Hey my girlfriend and i want to buy some new camping equipment and sleeping bags and tents are on top of our list. We need something waterproof and windproof foremost. The last tent we have i sealed the seams and waterproofed the sides and it still leaked. She's 5'3" and i'm 6' so sized sleeping bags are a must, we prefer mummy bags. Any other accessories that would go along with it are a must, i kind of like a vestibule for gear & shoes also. Footprints, are they really worth it? It needs to be fairly cheap, but not worthless junk from walmart.

Haha, i was unaware that they made double bags. We usually just take our sleeping bags and lay one under and one over if we want. Double bag seems like a bi**h to carry into and out of the woods.
 
Suzuki, I spam this alot but Slumberjack really is a great company, and commonly overlooked. They have a female version of the Solara, their mainstay backpacking mummy. I have a Solara myself and really, it's ideal. Very durable, soft and comfortable, machine washable, NICE compression bag from the factory, zippered vents for warm summer nights... I paid 35 bucks for mine. Tent wise, I picked up a North Face Tephra 22 self supporting 2 person for 90 bucks new. It's completely mesh from about 2 feet on up, so you can see the sky from inside, and breathes very efficiently. Nice rain cover/vestibule too. I don't think they make it any more but I'd buy another North Face 2 person again. The other company I'd look at is Kelty.

I believe Slumberjack also makes them so you can zip a left and a right together without having to buy a giant double bag.
