Cheap, available, waterproof.,
This sleeping bag is certainly the right price for the occasional camper, and since it’s in stock at Amazon (at least when I bought it) a great choice when a camping trip comes up fast. I don’t bother to use the attached bungee cords to pack it up, preferring to stuff it into a stuff sack, but they do work nicely. I’m not crazy about the feel of the lining…if I’d had more time I’d prefer to spring for flannel-lined, and maybe an extra-wide bag, but for a once in a while sleeping bag I can make do. Because of the price and availability, I’m giving this a high 4star mark!

|Nice Sleeping Bag, Great Price.,
This review at the moment is based off my general first impression of this sleeping bag. I considered many other bags before making a purchase as I am getting back into camping and have a trip coming up this weekend. This sleeping bag is pretty comfortable, nice and thick. The color is not what’s depicted in the stock photo but more of a blood red (think Valentine’s Day heartshaped candy box). I’m actually loving the color, it’s not flamboyant and it’s sort of comforting as it’s a muted red and not bright on the eyes. I actually decided to buy this item based off other reviewers who claimed the color was darker (which is what I wanted). The lining feels comfortable but it’s the kind of material you can easily snag on your finger nails or rough skin. I would suggest moisturizing or a liner 🙂 the sleeping bag came nicely compacted in a bag, which I had trouble returning to that state. Basically the zipper on the side which makes the bag expandable I cannot rezip. The bag however did roll nicely and will fit in the bag’s extended state. I will be field testing this weekend and will follow up on it’s actual performance. In the meantime I am happy with this purchase and looking forward to several camping trips this year. On a side note, Amazon rocks and shipped this (and a tent) lightening fast so now I have plenty of time to air out my new gear.

So I went on my weekend camping trip up to the Catskills (NY) and I am happy to report that this sleeping bag performed great! It got very cold up in those mountains and this sleeping bag kept me warm and comfortable – slept like a baby!

|Great bag IF you can sleep in socks!,
I am a bit of a pansy camper and I like to be comfortable. For me, this means a queen size air mattress and two sleeping bags zipped together. This sleeping bag fit the bill as the price was right. I zipped two of them together with little effort and climbed into bed and was toasty warm and comfy. If fact, even though the temps got down to the 40’s, I found that I was warm enough to take off my smart wool socks. BIG MISTAKE! The lining on this bag is the dreaded type of material that catches every rough patch of skin or nail. It was CRAZY! I immediately put my socks back on, stuck my feet out of the bag to cool off and went back to sleep. I think for the price, it is a good bag, but be aware that the lining is a SNAG MONSTER!
