Sleeping bag construction question

[priller]

Good day guys and gals,

I will start with my question: Is there a right-side or wrong-side of a sleeping bag? Or better question, would I get the same insulative benefits from using a sleeping bag completely zipped up as an UQ, with the outer layer of the bag actually facing my body?

To get to the point, I just realized that my Kelty Camp 30 sleeping bag is basically the exact dimensions as a Warbonnet Lynx UQ, 33 inches wide at the top by 75'ish inches long. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/kel...hetic~p~3187f/

It should work perfect on the RidgeRunner with a little shock cord and s-biners, similar to the Warbonnet setup.

So what do you think folks?

Kinda ticked I didn't think of this earlier!

Do I assume correctly the you plan to use it zipped up as a UQ? If so, you may have some compression of the insulation due to the fact that the innermost shell layer and the outermost shell layer will not be differential cut compared to each other. It will still work, but the insulation value will depend on your care in suspending it.

Yes it would just be zipped up.

Gotcha, thanks for the information, I'm not too smart on all the quilty details such as the cut....

Well I will try it out as soon as I can and report back.
