Big Agnes Kills it with the Sleeping System: The Roxy Ann 15 + Insulated Double Z [Review]

  • 9 years ago
There are no words to describe how I feel about the Roxy Ann 15 Sleeping Bag System created by Big Agnes. I think this is by far one of my most favorite product tests of all time because of the innovation, comfort, and design. Basically, if you’re not camping and sleeping in a Big Agnes sleeping bag system, you’re missing out big time.

The Roxy Ann 15 is a beautiful sleeping bag that is packed full of amazing features and designed for extreme comfort, no matter what type of sleeper you are. The rectangular shape and taller side panels allow you to move around when you sleep and get into your most comfortable snoozing position. I recently had a horribly uncomfortable experience with a mummy bag that was so tight and constricting; I couldn’t even itch my foot without unzipping the entire bag. In the Roxy Ann 15, I can bend my knees, cross my legs Indian style, sleep on my side, and itch the bug bites on my ankles. As far as sizing, I’m have a healthy sized body and am 5’10 tall and the Regular fits me perfectly with room to spare.

The nylon taffeta lining on the inside of the bag is so soft you’ll want to stay curled up in this bag all day. The shell fabric is breathable and finished with water repellency—combined with the DownTek insulation (water repellant and warm)—you’ll be ready for any weather thrown your way. The nylon shell fabric is also a rip-stop material; so feel free to sleep literally anywhere. The Roxy Ann 15 will hold up to the abuse. One would expect a bulky, firm, and rough fabric out of a rip-stop fabric but that is not the case at all with the Roxy Ann 15. The outer shell is almost as soft and friendly as the inside.

Another amazing technology embedded in the Roxy Ann 15 is Insotect Flow construction. The vertical down baffles allow for uniform heat distribution throughout the body. This technology eliminates bunching and cold spots and allows the down to move with the contour of the body! You can have the warmest down on earth but if it doesn’t distribute evenly, what’s the ...
