Casey selmak product manager for Sierra Designs and today I'm excited to tell you about the new backcountry bed as you can see just by looking at it the backcountry bed is completely different from anything you've seen before that's because it's an entirely zipless sleeping bag I like to think of it as pure comfort because it has no zippers no toggles no velcro it's just down and fabric so here's how the backcountry bed works on the bottom of the bag is a half pad sleeve and that pad sleeve is basically like a fitted sheet so you insert your sleeping pad and essentially that provides the bed like structure allowing you to sleep on your back your side or your stomach by far the coolest feature of the backcountry bed is the integrated oversized comforter you can use the comforter on the outside of the bag when it's warm if you want a vent you can push it completely off you but when the temperatures do get cold you simply tuck the comforter on the inside of the bag and you get the performance of a traditional mummy sleeping bag one thing that we did act for this season was a way to connect the comforter to the opening of the bag for those of you who thrash about or toss and turn this ensures that the comforter stays tucked into the bag if you look at the bottom of the comforter you have hand and arm pockets the reason those are important is it allows you to maneuver the quilt but it also provides insulation under your arms when you're sleeping on your stomach finally at the foot of the bag we have our patented hands-free foot vents what this allows is for venting of the lower portion of the bag you simply raise your knee and stick in your toes out the bottom of the bag the backcountry bed is available in two temperature ranges 35 degree in 20 degree think of all those long and comfortable nights you've spent in that traditional mummy sleeping bag replace it the backcountry bed is a more comfortable solution allowing you to sleep the way you want whether that's on your back your side or your stuff you this is an introduction to the Teton Sports Alto sleeping pad when you're out on the trail miles away from your own warm bed you need a good night's
