By adding several more options. Always start with a light weight (under one pound) Bivi bag, A Sleeping bag liner,(I use a sea to Summit bag liner It adds about 10 degrees warmth) a Nija suite(capoline tops and bottoms) A 13oz hooded down jacket. This is based on the military MSS Modular Sleep System. Take only what you need for the trip you plan. Make sure the system can Breath, to expel moisture, build up and at the same time trap warm body heat. A sleep system does not create heat> It traps and holds body heat. The system is effective from 70 degrees to minus 20 F depending on the combinations you chose to bring along. If you use a Bivy bag which I highly recommend. Put your sleeping pad inside the bivy bag for added warmth and you can't slid off it. Every layer adds more isolation and the space between the layers is another layer of insolation. The whole is greater than the parts.

    I made my own system by using an Asta Gear quilt and a Aegismax sleeping bag that combined with a R5.8 mat keeps me comfortable down to 30f which is plenty for what i do. The benefit is it only cost me $180. The bag and quilt weigh about 1.3kg but i can live with that and obviously in the summer i just use the quilt at about 600g. I just use a T shirt over the top end of my mat to put my pillow in and that works fine.

    Nemo Tango matched to a mattress, does this same thing. It is quilt, has a pillow pocket, under sheet and has a hood. Add a liner of your choosing or a bag as a linter or none at all. I love my tango with tensor pad. Most comfortable sleeping ever. I actually carry the EE torrid jacket I have anyway, pants and booties for all season system.

    That outer bag has almost fill-less patches all over it. Can see them with the orange colour. Those will leak heat all night. That would be less noticeable with an inner bag but it does look flawed.

    • @BackpackingTV
      @BackpackingTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re not the first person to call this out, but I really haven’t experienced this in reality. I’ve been using this bag since February and have camped in some cold, borderline conditions and haven’t noticed the other quilt having issues with the baffles and down fill. It is thin, which is why I think people are seeing through it. But it’s supposed to be a lighter outer, rated only to 50 degrees on its own.

  • @kevinstarski1598
    @kevinstarski1598 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thank you for bringing this sleeping system to my attention. Yes, I seem to slide down on the pad towards where my feet are, and half the night keep searching for my pillow. It's shocking to me that Nemo as a producer of variety of hiking pillows hasn't incorporated a simple strap so you can secure it around your pad. There are some cheapo plasticky pillows that have it but they are crap. This is a great system for someone who does not have any sleeping bags, however I already have several, so It's hard to justify such a purchase to essentially use just the outer bag. I called Agnes today and of course they don't sell just the outer one (thus turning down all that potential sale from people like me who already have sleeping bags but wouldnt mind having a pillow secured and being able to toss and turn at night without falling off the pad). They do have a quilt of some kind similar to the outer bag but too heavy....so for right now Im just going to keep what I have.

    • @BackpackingTV
      @BackpackingTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Keep what you have! I’m glad you came to that conclusion. I would love to see Big Agnes come out with just the outer. It’d be a great companion to almost any bag.

  • @Melanie-Shea
    @Melanie-Shea 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    There are a lot of free gains in the warmth of a sleeping system to be made by just shoving the stuff you’re not using like your backpack underneath your sleeping pad on a really cold night. I also always see it advised against to sleep in outer layers but that is also a huge way to add warmth. Also if you want to sleep with your insulating layers but it feels too restrictive, nothing says you have to wear a jacket as a jacket you can just lay it over you or wrap it around your legs like a blanket.

    @medicus5565 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very interesting product. I've often wondered why manufacturers don't provide a cost-effectiveness comparison for sleep systems. For example, cost per item weight, or cost per comfort level, or better yet, cost per R-value (although I've never seen a sleeping bag rated by R-value (why not?)). This would help most consumers make a reasonable choice. For the Lost Ranger UL 3N1 sleeping bag, the cost per weight would be $16.18. This could be compared to other bags to make an informed purchase decision. The greater metric would be the warmth to cost ratio. Just a thought...
    Thanks for another great video!

      No doubt. WM bags are worth every penny.

    Looks like they copied some of Sierra designs cloud series

    To me this seems like an overpriced ZenBivy ripoff. I’m not sure how they aren’t in trouble for copying/infringement.🤷🏼‍♂️.
    I have the ZenBivy system. It is very comfortable. I agree. Can be a quilt or a bag and a pad sheet.

    Really interesting, but the video would have much more informative if you’d shown the bag on a table, instead of in the tent. For most of the video, the bag isn’t even in the frame.

    Too pricey - other bags offer more value for less.

      Any in particular bags come to mind for better value? I think the versatility gives this bag a lot of value. In warm weather, you can split it up between two people and each person gets a bag. I literally did this with my girlfriend while camping in the desert when it was warm. The extra price is also for the UL properties. Can get the non-UL version if you want to save some money.

    After watching many of your videos, I question you and your experience with backpacking and hiking. I think you have no idea what you are talking about... I perceive you as a fake hiker

    BA pads suck which kind of renders the whole system useless. Those pads fail in short order consistently.

      I can't say I agree with you. I have had good luck with getting quality pads/mattresses from BA. You can always pair this system with any pad or mattress though. Keep using the one you enjoy!

      BackpackingTV thanks. I had faith in them in the beginning but after trying three different pads inside a clean tent and having them fail on the first trip I lost it. Good to know you’ve had better success.

      I've also had good luck with two 20" BA pads. I just upgraded to a 25" BA pad and hope my luck holds out.
