Flex bags
Hi all, I'm Ox and I just started this yesterday. Hooked already. I'm starting to acquire gear I'm considering getting a Sierra Designs Flex bag (there are a few in the series). Does anyone use them? I know they are heavy, but I'm a big guy and I prefer sleeping on my side.

I LOVE MINE!!!!!!!!! i can move, sleep in almost any position, roll over inside the bag.. whatever.

it is the mummy bag for people that hate mummies.

i have the sandman long 15deg

the ONLY reasoning to get the van winkle is it packs a little smaller, but because of the 600 fill down its weight savings is negligable.. about 8oz.

I contacted them and said make an 800fill flex bag and you will have some happy customers because this bag actually fits larger people great!

Thanks for the information. I'm also considering a hennessey hammock so this bag might be a good investment

Before EarthNsky and I came to the "party", we strung his up to see if I fit comfortably inside. It was very comfortable.
