Big Agnes Dream Island Doublewide 15

Sleeping bag for two

By Kate Chandler

Big Agnes sleeping bags may take a bit of getting used to, as they require you to slide a sleeping pad into a sleeve on the underside of the bag. The point of the system is that you then have an integrated bag/pad set-up, and you don't slide off of your pad all night. Plus, it allows for lighter bags, as the pad, rather than additional filling, acts as the insulation on the bottom. Backpackers have long reaped the benefits of this ingenious system, and once you get on board, you won't look back either. But Big Agnes isn't for solo backpackers alone. Couples who enjoy car camping can snuggle up in the Dream Island 15-degree sleeping bag, part of the Doublewide series of sleeping bags made for two people. Zippers on each side allow for easy access for both parties, while a draft collar around each person's neck will keep out the chill of night. Built-in pillow pockets that you stuff with whatever you have handy add even more comfort. Let the body-heat battle begin!
