Zenbivy Sizes

[SloppyJ]

Talk to me about zenbivy sizes. I'm 6'2"and I'm planning on picking up a new kit while they're on sale but struggling on size.

I think the light option is the best for me and I'm planning on getting the XL quilt. I toss and turn quite a bit and end up on my side a lot.

I'm struggling with the sheet sizing. While I'd love a 30" wide pad, I havent found one that seems packable. I was planning on the largest exped 5 or 7. I believe they're 25" wide.

Are most guys running a xl quilt with a 25" sheet? Have I not seen the right 30" mattress or is it even worth it to go that big?

I'm torn between the two different quilts and sheets. I do a lot of camping in the spring to fish. Down here that could be 30 to 60 degrees at night. Having the ability to use it as a blanket seems appealing and i would think that the full sheet lends itself better to that. I also realize that sounds good on paper but probably wouldn't use it like that often and just leave it unclipped to air out on warmer nights. Any feedback on that front?

Seems that the half sheet makes sense with the normal quilt since the bag would cover the lower half of your body.

Thanks guys.

XL, with full sheet is what you want.

Thanks Form. Have you tried the convertible version? Is it more trouble than it's worth for the off chance you want to use it like a blanket?

Yes, that’s the original version. I would suggest the convertible footbox for your stated use.

I’m 6’3 260 lbs, toss and turn…. I used an xl 25 degree core quilt 25” wide with light uninsulated half sheet on a thermarest neoair nxt this year and was very comfortable to low 20s sleeping in a fleece mid layer . No issues with drafts. Weight of the core series leaves room for improvement but it was proof of concept for me.

Thanks for the reply. As the majority of my camping is near the truck, I opted for the small weight/size penalty of the 30" sheet and their 30" light mattress. A lot to be said about consecutive nights of good sleep and I believe it will be worth it. We will see.a

I'm thinking that the worst case will be that I need to pick up a second sheet and quilt for warmer temps.

If I was closer to the truck more often, I would go with the 30” too! That things gonna be comfy! I went from 20 to 25” this year and it was a very noticeable difference, if I wasn’t regularly packing in several miles, that 30 would be sweet. I think you’ll like the zenbivy, I thought it was great

30" and XL, especially if you move around. If you are in SoCal you are welcome to try mine.

6' and 215. XL and a 25" pad.

For late fall and winter hunts I have a full down sheet and for warmer hunts I use a non-insulated half sheet.
