   Probably the best Cold Weather Bag for the price!

   For the price and performance, I don’t think this sleeping bag can be beat, especially if you are looking for maximum warmth in severe cold camping conditions. The lining is very smooth and surprisingly comfortable, while also adding the benefit of providing a degree of water/weather resistance. Likewise, there is a generous amount of insulation that is fitted well in the sleeping bag so that it does not shift or clump up, keeping the whole bag evenly insulated. The mummy style also contributes to rapid warming, without the need for multiple layers of clothing.Other features such as the “zipper plow” make it a breeze to zip/unzip the bag which just further adds to how much value there is to this bag. The only “drawback” to this bag is that it is fairly large and bulky; if you are a backpack camper trying to find lightweight performance, this is not it. Also, if you are someone who feels constricted in mummy style bags, take a look at Coleman’s Big Basin sleeping bag instead; it has similar performance but in a standard “rectangle” shape. For my purposes though, this is basically perfect!

   it is a bag that you sleep in

   Warm; saved my morale on a very arduous hike through 3 feet of snow up a VT. mountain side with snow covered planks all the way up and down. God, never again. I despise the mummy-style bag, but use it anyway because camping is not really about domesticated comfort. This bag design is perfect for survival and staying warm under very bad circumstances, assuming precautions are kept to keep it dry. It is not meant for chilling at the house, so it gets all the stars it deserves, despite being annoying from a true comfort standpoint. I just wish it had like an inch more width at the bottom. I’m 6’1″ and it was too long, but not wide enough at the feet…but again, it is a mummy bag and I got what I paid for. It did the trick; just keep your feet together and contort your body like a night crawler until fatigue overcomes discomfort and your own stupidity for not staying at home. On a serious note, the bag is very cozy and plush enough to almost be annoying to carry, but if you avoid sleeping pads like I do, the thickness of it is a huge win.

   Surprising secondary use for this amazing bag!

   First of all let me say I really love this bag. It is exactly what I expected but actually the feel of the bag is more than I expected. It is better craftsmanship than I was actually thinking would arrive. Secondly let me tell you that I know most of you reading my review have probably read the negative reviews where you had people saying that they were five foot six and a hundred and fifty pounds, yada yada, and could not fit in this bag. I am 5 foot 8, 210 pounds and I fit in this bag just fine. It is a mummy bag. It is supposed to be small. I have at least four inches left if I slide all the way up into the hood of the bag where I’m supposed to be. Possibly even 6 inches of length left before I run out of room in the foot box. For those of you who do find this product to be a little tight just unzip it completely and flip it over the top of you and it makes a wonderful 0 degree blanket. This is how I sleep with this bag every single night. Since I got this bag I have not used our comforter. I like to sleep cold. My wife and I set our air conditioner at 62 degrees and we always have a box fan on high so our bedroom is quite cold at night. I have this bag laying on my side of the bed and I use it exclusively now. it is still August therefore I cannot test it in really cold temperatures so that is why I am only giving it for Starz because I do not yet know how it will perform on Say a 10 degree night. Not yet. All the reviewers who say this bag will not keep you warm are using the bag incorrectly. If you use the bag properly and do everything you are supposed to do this bag will keep you plenty warm and temperatures down into the 30s. The way sleeping bag ratings work is that the bag has a certain comfort zone but an example is this 0 degree bag will keep you alive down to the temperatures at or close to 0° if and ONLY IF you do everything else properly. a zero-degree rating does not mean you will sleep warm and cozy in zero-degree weather it means you will survive 0 degree weather. You will be cold. However you will not die in the night from exposure. Realistically this bag is really good at 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit as far as you rolling yourself into it and sleeping warm. It is a very comfortable bag. the only issue I have ever had with this bag is that when it was brand new the zipper did not operate very well. This is because it needs a break-in period. You need to zip and unzip the bag fully about half a dozen times and the zipper becomes used to the action and gets easier. Now I have no trouble with the zipper at all. It just needed to be used. I love this bag so much I will be purchasing a second one for my wife. oh, and by the way. You know how I said you could just unzip the bag and flip it over the top of yourself and use it as a zero degree blanket? This bag is large enough when unzipped that if you and your partner or anyone else who needs to keep warm with you lay side-by-side and close to each other you can both share the foot box and the bag opens up essentially as a large V shape and is big enough to cover two people. My wife and I have used this bag in tandem so although it is only supposed to be 4 sitting one person snugly if you unzip it you can use it to cover two people and keep very warm because you will have body heat from both of you under the fabric. This is what would make it a very handy survival essential for a cold night. if you are sleeping in a situation where you are going to be in below-freezing weather you should already have some kind of a bed or something under you anyway whether it is a stuff sack filled with leaves and grasses and pine needles or something else. therefore conduction and convection are battled from underneath so all you need is the one cover and this will do more than adequately for two people. My wife and I are both considered obese buy BMI standards and it covers both of us very adequately and we both sleep well using it as a blanket and not just a one-man sleeping bag. This was a very nice surprise to find that I could use this bag in such a way. so to make a very long story short if you have a problem being inside the bag with it except because it is extremely tight and perhaps you suffer from claustrophobia as long as you have a good bed underneath you of whatever material you can make one out of the bag works perfectly as a zero degree blanket. No claustrophobia issues and you will sleep nice and warm. Also if you happen to be heavier-set and maybe just can’t fit the bag because of excess body weight this also negates that issue and allows you to use this bag.

