Nope. My Encampment and my Lost Ranger (current) bags have a hood, baffles, drawstrings and the whole 9 yards. They aren't as close fitting as a traditional mummy bag but they are still pretty warm. Colorado nights tend to be rather cold with temperature dipping regularly below 0C (32 F for you metrically challenged folks
). I'd rather stay on the pad to keep my heat in the bag then roll off the bag and loose it to the ground. The Lost Ranger is a bit narrower then the Encampment.

If it gets cold enough for a 15 F bag to be too cold, I'll 1. add clothes underneath or 2. find somewhere else to travel
