All I have to say is, thank you, thank you, thank you Big Agnes! 

It’s about time someone made a quality sleeping bag to accommodate two people; I’m done trying to zip two different bags together. 
The King Solomon 15° double wide sleeping bag from Big Agnes is the cream de la cream.  The plush light weight down bag comes with two full size (20″x72″) sleeping pads that fit in individual sleeves on the back of the bag…a.k.a. no more sliding off your ground pad all night, these 2.5 inch thick rip-stop comfort pads stay in one place. 
A zipper on each side of the bag allows easy access or escape for either sleeper.  The built in pillow pockets are another nice feature for holding your rolled up jacket or inflatable pillow.  There’s even interior fabric loops for your sleeping bag liners and built in no-draft collars for each person.  You don’t have to worry about down in your mouth because the rip-stop microfiber nylon is down proof.  Big Agnes thought of everything with this bag, if you need a two person sleeping bag this is the best!

This snug mummy cut bag is insulated with 800-fill down, so it’s toasty warm, uber light, and highly compactable; the perfect bag when you don’t know what to expect. 
The Phantom’s tuck-stitched shell is constructed from 15 denier lightweight tear resistant fabric, with a DWR finish.  The super-luxe inner lining provides a silkier sleep experience while the tight 5 inch baffle spacing prevents cold spots by keeping the down in place. 

*Sleeps one person comfortably or two people very awkwardly
