Sleeping Bag Options

[Speaks]

Cumulous bags are also a great value.

I’m looking to grab a new sleeping bag for an upcoming mule deer hunt in Alberta next fall. Hunt will be last week of Sept, so nighttime temperature around 0-10C.

The bag will mainly be used for base camp hunting, snowmobile hot tenting, etc. but every 3 or so years I’ll be taking it on a back country hunt.

Given that I’m not looking to spend the money on a high end argali, SG, WM, etc.

Does anyone have experience with Tiaga sleeping bags out of Vancouver? They seem to have decent specs and cost for my situation (~500 CAD vs $1200 for the others)

Looking for a 20F bag.

I really like my SG Chilkoot 0 degree. Light compact and fits me nicely

I have fathered friends and zen bivy (and consider western mountaineering and FF more or less interchangeable).

A 10 degree bag from either FF or WM could reasonably be had for $800 or so CAD but still over budget.

You could get a zen bivy 25 degree quilt and sheet for within your budget or the 10 degree option for 650 CAD, I know its a touch more but I think very well worth it.

The zen bivy looks very intriguing! I could also grab a taiga quilt, zenbivy sheet and their conversion kit, likely for around $500 CAD, which is intriguing!
