   Remarkable Summer Sleeping Bag
   I had a back surgery a while back that left me worse off than before. Now I need to sleep on the floor as the mattress my wife will not give up is too soft for me. So my bed until my back recovers is a 1″ self inflatable mat with a sleeping bag on top. My previous sleeping bag was not long enough or wide enough. The inside of it was a flannel like material which was extremely hot for sleeping in the house. That is why I purchased the Venture 4th XXL sleeping bag. Here are my thoughts.The Good: This bag is more than long enough for me. I am 6′ but it could easily accommodate a taller person. The bag is wide. I can literally spread my legs fully (think jumping jacks or snow angel). This was a welcome surprise. The inner material is like a hotel comforter or a satin like finish, cool to the touch, but able to warm. We keep our thermostat at 69 degrees at night and being zipped up in the bag I was comfortably warm and was never hot. I also sleep with a half moon bolster type pillow between my knees or under my knees and the bag accommodated this with no sacrifices. Incredible! Also when folded and placed in its case it is very compact and extremely light.The bad: The hood feature is quirky. It has a draw string through the hood and into the bag body crumpling the body of the bag and the hood together limiting the nice width around my shoulders. I find this very uncomfortable and nearly unworkable. I would prefer the draw string just be in the hood like a hoodie on a sweat shirt. Also I saw a video when purchasing this bag about the clean zipper. The zipper teeth are relatively small and do get caught on the inner lining like every sleeping bag in the world. I had a devil of a time zipping this thing up from inside the bag. It would get caught every 5 or 6 inches or so.The Ugly: Nothing this bag meets all my needs. I don’t need the hood and the zipper is par for the course.Summary: I cannot speak to durability. But for what you get for the money it is well worth it and fits my application to a tee. My review would have been 5 stars except for the hood and zipper.A quick update on 8/6/2024. I have been sleeping in this bag now for 21 straight days. I changed my 4 star rating to 5 stars. Regarding the zipper if you zip from outside the bag I have nearly no issues and certainly less than my previous sleeping bag. It is more an issue of angle when zipping. I now agree with previous statements about a clean zipper. Regarding the hood, my wife had the air extra low, and I am bald, so I used the hood I thought I had no use for. It kept my head warm and was not difficult to use. Finally, I did not realize that this bag had a lifetime warranty. I was contacted by the owner of the company email telling me of the warranty and thanks for buying the bag. Where on God’s green earth do you get owners telling people they got a lifetime warranty? It may have been a one off but Venture4th has my business for life.

   A great bag focused on comfort
   After trying a mummy bag and realizing they’re not great for people with claustrophobia, I started looking for large oversized bags with open areas for the head. Since my family and I will not be proper winter camping nor camping in the wilds, this bag looked like a good fit. I was delighted when I opened the package and found the bag to be roomy, comfortable, soft, and very insulating despite the extra space. I really do think it’s an amazing bag and I really appreciate the extra room!

   Great value, pretty nice bag
   Recently was looking for a sleeping bag for above 30 degrees and decided to try this one. First trip our it was unseasonably cold and night lows were in the 30’s. Didn’t really expect the sleeping bag to be comfortable at 34 degrees and was surprised after 2 nights in the 30’s and was pretty warm all night. They are comfortable and seem so far to be durable material. I tllike that is has a head draw string and is a straight bag. Was able to pull it over my head, stay warm and not feel like I was being suffocated. The compression sack it comes in leaves alot to be desired and I will be replacing. The sleeping bag over all I would recommend and buy again. I would say is as good as some of the bags I own that I have paid over $100 for.

   Great bag!
   Light weight but the keep you warm. Super easy to get back in the storage bag without working up a sweat shoving it in. Such an upgrade from our old, thick Coleman bags that were huge and tied with little strings. I also like the extra large size and long length so I can roll around in it and not be squished in like a mummy.

   Great Bag
   I read reviews before I bought this. The reviews were spot on. Bag is very roomy. I’m 6’1″ 250 lbs and I can stretch my legs out and roll over no problem. You almost forget you’re in a sleeping bag. The inside lining is soft like a blanket. I slept like a baby first night using this. Definitely worth the money and a great buy.

   Light, comfy, and easy to pack.
   I got this bag to use on a work trip where I will be truck camping for a few days.Last time I used one of the costco bags we have had for the last ten years that I never really liked. And it was just to much. I hate the zippers on those bags and i never sleep well in them. And when I have to work construction for ten to twelve hours on 2 or 3 hours of sleep, sucks is not a sufficient word to describe it.This one is pretty awesome. It takes up very little room packed away and is easy to unpack and shake out. It has a mostly traditional long rectangle shape but has a sort of reduced mummy hood that works well for locking your pillow where it belongs. The two way zipper allows you to stick your feet out like some of us like to do the regulate out body heat. The zippers seem to function well without binding in the lining very much. And the lining is very plush. It’s almost like fleece but a little different. I like it a lot. I laid in if for a half hour. My wife then bundled up in it and my daughter slept in it over night on the floor with the lightweight inflatable pad by the same company. Which is another awesome product that I am also reviewing.This bag will keep me warm dawn to the 30’s or 40s without wearing a base layer and could be used with a cheap fleece bag to below freezing if you don’t want to buy a heavy duty sub freezing bag. I would get a military sleep system if I planned to camp in the cold but this will do for most of my needs. If you need a bag for warm to cool camping or as a guest sleeping accessory, this will not disappoint.

    Muy calientito, a pesar de que sí hacía mucho frío y viento, con el sleeping bag dormimos súper cómodos y muy a gusto, ni se sintió el frío.
