In auction-style listings, eBay's automatic bidding system increases your bid in increments so you’re the highest bidder until it reaches your maximum bid. It’s more convenient than manual bidding because you don't need to monitor the auction as closely. When placing your bid, you enter the highest amount you’re willing to pay for an item. This is your maximum bid and isn’t visible to other bidders or the seller. You won't necessarily pay your maximum. If no one else bids as high as your maximum, you’ll pay less.In some cases, the seller may set a hidden minimum price, known as a reserve, which has to be met for the item to be sold. When you bid on an item with a reserve price, if your maximum bid meets the reserve, it will automatically increase to meet that price. Warm, Light, And Very Comfortable. Sierra Designs redefined comfortable camping with its Backcountry Bed 800 Sleeping Bag so you can sleep out in the wilderness as if you were in your own bed at home whether you're backpacking deep into the mountains or camping out of your car. Free from extraneous (and heavy) hardware like bulky zippers and drawcords, this intuitive bag features an oval-shaped opening with an integrated comforter that helps it adapt to variable temperatures. You can tuck the comforter's sides snugly beneath you and stay warm in temps as low as -5C, or you can pull the comforter out for the warmer nights. Its unique mummy design allows you to sleep on your stomach or side as well as your back, which is excellent because most mummy bags only let you sleep comfortably on your back. Sierra Designs stuffed this bag with lofty 800-fill duck insulation that has an excellent weight-to-warmth ratio so you don't have much weight on your back when you head out on a backpacking trip, and the insulation has Sierra Design's proprietary DriDown insulation that's water-resistant and dries faster than untreated down.
Sierra Designs built the Backcountry Bed's shell out of ripstop for durability and the liner out of taffeta for your comfort. This bag also features insulated pockets for your arms so you never wake up in the middle of the night because your hand slipped out of the bag and is slowly chilling. There's also an integrated sleeve for your sleeping pad so you never roll off of it during the night and wake up on the rocky ground. This sleeping bag is light enough for backpacking and warm enough for chilly nights. Adapts to variable temperature down to -5C. 800-fill duck DriDown insulation. Unique mummy design. Nylon ripstop shell. Nylon taffeta liner. Oval shaped opening with integrated comforter. Zipperless design. Insulated hand/arm pockets. Tech Specs : Material - [shell] 20D nylon ripstop, [liner] 20D nylon taffeta. Insulation - 800-fill duck DriDown. Waterproofing - hydrophobic down. Shape – mummy. Draft collar – no. Zipper – none. Max user height - [regular] 6 ft. Shoulder Circumference - [regular] 61 in. Hip Circumference - [regular] 60 in. Foot Circumference - [regular] 32 in. Fill Weight - [regular] 20 oz. Degree - 20 F. European Norm Comfort Rating - 31 F. European Norm Lower Limit Rating - 20 F. Stuffsize - 8 x 15 in. Stuff sack – yes. Claimed weight - [regular] 2 lb 7 oz. Recommended use - camping, backpacking. Reviews : Bomber And Warm Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer I got this bag a little while back and absolutely love it! It took me a minute to realize you need to put the tongue inside of the side walls in order to stay warm around its lower limit. It is VERY comfortable and so far is very durable! Simply Amazing - Best Investment Ever! Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions I am a big boy - 6'2" 300lbs. As a result, it has always been tricky to find a bag that doesn't feel like a boa constrictor. I happened to see this bag reviewed on YouTube and was pretty much sold by the design before ever seeing it in person. The 25" width (for the "long" bag) combined with the convertible "quilt" aspect just seemed too good to be true and I ordered one the same day to replace two aging bags.
I just took the bag on it's inaugural journey - a 4 night photo "expedition" in Olympic National park in the middle of November. We were expecting temps in the low 20's and I debated bringing my Marmot 0 degree bag, but I really wanted to give this bag a shot. Combined with my new ThermaRest NeoAir XTherm (R-value of 5.7) and this bag, I slept like a baby the first nights, completely oblivious to my hiking partners suffering in the next tent over when the temps hit single digits. Seriously - I have NEVER slept this well while backpacking - not in July, let alone November!
Like Sleeping In A Cloud! Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions I have one night in this bag outside and i'm pretty blown away. However, being an award winning sack this year i shouldn't be surprised.
This is by far the most comfortable bag i've slept in. The integrated down blanket does a great job increasing comfort (like at home) without creating any restrictions you get from a mummy bag. The extra material of the integrated blanket does a great job of keeping you warm (it was snowing where i camped...). This is also why i describe the bag as "sleeping IN a cloud" and that cloud being down. You can just wrap yourself inside the warmth and unrestricted comfort.