   Very comfortable

   I just got this sleeping bag and cannot wait to try it out on a cold night. I did get in it for a few minutes to see how it felt, and to be honest if it was cold in my home, I could have easily took a long after work nap right then and there… this thing could make a guy lazy… Lol. This bag is so comfortable it’s amazing, like laying in a giant marshmallow… not that I’ve ever done that, I can only imagine it. Before I bought this I read lots of reviews, I noticed the biggest issue with most was getting the bag back in the cover. So, before I used this, the very first thing I did was slowly pull it out the cover, and unrolled it taking notice how the factory did it, from there I just simply reversed the process and it went right back in the cover. However, in doing so it’s not so easy, it does require you to keep it “tightly” rolled up while putting it back in… you can’t let it get loose, gotta “keep” it tight. After two successful tries it got easier to do, it’s a bit tough but it is doable. I would however recommend flipping the cover inside out first, this way it can be practically rolled back on the bag from the top side, so that draw string doesn’t catch. Fighting that draw string will hang you up and the bag could get loose on ya.One thing I was concerned about was the size of the bag, it says for big and tall, but to be honest I don’t see that it is??? I’m only 5’9″, 155lbs, I had room to spare but I could not imagine or like it if this bag was any smaller. I don’t see how a big person could be comfortable in this solely for that reason, not from the lack of comfort but from the lack of room. Personally I like some moving around room, so it fit perfect for me, but if you’re bigger and don’t mind snug then you might be happy with it. If you’re real big, you might wanna look for a bigger bag… just sayin.Overall it’s a good purchase, and from using it for even a few minutes I had to get out of it cause it was getting pretty warm really quick. It’s designed for cold temps, but I bet if you used a thermal maylar blanket inside of it, you could easily use it well below zero temps.And for those who may not know this, before you sleep in a sleeping bag outside, or even inside a tent, always law news papers down under the bag, or something equivalent, and never sleep in the clothes you wore that day. The news paper will keep moisture off the bag from the ground, and the clothes you wore will draw moisture during the day, which will make you feel colder at night even inside a sleeping bag. Always change your clothes before you sleep while camping, you do NOT want to trap moisture inside a sleeping bag at night, “dry” is the key and keeping a sleeping bag covered while not in use is imperative… fact!

