Anyone find or make an attachment system for sleeping bag to pad?

Hi All,

I've loved my WM bags and they're light enough I appreciate the simplicity vs a quilt. That said, I love the idea of having the sides attached to the bag to not only prevent slipping off the pad, which seems to always happen (know I can use silicone on pad to help) but also to secure the bag to allow me to roll from side to side comfortably.

Zen Bivy has those clips now to use a dif mfr quilt with their sheets, so wonder if anyone has done something similar with their sleeping bags?

I know Big Agnes has an integrated sleeve in some of their bags to attach to a pad, but if I'm going to go for a new bag I'd just try the Zenbivy. The WM were a serious investment though, and been great, so would be nice to use them.

Long shot here, but thx.

Try a pad inside the bag???
I am at the same point. Hate to ditch my WM bag but the Zen Bivy does have some solid positives!

I’d do that. They’re removable so not much risk.

You could try contacting Katabatic to see if they'd sell you some of their clips that attached to the 2mm cord. They work really well on both of my Flexes. Then you just use tenacious tape or something to attach them.

Replacement 2mm Cord

Get the replacement cords you need for your Katabatic Gear sleeping pad attachment system. Order here to replace your lost cords, or just pick up some spares.

Or just attach some shock cord directly to the sides of your bag and wrap it around your pad. That would be pretty easy.

It could work but would take up too much room inside my bag, plus would rather not have my bag without the protection of the pad between my expensive bag and the tent floor.

Leaning to try the zen bivy, then just sell if don't love it more than what I've got. Thanks.

Z packs sells some stick on loops that you could put on each side of your sleeping bag and then you could do some paracord or something like that that goes around the pad. Only concern would be if it was strong enough to withstand a good solid “turn” in the bag without pulling off.

I just wish more companies would use the big Agnes sleeve idea. It works. It’s easy. And it only adds a few ounces.
