I was just wondering when you sleep on your side do you just roll inside the sleeping bag or do you roll your sleeping bag on its side with you. I always thought you were supposed to roll your bag with you, like if you were wearing it, so you always breath out of your bag and keep condensation inside low. Ive been looking at some sleeping bags online and it seems like they are made to stay flat on its back. Big Agnes bags you can't roll on its side since the bottom has no insulation and your supposed to have your pad in the bottom sleeve. Hardwear Mountain Sleeping bags look like they are made to mainly stay on its back, and I'm basing this only on the images Ive seen of the bag.


So are you supposed to roll with your bag or inside. If "with your bag" do the bags have enough insulation on the bottom to keep you warm?

One more question.... When bags have a listed loft is it measured by laying the sleeping bag on the ground and measuring how high it "puffs up" or by how much insulation you will have around you when laying in it. If the latter, wouldn't it mean you really only have half the loft insulating you since your laying on the other half. So when you lay on your side the other 3" will loft back up and insulate you back? Or does it mean that is how much insulation is between you and the cold air outside. So when you measure your loft it should actually be around double what is listed? Which I would doubt or I got screwed on my bags loft. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
