Big Agnes Pomer Hoit Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down

PRODUCT REVIEW: Big Agnes : Big Agnes Pomer Hoit Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down
Buy Now: $258.95 Product Reviews Weighing in at 2lb 10oz (Reg) with 725-fill down, the Big Agnes Pomer Hoit 0-Degree Down Sleeping Bag is ideal for lightweight alpine climbing and winter camping. By taking out the insulation on the bottom of the bag, which becomes useless when compressed, Big Agnes significantly dropped the weight of this winter bag. A sleeve on the bottom of the Pomer Hoit holds a Big Agnes REM mummy-shaped pad (not included). This system uses every ounce of insulation to keep you toasty at a winter camp and keeps your pad under you no matter how much you move at night. Stuff your jacket into the Pomer Hoit’s integrated pillow sleeve, and get the best night’s sleep you’ve ever had in the outdoors.

Big Agnes Warm Light Durable…
I got one of the first demo Pomer Hoit 0F bags from the boys at Big Agnes. Little iffy at first about no back insulation, but after taking it and sleeping in a snow cave first night out with the temp to -10F on top of Farwell I was sold. I skied Big Agnes the next day, and three years 100+ nights later in that bag, it s still as lofty and warm as the day I got it!

Zipper problem
This is best sleeping bag I have found. I have used mine from the Teton Wilderness to Siberia without complaint. The last one I purchased was a gift for a friend who has arthritis in his hands. He had difficulty with the zipper catching the material and jamming up. He was slightly embarrassed asking for help to unzip himself from his bag.

Big Agnes Bag
I bought the Big Agnes Pomer Hoit sleeping bag after a particularly cold night in the Uintah Mountains of Utah. After just a few trips I have been impressed so far. More often than not, I m too warm and have to open the zipper to vent. The lack of insulation at the bottom of the bag does require the use of two sleeping pad in conditions colder than 30 degrees if you want to avoid cold spots throughout the night. With that, the only other complaint I would have with the bag is the zipper, it does get caught more often than I would have expected. But overall the bag does as advertised, a great pick.
