When this thread was initiated, I was camping in the Chilcoten region of BC, it rained, blew and snowed like h*ll during our stay and we only had a tarp for shelter as the packer had not brought the wall tent he promised. My sleeping bag had a lot of icy water dumped on it when the tarp ripped under snow in the early ayem, not fun!

I was using my current favourite hunting/wilderness working bag, which is just superb and I was dry, comfortable and warm during the entire sojourn about 25 air miles into the wilderness from the hamlet of Goldbridge, BC.

This bag is the Integral Designs North Twin plus Andromeda Strain Overbag listed under "Special Gear" on their website and it is the BEST synthetic sleeping bag(s) I have EVER used in 43+ years of serious backpacking/caamping. I also have a custom ID down/Endurance bag and used to have a genuine Marmot Mtn. custom bag made when they were still in Colorado.

I have bags by Exped,Feathered Friends and Western Mountaineering as well and have had others from all over the globe; NOBODY makes a "better"bag than ID and most, including Marmot are not even close. I will only buy bags from ID and WM, they are the best.

So, buy this combo in your size, it will be exactly what you need and easier to pack and carry than the big Emperor version, yet, as warm. The versatility of this bag, plus it's utility and quality will make you a "happy camper"!
