I tried looking up some reviews, but I have never been able to find good reviews for sleeping bags. Is anyone familiar with this brand? Is there stuff good quality? Looking at buying one of their 0* bags for my hunt this December.
 
I've always been a fan of BA Bags. I've owned a Lost Ranger, Storm King, Buffalo Park and a Mystic SL. Their bags definately improve with increased $$$. Some will say their temp ratings are a little off. I like slipping my pad into the bag as I can sometimes have a hard time staying on a pad. Overall, I am a fan of BA bags but there are a ton of bags out there to choose from. Some of my other favorites are Western Mountaineering, Mountain Hardware and the new KUIU Bags intrique me. Gonna be in the market for a new 0 degree bag and not sure what way I will go...
 
Perfect, thanks for the info. I'm going to check out Mountain Hardware as well then.
 
Biggest difference with BA is the pad goes inside a sleeve in the bottom of the bag like kotaman said. This is great because you can toss and turn all night and always be on your pad. The bag has no insulation in the bottom so you would use a insulated air core pad.
I have two bags and a seed house sl tent from BA. Very nice stuff. Last year my pad got a hole in it that I could not find. I sent it back to BA to be repaired and they just sent a new pad free. Quality customer service. They are a local company out of steamboat springs. Hope that helps
 
I have the Hog Park bag and while I really do like the bag it is a little heavy for backpacking with. I am in the market for either a new lighter bag or a quilt and leaning heavily towards the quilt.
 
Deer park big agnes bags are good to go. I have the oversized series. Too lazy to double check. Having the pad slip behind the bag is better than sex.

You are doin it wrong!
however I do love my BA bag. I have 3 actually and I have no complaints
 
I have an encampment 15 degree bag with the insulated air pad. I really like it for the simple fact the pad can't get away from you. I have used it in the NWT and BC on sherp hunts and have no complaints. These were horseback hunts. I would look for a lighter option on a backpack hunt, including looking at lighter Big Agnes options. My dad has the same setup and had a zipper issue that they took care of quickly and at no cost 7 years after he bought the setup.
