Would that bag fit a tent? Can I strap a tent and/or sleeping mat at the bottom of the bag? If not, what other Osprey bag would you recommend?

It has straps on the bottom that would allow you to strap a tent to it. I never tried it but the capability is there. I don't have experience with any other Osprey bags, but goodluck!

I strap a sleeping mat to the bottom of mine. Normally I stuff the tent inside the bag and the poles (if I'm using them) in one of the side pockets.

Dear Debbie,There are straps on the bottom of the bag, however, I don't believe that they expand enough for a sleeping bag. They are more designed for a ground mat / sleeping pad.I do hope that this is helpful.Brent

I have stashed 'backpacking' sleeping bag in the pack with minimal clothes. Have not tried packing a tent into it yet, but imagine you could strap one to it externally. Or if you had a really compact tent (I don't), that may work.

I would say yes. I have taken a smaller version of this pack, the 34, on a 10 day trip. But I am also a big fan of ultralight, and have gone out of my way to make my equipment small. I also did not carry a hammock on that trip. On weekend trips, I put my sleeping bag in those straps on the bottom, and everything else fits easily enough inside or in the side pockets. Part of that depends on what size sleeping bag and tent you have. Normal summer gear should not be a problem.

It depends on your needs, not the tent. What weather are you using it in? What size are you? The only thing I'd really say about it is, it's not large enough for a double wide two person bag.

If you're using it just for the liner -- 6 strap compression stuff sack would be fine. Lying flat the compression bag would be approximately 18 x 23. Diameter is approximately 32" around bottom of bag. If you need one, let me know I have one in very good condition, which is not listed (I can list). The 9 strap is a tad longer & wider - 9 strap made for the entire USGI sleeping system, which is the bivy cover and the sleeping bag (I also have 9 strap).

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

Yes there is a pouch for a bag on bottom but it doesn't work so I wouldn't consider it a designated pouch for a bag, and the materials the bag is made out of are so cheap I doubt they could even hold a tent, haha just do what I did and save up more and get a kelty red loud

Yes you could fit that size tent in this bag. But you would not be able to place the sleeping bag in the bottom portion you would have to place it along side the tent. It has a yoga mat strap in front of the sleeping bag storage opening. Their is no way to place a yoga may on the sides. But you can place one between the main pouch and the top cover pouch but would limit how much you can place inside the main pouch.

Listed dimensions from Stef are pretty accurate. It's a pretty big bag honestly. Large enough to hold the sleep system with room to spare. I would dare say that you could fit a loosely rolled commercial sleeping bag in it with no problem ex. coleman, North Face or similar without compression bag.

its a big bag. u put in a sleeping bag, ur storage would be reduced. if i were u, i will try to secure both the bag and pad externally.

I bought 2 but none of my sleeping bags fit. my large colmen sleeping bags don't fit. it only went half way in before it was full. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Sabine-Large-Cold-Weather-Sleeping/dp/B003640KD4/ref=sr_1_24?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1364786881&sr=1-24&keywords=sleeping+bag Looks lit it would fit my children's sleeping bags. Maybe a adult mummy bag.

I don't own this bag but am considering buying for my 14 year old. I have many years of outdoor experience and temp ratings on bags are kinda like person ratings on tents...they don't quite hold true. For camping at those temps my suggestion is for you to put a light weight fleece sleeping bag inside it and you'll be comfy cozy on even the coldest of nights. Just saw some Coleman brand fleece bags on Amazon for about $20. This solution gives you more flexibility with the temp range of the bag because you can remove it for sleeping in warmer temps.

I am pretty sure it is similar if not the same as the tent. There is also a white strip on the bottom of the bag, that when you pull it off, expands the bag so that the tent fits after you use it. Pretty cool feature, as I can never fit the tent into the bag without a ton of bungee cords, now I just use two or three to hold it together.

It is about the same size as a rolled-up ground mat for your sleeping bag... so just put it side-ways on the top of your rear rack, use one velcro or snap strap around the middle and through the rack and pedal on. If you continue to think through it, think about your tent, your sleeping bag, and your ground mat all snuggled together on your rear rack. I don't have an issue with other comment that you might want a lighter tent. I have a lighter one on my single heavy touring bike, but this one would be fine for a couple such as riding a tandem bike cross-country.

Yes, you can hold the mattress by the belt. It is not great, but it will work. You can put tent poles either in the bag or in the outside netting of the bag. If you can't make this work for a 2 day trip, you are packing way too much gear. There are way better bags available, BUT for the money, this is a great bag.

I ended up picking up an off-brand footprint at Academy that was on sale for like $6 or $7 (linked here: http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/no-limits-153-highland-peak-tent-footprint-groundsheet/pid-899503?N=882470663). It fits perfectly, but naturally, you could fold a tarp to fit. If you're going to backpack or do some hiking with it, it's worth getting a small lightweight footprint just to cut down the weight though.
