The Pearl 30-degree rectangular sleeping bag from Big Agnes features a unique design that anchors you to your sleeping pad for a warmer and more comfortable night's sleep in the outdoors. With a rectangular shape, the Pearl provides a comfortable amount of wiggle room within the bag, while Flow Construction ensures uniform heat distribution and optimized fill positioning and density. But the most exciting part of the bag is the integrated pad sleeve that replaces ineffective fill on the bottom of the bag with a sleeve that anchors you to your sleep pad. This design uses the pad for insulation, reducing the overall weight of your sleeping bag and allows you to move freely as you sleep without ending up off the pad or at the bottom of your tent. Additional details that set the Pearl apart include a sturdy yet soft water resistant shell, a high-thread count interior liner, a built-in pillow pocket for use with a fleece or a real pillow, and the ability to mate the bag with a like-sized Big Agnes sleeping bag. The Pearl is also detailed with interior fabric loops for sleeping bag liners and no-draft seals. The bag comes with a cotton storage sack and a nylon stuff sack included and carries a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects.

Key Features:

  • Flow Construction: Insotect Flow is a flow-optimized insulation system that delivers uniform heat distribution and natural body contouring through its revolutionary baffle design. Flow Construction eliminates lateral and vertical down shifting by using vertical chambers with Flow Gates to regulate fill positioning and density. Strategically placed Flow Gates minimize vertical down shifting while vertical chambers minimize lateral shifting. With continuous vertical Flow chambers in place of traditional side seams, Flow bags eliminate potential cold spots which can occur with side seams. Vertical baffles now flow with your body for more rapid and uniform body heat distribution.
  • Integrated Bag and Pad System: The Integrated Bag and Pad System replaces the sleeping bag's bottom insulation with a sleeve that holds your pad. Recognizing that when sleeping bag fill is compressed under your body, it loses most of its ability to insulate, the pad sleeve securely attaches you to the pad from the hips up--and allows the sleeping pad to provide more effective insulation. This secure foundation keeps you on the pad and off the cold ground all night and the system also results in lower sleeping bag weight and smaller packed size. The system allows you to roll and twist freely in your sleep without rolling off your pad--or--waking to the feel of a zipper across your face.
  • Left or Right Zipper: When you are in the bag, on your back, the right zip will be on your right side and the left zip on will be on your left side.

  • Rectangular shape offers more room in foot box and shoulders
