Big Agnes is Hot and Smart
Date: September 16, 2008 | Category: Lifestyle, Travel
Cuddle up under the stars with Big Agnes. Don’t worry: it’s not a date. Big Agnes is a purveyor of outdoor gear for all you wilderness junkies out there. But they’re greening up the process to keep your adventures well insulated with the world’s resources in mind. In fact, a single Skinny Fish sleeping bag diverts more than 85 16-ounce soda bottles from landfill. With recycled insulation, shell, lining, cord and storage sack, the bag boasts 97% total recycled content! The insulation itself is 100% recycled material, ClimaShield™ HL Green, that will hopefully become an industry standard. And since the Skinny Fish was awarded 2008 Best of Adventure Gear by the editors of National Geographic Adventure magazine, you can rest assured that it’s an awesome bag aside from its eco-specs. (Note: Big Agnes designs their bags to be used with a pad, which they now offer in a recycled version as well!)

Very cool! I just wish they made it in the smaller sizes too. We actually need new sleeping bags too…
