   Superb Sleeping Bag
   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.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. For my purposes though, this is basically perfect!

   Awesome bag – grab a liner
   I was an Eagle Scout and we’ve used these bags a few times in temps down to freezing, and they work great if you get a fleece bag liner and put it in there. We were really nice and toasty warm.PROS:- HUGE – really really big. I’m 6ft and not small, and there’s loads of extra room. If you don’t like being cramped, look no further.- WARM – It’s actually pretty darn warm on it’s own.- GOOD ZIPPERS – they’re on the left if you’re laying in the bag, and they work well without getting caught a lot.- TWO ZIPPERS – One down the side and one on the bottom. Why is this good? Zippers tend to have issues going around corners, and this seems to help.- ZIPPER DRAFT TUBE – Huh? They made an extra…insulated tube of fabric next to the zippers running lengthwise that helps keep air out. And it’s made of tougher material almost like a backpack which means…drum roll…the zipper finally doesn’t get caught on the bag itself!!!- GOOD HOOD – The hood is really nice and roomy, like put a full size pillow in it roomy. If you sinch it up with the draw string you can have a face-size opening.- FLEECE FOOT – the inside bottom foot and a half has an extra layer of warm fleece.- BURROW – I like to kind of burrow down in a sleeping bag and there’s so much room you can bend your legs, sleep on your side, have your arm curled under your head, and there’s just so much room. I can put my fee at the very bottom and have the opening above my head.- LOOKS COOL – I know, it’s a sleeping bag and how cool do you expect it to look, really? But it really does look pretty cool.CONS:- BIG – We put them in stuff sacks that sinch down and they’re still pretty big bags.- NOT FOR BACKPACKING – like everyone says.HOW TO SLEEP WARMER:- Put an inexpensive and washable fleece liner inside the bag. There’s plenty of room. It adds to the warmth significantly.- Change your clothes before you sleep. During the day your clothes get moisture from your own body heat. Change before you sleep and not only will you be warmer, having clean clothes inside the bag makes it stay cleaner.- Don’t over-dress. Start off in like shorts and a t-shirt, no socks, and you’ll be warm without sweating. If you start off too warm, you’ll build up heat, sweat, and then be colder.- Put your extra layers down in the foot. Got a sweatshirt you’ll probably wear in the morning? Shove it down in the foot. There’s room, and it’ll be warm when you’re ready for it in the morning.- Wear a beanie, helps with heat loss on your head if you stick your head out for fresh air.FLEECE LINER:We used something like this (though not this exact one) and it gets even warmer.https://www.amazon.com/Stansport-Fleece-Sleeping-Bag-Red/dp/B002YXITMW/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=fleece+sleeping+bag+liner&qid=1592870476&sr=8-7STUFF SACK:We used a compression stuff sack like this and were able to fit the sleeping bag and the fleece liner in it together.https://www.amazon.com/Lewis-N-Clark-Compression-Drawstring/dp/B079JRVVD1/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=lewis+n.+clark+compression+sack&qid=1592870350&sr=8-4

   36 yo male winter camping from NE to VA – 2 January 2025

   Excellent, LARGE, Cold weather sleeping bag!!!
   I’ve done a fair amount of camping, in all seasons. I have light bags for short backpacking trips, regular off the shelf bags for general use. This bag is different. Since the pandemic started I’ve been flying less and “car camping” in my Suburban, as I “commute” for shift work. As cold weather approached I wanted something that would keep me warm from Omaha NE to Virginia. But more so then warm, I wanted space. I’m older and fatter, and the thought of car camping in a mummy bag wasn’t appealing. At 5′ 10″ and 260 pounds, I’ve had space to roll over on my side with my knees up, and close to a foot of extra length. Also, inside the foot area of the bag, is an additional material, that’s extra warm and soft. I’ve slept in this bag down to 8 degrees this 2020/2021 winter in Ohio/Missouri. I’ve used it 10-12 times in the last few months. I would absolutely buy another, and recommend to anyone wanting COLD weather warmth to do the same. Its also pretty clutch in mildly cool temps in the 50s/60s, but better used as a “blanket”, hang a leg out to stay cool and your GTG.If I had one complaint its that the stuff bag it comes with is more of a “standard” size, and after stuffing this luxurious monster in there a few times the string broke and 1/4 of the bag hangs out. A larger compressive “stuff bag” will be ordered soon.I don’t doubt this bag, and with wind protection, it would be adequate for zero degree temps. BUY IT, you wont be disappointed, unless you try to use it in the summer, then you might sweat to death.

   This thing is huge! I usually sleep a bit spread out, which is impossible in a mummy type sleeping bag, but this has all the room to do that. I get super cold when camping and even got a fleece inner lining at the same time i bought this, but i didn’t even need it. Slept in my undies at 5celsius since it is so warm in there. The foot area is nice and fleece lined too with a double zipper if you want your feet out. The only downside is how huge it is to carry around, definitely only foe car camping.

   I took this Beautiful Coleman sleeping bag out of the box, it is massive but light when you carry it in your arms and inside it beautiful to be there and warm.It is very warm even with a tshirt inside. It is massive, enormous but I love it.I am 5ft6 and I like the sleeping bag big but Amazon product description says it can fit big and tall 6ft. 6 in. It is not too big for me.I know at least it will fit me or someone bigger and taller.I love the material and it seems to be of excellent quality, very well made.I could close the hood with ease once inside, I could feel the warmth even on my forehead.That is how warm it is.Personally I like the zip on this Coleman sleeping bag being on its left handside despite being righthanded.The zips do not catch, they are strong.I did not try to completely open the sleeping bag because I think in theory it could be done and then I would have a massive warm duvet as a cover. But I did not want to unzip it all completely and then find out I had difficulties zipping it back up again.The inside of the feet area is very warm and is red.I could fit the sleeping bag inside the bag it came in within 8 minutes I would say.The way I received it, is the hole width along its length was folded in half and then rolled inside the bag.So I copied that exactly.I folded the sleeping bag in half ie from left to right shoulder, then I rolled the sleeping bag from the feet area toward the hood, by pressing the sleeping bag as I rolled in towards the sofa.Then I put it under my right arm, but the biggest part ie where the hood was too big to put in first inside the bag.So I inserted the smaller side first and little by little pushed it in rolling the bag also.About midway I pulled in the remaining bag so that it would be tight on its end ( as I had difficulties pushing the rest of the sleeping bag in) and then it was easier to put the sleeping bag inside its bag.I am so happy with this sleeping bag. Warm. Of great quality. It is mine.

   暖かい！10月の秋、飯能でキャンプ、10℃で外は寒かったですが、シュラフはめちゃくちゃ暖かく、寝汗かきました笑11月初旬はふもとっぱらへたしか朝方の6℃くらいはほんのり寒さを感じましたが、暖かい飲み物を飲んで二度寝できるレベルでした。しかも上・下1枚で笑0℃くらいまでは中に極暖きて、シュラフの上に毛布かければいけるかなー？

   Just the best night’s sleep you can have comma initially I tried to put it in its stuff sack by folding it and rolling it and that does not work you have to literally stuff it in the bag to get it in but what a fantastic night sleep, it’s awesome.
