Many moons ago, we had a soldier return to barracks drunk, and pass out in a corridor. So we had is company bring his bed (with him in it), his locker and set it up in the middle of the parade square. I saw him get up during reveille look around, and roll over (probably thought he was dreaming). He finally arose 0900. Till this day, I’ve not seem a more comfortable, restful sleep setup outdoors.

I reckon the point that doesn't get made enough times about insulated sleeping pads is how they won't make the sleeper too warm in warm weather use. People don't understand that the pad is there to insulate you from ground temperature, whatever it is, and that it doesn't generate warmth in and of itself.

I use a non insulated pad in summer in Australia because anything that insulates you will be covered in sweat otherwise. The benefit to having a pad that pulls the heat out of you is that you cool down quickly to a better sleeping temperature, and even if the air around you is constantly heating you up, the ground will cool you down gradually. It is obviously true that insulated pads don’t heat you up, but they also don’t let you cool down as quickly

@@Trav0m0f0 that's a valid point, and a good explanation for why a less insulated pad would be good for use in warmer temps. If I were to buy ONLY one pad, however, for use year round, I'd rather sweat on a well insulated pad in the summer than get cold on a less insulated pad in the winter.

I have the Nemo Riff 15 sleeping bag for women. I haven’t used it in the field yet cuz I just got it but it came in handy when my power went out and I couldn’t heat my bedroom. I slept in it to keep warm at night cuz I wasn’t sure where all my good blankets were at and the sleeping bag was close by. Oh my god. So comfortable! I’ve been sleeping in it since! No more using the heating at night! It’s saving me money in electricity lol I sleep so warm and cozy. Can’t wait to try it out in the field!

At my age, I need lighter gear. But I also go for some comfort. So like your favorite pillow, I made asmall down/feather add-on with a strap. It goes great with my Trekology inflatable. Only adds about 3 ounces and makes the pillow soooo much more comfortable. Also adds some warmth. Good video. Thanks Jon.

Let's not confuse loft ratings, I tell customers that it is more about weight and compressibility - the more fill and thickness of the baffle will determine how warm a bag or jacket is. Also, the sleeping bag is only one element of the sleep system - the mat will have an impact on heat loss/conservation. I have this conversation with customers on a daily basis, and normally draw parallels to house insulation - as that can be more tangible and easier to grasp. Great video :)

I've used the Nemo riff and the tango solo. The tango solo is a great concept, but failed on a baackpack trip. As someone with lower back issues, I toss and turn a lot. The riff does allow for some movement and is better than a mummy bag, but in my opinion it is not perfect. However I will keep it for shoulder season camping. When my quilt doesn't quite cut it.

Wow..I'm also in idaho, also have the disco (15), and also have the jetboil french press. I have a question about that....The directions say to not leave it on while you heat water, but it seems like it should be fine at the top like you're doing at the start of this video because the edges are, I assume, silicone. Do you really keep it on there when you're heating water or was that clip just for video? I think the comfort rating for the disco 15 is pretty accurate. I have the big agnes rapide pad (r 4.8), but I was getting a bit cold on snow at 20 degrees, I think because it's too tall for me (somehow I missed that there's a shorter version which I would have gotten instead.) I'm quite petite, so it takes a while for my tiny body to heat it up, and then there's all this extra mat sticking out and getting cold air all over the top of it. I think a layer of mylar bubble wrap on top will help though...I like to test things out in the yard, especially since I have basically zero backpacking experience. The hardest part for me is figuring out where I can go that isn't just a drive-in campground though. Car camping is fine, but the point for me is being able to go places I can't get to in a car.

Regarding the size of the bag, may I ask how tall you are? Just bought the regular version, and it’s rated for people 6ft and under, and I’m 6ft tall myself, with shoulder width on the larger size. Now I’m thinking if I should’ve gone with the long version, since the lining of the hood is covering my eyes, and I also have to make a slight effort to close the zipper at the shoulder position. I can still go and swap it for the long version.
@atrain4980
2 жыл бұрын
And just to be clear, the effort I have to make to close the zipper at shoulder position, isn’t because I wouldn’t fit in the bag. It’s more that the zipper is so close to me that pulling it upwards, requires my hand being so close to shoulders, if that makes sense. Once closed, I have enough room to lay my hands on my sides, without shoulders pressing against the insulation.
