Which Sleeping Bag Size is the best?

I am going on a backpackin trip, and i was wondering if my sleeping bag size, 11" by 15" is small enough?

  • I am going on a back packing trip in New Mexcio in a few weeks and i was wondering how small my sleeping bag should be because my bag right now is 11" by 20" in a stuff sack ...show more

  • Answer:

    I suppose your plan is to strap your sleeping bag to the outside of your external frame pack somehow and you think it'll stick out the sides too much, or maybe you have an internal and you're worried it'll take up too much room. Either way it's no big deal if your bag is bigger than other folks. A 20 degree synthetic bag that weighs 3 lbs is about average. I'd stuff it in the sack it came with, strap it on and not worry about it. Or stuff it in the bottom or middle of my internal frame pack above the heavy gear. Using a compression stuff sack will ruin it.

That is a good size. We once went to Minnesota to the Boundary waters and we could only have 10" x 18". Three peoples gear combined into one big backpack and put into canoe. Your temp rating is pretty good. Have a great time. Check out the "Boundary waters canoe area wilderness" BWCAW. Great weather in summer.

He fails to mention that his tiny little nalgene sized sleeping bag was down, down, down, which costs a lot which this kid can't afford nor should he bother to try to replace what he already has if it'll do for this one trip and won't ruin his trip which it won't.

Get all of your gear, including the bag in your pack and try it out. If it's not too heavy or bulky, you're fine. A warm enough sleeping bag will make the difference between a good trip and a bad one.

I think you should get a smaller one it sounds like yours is too big. I would think the one you have will be a little bit too heavy for you to carry on your back packing trip you need a lighter sleeping bag. try and 8"by 10" or just a little bit bigger but not by much though :)
