Big Agness temp ratings?

[TMK]

Looking for opinions from anyone that has slept in a Big Agness bag. Are the temp. ratings accurate? Thanks for your help!

I have found them to be optimistic at best. For me about 15-20degr off.

Yep, great bags but not even close to tru temp ratings. I've been cold at 30-35 degrees in a 15 degree model. Add 20 degrees.

ditto this. My brother had the lost ranger. He reports about the same 20deg off from comfort. He is a pretty normal.

I've had two BA bags and I would say they are 15 degrees optimistic.

Thanks for all the comments. I am going to be in the northern Yukon the 1st week on October. I have a 15 degree bag now, i may need to upgrade.

And their bags require a good sleeping pad for their systems to work properly. I went with a Marmot Sawtooth 15 bag. I thought it was a great bag for the price.

I have their R-6 pad. Just was curious, i have never had an opportunity to sleep in it yet. I am a big guy and that was the main reason i went with the BA. I guess i could always bring a liner!

I had their Encampment 15 degree bag with an awesome Exped mat... the bag was more like a 45 degree bag. It was pitiful... returned it right away.
