big agnes

I got a new sleeping bag! With the combination of Dad's REI dividend, a 20% off coupon, and a return credit, I decided to get something big that I would not normally buy. So I opted to get new sleeping bag (to replace the one that has served me well for the last 15 years) and camping mat (because mine died last year). I got a steal of a deal - $252 of gear for $93 - Score!

I got the Big Agnes bag and mat. I would have gotten their camping mat regardless of the bag I chose because it has the type of blow up air core that I love*. And after snuggling in a bunch of sleeping bags, I chose the Big Agnes Roxy Ann because it had much more room in the hips/torso than the others. Now for a test trial...


*The camping mat that I used to have was a by Pacific Outdoor Equipment, it is not ridiculously expensive like Big Agnes is. If you are looking for a great camping mat, I would highly recommend this one (not currently available at REI, which is why I got the Big Ag).
