A light double bed for couples who want to cosy up without the need to zip two bags together.
Big Agnes says:
Like your own bed in the backcountry! Our Dream Island 35° eliminates the need to zip two bags together, so there’s nothing keeping you apart from your cuddle bug at camp. The new Pad Cinch System makes connecting two pads or securing a doublewide pad easier and faster than ever. Now with a full zip off option, you can use the top quilted layer like a comforter or zip together to create a single bag when camping solo. Insulated with recycled FireLine™ MAX synthetic to maximize comfort, loft, and warmth, the Dream Island is more versatile for the most comfortable sleep experience for two.
Our Verdict
I was impressed by how much room this bag has; even with someone else in it, there is a lot of room to toss and turn. The amount of room in the foot box is especially generous, and because of the individual 2-way zips, if one of you is a warm sleeper and the other is a cold sleeper, you can tailor the venting on each side, to ensure you both get a good night sleep.
So that you know, the underside (the bit you sleep on) has no insulation. This saves weight, but you will need an appropriate mat with a good R-value, especially in cooler climates. The Flex Pad Sleeve means your air mat is securely held in place and accommodates all pads; you don’t need a specific double mat.
The indicated hood is very cosy, especially when it’s chilly out; both have a fabric slot which you can slip a pillow into; this prevents the pillow from moving around during the night.
If you find yourself solo for a trip, the bag can be doubled over and used by one person.
