As much as we all love a good sleeping bag, they’ve got nothing on your bed at home. The sheet and quilt combo is the most comfortable way to get some quality shut-eye. It just so happens that it’s not as thermally efficient, especially on long, cold nights in the great outdoors. Enter Big Agnes’ Echo Park sleeping system, a plush and cosy backcountry bed that combines the comfort of a sheet and quilt set-up with the thermal efficiency of a bag. Too warm? Open up the side zippers to turn the bag into a free-flowing quilt, just like on your bed at home. Too cold? Zip everything up tight for maximum heat retention, and enjoy a comfortable night's sleep in brutally cold conditions. Ideal for car camping, campsite camps, or in spots where you won’t be walking for miles, the Echo Park 0 is the warmest in the range — perfect for keeping you cosy in deep-winter conditions when the mercury plummets long past zero.

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
