Big Agnes Women's Elsie 15°

The Big Agnes Women's Elsie 15° trades down for a synthetic fill, using 812 g of FireLine Pro insulation to reach a manufacturer-rated comfort temperature of -9°C (15°F), the same warmth class as the down-filled Daisy Mae but at a higher total weight of 1216 g. Synthetic insulation keeps performing when damp, which matters on multi-day trips where a tent can pick up condensation. The Petite fit is cut for users up to 167 cm and pairs a fitted, adjustable hood with a draft collar and draft tube to block cold air at the shoulders. A two-way, full-length zipper allows venting from either end on warmer nights, and the nylon ripstop shell with DWR-treated nylon taffeta liner resists light moisture without needing down-specific care. An internal pocket, stuff sack and storage sack are included. At over 1.2 kg it suits car camping and shorter backpacking trips more than long-distance thru-hiking, where every gram-saving down bag earns its keep, but it offers reliable, low-maintenance warmth for damp climates.
