The Echo Park is the ideal bag for anyone who needs or wants extra room when sleeping. These synthetic bags are great for car camping or leaving at base camp as they weigh more than usual for the extra wide and longer design.
Big Agnes says:
Echo Park Series synthetic bags are cut tall and wide, ideal for campers of a larger stature, barrel-chested strong men, or for folks who just want more room to move around at night. Ideal for hunting camps, base camping, or road-tripping. Slip one of our 25 or 30-inch wide pads into these Big Agnes System bags, which utilize our Flex Pad Sleeve design. With double zippers that zip completely off to create a comforter affect, or zip together into a mummy bag with the Park Series Wedgie, plus top corner hand pockets that feel just like your comforter at home, the Park bags’ unique quilt-like construction turns your bag into a backcountry bed. So comfortable, you won’t want to go home!
Our Verdict
Big Agnes's Echo Park 0 Synthetic Sleeping Bag is built for comfort. The extra wide and long design is perfect for anyone after a larger sleeping bag. With a significant amount of FireLine MAX Synthetic Insulation in it the bag is thick and warm resulting in a very comfortable night. It is quite heavy but it is designed to be used for car camping or at basecamp in really cold conditions (with a Comfort Limit of -18°C)when you don't have to carry it around so comfort is more of a priority than weight.
There are a number of really nice, practical features such as the 'Free Range Hood' which allows you to stay covered up even when lifting your head up, the Pillow Barn for keeping your pillow secure through the night and the sleeping mat sleeve which is stretchy enough to accommodate the larger mats. This sleeping bag can also be unzipped to create a large quilt for warmer conditions adding to the versatility. Although it's not the lightest bag it is designed to put comfort first and it certainly achieves that.
