sleeping bag

[Jake75]

torn between sea to summit and stone glacier sleeping bags. Anyone have field experience with either?

Ok , so this is a very vague question. There are miles of posts on sleeping bags on this site. Search function is your friend. I would suggest doing some research first ,then come back and ask specific questions. Buddy has a stone Glacier 15, it is a solid bag. Would not buy one myself as they are built to fit guys to 6'4'' and I am only 5'6''. I do not want to carry the extra weight and deal with tying off the end to keep my feet warm.

I'm 5'8" and have never felt like I needed to tie off the end.

I agree with the rest of your post. The stone glacier bags have probably been mentioned hundreds of times.

Argali's bags would be a strong contender if I were buying today.

at 5'9" I have never felt the need to tie off the end of my SG 0 degree bag. Love that bag - there IS a reason why they are so well regarded on here - they deserve it.

I have bags from both. They have both been doing it for 50 plus years at this point and there is good reason for that.

Pick a size, pick a temp rating and I doubt you will be disappointed. If somehow they don’t have a size and temp rating to what you want, they will overfill their bags if you give them a call.

People talk highly of stone glacier and the new Argali bags, I just don’t have experience with them, as I’ve not needed a new bag in the last decade.

I have the SG15 bag. I think it is a great bag and the only complaint I have is the length. I am 5'9 and would like a regular option as well. I toss and turn all night and have no restrictions within the SG. I have no experience with the bag, but the Sitka hyperdown 15 bag is on sale at Al's for 50% off. I think that kind of discount merits some research into the bag. I believe there is a Rokslide review of the bag as well.

SG bags are excellent, a lot to like about them.
For me at 6’ I think they are to long.
For instance a 6’ bag with 16 oz of fill and a 6’6” bag with 16oz fill the 6’ bag will be warmer, same fill less surface area + less dead space for your body heat to warm up.
Plus’s less bag to smash into your pack.
And a hair less weight.

You’ll always be warmer in an appropriate sized bag, and that goes both ways, to big and to small.

Very vague question...

Second Tipsntails7 on Western Mountaineering. Have sold them years ago and continue to use them. They are the best in the business in terms of quality and very customizable to you (e.g., placing extra down in specific areas) when you go through western mountaineering or your local dealer.

I use the SG 15 degree bag year round. I'm 5'11" and had to buy a second for my 5'6" wife because she liked mine so much. I'm a side sleeper/toss and turn more than I would like at night and the shoulder cut accommodates all of that.
