01/14/2016 11:11AM I use an non insulated Big Agnes sleeping pad but I made a flannel slip cover for it. The flannel adds insulation and also makes the pad less slippery so my bag doesn't slide around all night. I haven't tested it into really cold temps but down to maybe the high 20's I stayed plenty warm all night. The flannel slip cover also packs up small enough that I can get it along with the folded up pad back into the original Big Agnes bag that came with the pad. |

01/13/2016 08:37PM We have been using tarps, closed cell foam pads and our thermo-rests for years and this system performs fairly well. Short of buying a bulky and expensive insulated sleeping pad, I'm always looking for a less expensive, warm alternative. What about that old 30 degree down rectangle sleeping bag we all have in the basement? Why not use a light weight and very packable sleeping bag for a pad insulator? |
