Thoughts on the Big Agnes Anvil Horn 15° Sleeping Bag?

I’m 6’2" and I fit in there with plenty of room! It’s spacious enough to avoid that claustrophobic feel some bags give.

It sounds like a good middle ground! Are there any ergonomic features that stood out to you during use?

I found the hood design really nice! It wraps around my head snugly without being too tight, which helps keep warmth in.

That’s great for cold nights! Overall, would you recommend this bag over others you’ve used?

Definitely! I’ve used a few different brands, and the Anvil Horn 15° beats them all in comfort and functionality for my needs.

I might have to get one! But why does it have such a silly name? Anvil Horn? Sounds like a band.

Haha, it does sound like a band! But hey, if it keeps you warm at night, who cares about the name, right?

I’ve had the Big Agnes Anvil Horn 15° for a year now, and the materials seem durable. The ripstop nylon has held up well, even after several camping trips.

That’s great to hear, Michael! I was concerned about the durability of the fabric. How does it fare in wet conditions?

I’ve used mine in the rain, and while it’s not fully waterproof, it handled mist and dew pretty well. I always pack a tarp just in case!

That’s a smart move! How about packing it? Is it easy to stow away in a backpack?

Yes, it compresses well in the stuff sack! It’s lightweight too, perfect for backpacking. Just make sure to pack it properly to save space.

Do you find packing it cumbersome, though? I’ve seen some reviews mention it can be a bit tricky.

Not really! I think it just depends on how you roll it up. A bit of practice helps a lot!

Overall, I think the Anvil Horn is a solid choice. Great insulation and the materials are holding up nicely. I’m curious how it performs in colder temps.

I used it in 20° weather and was snug! Definitely recommend it for chilly nights.

I wonder if a 15° rating is conservative or if it really holds up. Anyone feel too hot in this bag?

Honestly, I’ve found it quite comfortable down to its rating! But I’m sure everyone has a different level of warmth preference.

It’s definitely not the lightest, but it packs down okay. Just don’t expect it to fit into every tiny backpack.

True! The weight might be a downside, but comfort-wise, it’s a dream!
