Tanager 20 CFL Sleeping Bag

Hi, I’m considering this bag myself. How have you liked it so far?

Anthony….How is the Tanager working for you?

So finally got a chance to sleep in the Feathered Friends Tanager in some cold weather. It was about 34 degrees and there was about 2 inches of ice crusted snow on the ground. My hands were wet and cold when I got in the bag and 30 minutes later I was warm and toasty. I didn’t wear a jacket in the bag. I’m very happy with it. A bag without a zipper is a pain but I don’t mind  the hassle I’m a cold sleeper and a bag without a zipper has a better warmth to weight ratio, very warm and light, the perfect bag for me. I usually buy a 68 inch Vireo but with the Tanager I went for the Long instead thinking a little more room, I’m 5′ 11″ and I’m happy with the longer bag, a little less restrictive these bags are very narrow in the legs.

I’ve got a wide 68” 30 degree Tanager. It’s a great bag that lofts like crazy and is plenty warm. I’m 5’8” so was thinking 68” was going to fit me well but I think I need the long so I can pull it over my head at times. Should I worry about 74” on a 72” pad or not an issue as it won’t fall off the end too much or be a big deal?