   best bag ive ever had

   ive had 5 er 6 bags and spent over 150$ on one of um and this one has been awesome. i got this at the usual fast rate of about 2 weaks, wich is perty damn fast if you live in the middle of nowhere, by nowhere i mean alaska, the cold part of alaska, all of it. ive spent 2-3 night out in the woods 10-15 miles from any structurally sound building capable of retaining any heat, on several occasions at temps down to -40 and sorry but you are slitly messed up if you think one bag is gonna be nough so what you do is take the 2 or three bags you have and put um inside of eachother acording to size smallest to largest and hope and pray you still have yer famly gewels when you wake up in the morning, if you even do that much, any way ive always used 3, but i only need 2 now that i have this sucker but as fer huntin and hickin its awesome by its self, ide recomend not using this by itself if you know it will drop below 20 degrees, as you know if youve done any over nights in the cold the rating on the sleaping bag is a sugestion, more like, you might survive down to 0 but you wont have fun. its a great bag though im a fuzz over 6 ft and its a tit bit snug with full carheartt and a 30-06 stuffed in there , but minuce the carheartt and its fine and its good to be a bit snug itll keep yuh warmer, where i live you gotta have a bit of room fer som kind of hardwear, bears are mighty curious sons of biscuts. its comparable to a marment 0 degree and less then half the price so if all your lookin fer is to spend money fer a fancy name then by all means be a sped, but im no million doller man so ill stick with cheap as i can get it. it dousnt compress down real small but its doable and its resonably light weight. ,… also not recomended that you snowmachine your sleaping bags up to a shelter in the woods in a sled next to a gass can with a leaky cap thats just askin fer a hangover without the buzz. any way highly recomended and i would know, my life has depended on this bag several times and never left me hangin, i guess you could say it has more interest in my well being then my woman does. take that with a grain of salt.

   Kept me toasty warm in 20 degree weather!

   Purchased this for elk hunting in the winter. Lowest the temps have gotten is in the 20’s and one night it was snowing, but I stayed perfectly warm in a tent with this sleeping bag. I’m 5’9, 200, and there is plenty of room inside it for me. I don’t feel cramped and my feet do not touch the end. The bag fits snug around my shoulders (but not uncomfortable tight) which helps keep in warm air throughout the night. On a few occasions, I’ve had to unzip the bag during the night to let cool air in. My only complaint, and it’s not enough to drop a star, but the carrying bag this comes in is very small. It sometimes takes 2 people to put this sleeping bag back into the carrying case.*** Update ***After using this bag a few more times for camping, I’ve figured out how to properly roll it up so it goes into the carrying bag more easily. Start at the top of the bag and fold it in half length ways. 3/4 down the bag where it tapers to a smaller size, leave that part unfolded. As you roll the bag up, the small end should be the same width as the top half when its folded. This will reduce the thickness of the bag when rolled up, and it will go into the carrying bag much easier.At first, I would fold the bag in half lengthways, all the way down, then roll it up. This was making it too bulky to fit properly in the bag and would take 2 people to put it in. Now, I can roll it up and have it back in the bag in about a minute.I’ve attached some pictures that show the dimensions of the sleeping bag rolled up in the carrying bag. This may be helpful for anyone that is planning on using this bag for backpacking, but not sure if it will be too bulky. Also, so you can see how the size of this bag compares to a larger sleeping bag, I took a picture of it laying on top of a Teton XXL sleeping bag.Dimensions: – Length from end to face opening: 73″ – Width at the shoulders: 30″

   Not ment for colder temps

   I’ve used this sleeping bag camping twice. The first time, overnight temperatures were in the mid 60s. I was perfectly comfortable, and never got cold. During the second camping trip, overnight temperatures were in the low 50s. With temperatures this low, the sleeping bag didn’t hold in the heat. I was absolutely freezing all night. I got no sleep as I was kept awake shivering all night. If you plan to use this sleeping bag in mild-ish overnight temperatures, it’s a good choice. However, I wouldn’t use it in temperatures below 60 degrees if you want to stay warm.

    I was too big!

    I have a 52” chest and did not fit in this bag.
