Goose Down 0 Degree Sleeping Bag made by High Peak Review

Goose Down 0 Degree Sleeping Bag made by High Peak
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
this is the only down bag I have ever owned but so far it seems great.it has good loft and is more comfortable than my synthetic bag and packs to half the size of my 30 degree bag.In the picture it's blue and red but mine came blue and orange. The mummy hood is a rad design and it has 2 pockets on the inside.It is also ridiculously cheaper than comparable bags.

Columbia Fleece Sleeping Bag Review

Columbia Fleece Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bag has a full length zipper to enable it to open like a blanket.It also has a small velcro piece at the top to keep the bag from unzipping while you sleep.The blue and green polyester areas of the sleeping bag are a bit slick & slippery, but the tan microfleece liner is soft and comfortable to sleep on.

I haven't tested this in the field yet, but it appears to be a well made, compact & fairly lightweight summer sleeping bag.The specs on Amazon aren't very clear so here is some accurate measurements:

Sleeping Bag = 1261 grams = 2 lbs 12.5 oz
Incl Mesh Bag = 33 grams = 1.2 oz

There are 2 bungies sewn into the outer foot area; When rolled up tightly and fastened with those bungies, it is 6" x 17".(If you compress it in a strong stuff sack, you can probably make it smaller.)The sleeping bag only fills about 80% of the included mesh bag, so I plan to roll up my silk sleeping sheet inside also.

Hope you found this review to be helpful.

About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.
Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign.
The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Texsport Tenderfoot Sleeping Bag Review

Texsport Tenderfoot Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I understand that the comfort rating in the description has a question mark by it, and I would be more accepting of that, EXCEPT on the package it is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR the the comfort rating is 50 degrees F.
It says it in more than one place, and says it in HUGE type on the front of the package. I wish I could attach a picture to show it.
Additionally, on another part of the package, it shows that the Tenderfoot sleeping bag is comfortable from around 45degrees, to around 55 degrees, and it has listed the temperature ratings for all of the other Texsport sleeping bags.
(if you want one that is rated for 40 degrees, get the one called the "Caprock".)
Other than that, the sleeping bag seems to be of good quality, but we haven't used it yet,

Slumberjack Ultimate 20F Long Left Sleeping Bag Review

Slumberjack Ultimate 20F Long Left Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off I want to dispel both of the bad reviews that were written.No offense, but I'm assuming these two are not backpackers and that is what this bag is intended for.Yes it's light and not fluffy, that's why it only weighs a little over 1lb without the stuff sack.As far as 20 degrees, it's like the other person said, temperature is relative to the person.I'm a hot person so this bag suits me down to the rating and then some.The guy who said he couldn't get the bag back in the sack probably has never used a stuff sack in his life, I actually can get the bag small enough to fit in the sack + my pillow as well, so I have no idea what he's talking about.I give this bag for the price to weight ratio 4 stars, I don't think you can't find a better bargain.

Product Description:
Double offset, differential cut construction eliminates cold spots.Flip Over Hood allows users to flip the hood inside out giving the option of a flat hood or a fully contoured hood.Easy Access Drawcords with Barrel Lock Closures permit closure of drawcords on hood and storm collar.The cords are either flat or round, allowing users to easily adjust storm collars and hoods in low light situations.Hook and Loop Closures provide firm closure of the bag and prevent zippers from separating or opening.Anti-Snag Zipper Protection is sewn along the draft tube and zipper to ensure reliable zipper operation.Internal Collars are baffles sewn to the liner, used to prevent heat loss from the neck and shoulders.Draft Tubes are baffles sewn adjacent to the zipper to keep cold air out and prevent heat loss through the zipper coils.Weather Wedge is a small piece of triangular fabric that is sewn at the base of the zipper to prevent heat loss at the zipper's bottom.This also reduces stress at the point where the zipper is sewn for greater durability.Vented Foot Box (patent pending) zips open to provide added room and thermo regulation for maximum comfort in a wide-range of temperatures and environments.Trapezoid Foot Box provides space in which the feet remain in a natural position for better comfort.Compression stuff sack included.

I have tried this with and without the neutralizing tablets, and I can say that I don't mind the taste.

I purchased this bag from Target a few months ago.It's a great cold-weather bag, I've used it in temps down to 20F and have been very toasty in this thing.The removable top layer gives you nice flexibility, and can be used to augment your sleeping pad on warmer nights or as a pillow.My only issues are that it's a little too heavy for backpacking (but what do you expect from a $50 bag?), and it doesn't come with a compression sack.

Average Reviews:

Our family goes camping about once a month and we found we were going through a lot of those little Coleman propane canisters between our stove and lantern.We have a big propane grill at the house so it seemed logical to use that same bulk canister to power our camping appliances.Very simple to use.My only complaint would be the length.If it was another 24" taller it would get the lantern up higher to illuminate more of the campsite.Otherwise, works as advertised.

Black Diamond Bipod Bivy Bag Review

Black Diamond Bipod Bivy Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For side sleepers like me, the Bi-Pod Bivy is way too tight in both the hip and shoulder areas. Also, I use the Therma-Rest NeoAir mattress which when fully inflated takes-up three inches in height.

I have reordered and have received the heavier but far more spacious Tri-Pod Bivy. Its size is just right for me.

The quality of both models is excellent.

I have two complaints with both models. First, the zip-up opening is much too small. The opening should have at least one more foot to facilitate entry into the bivy. Second, I don't understand why the outer seams don't come pre-sealed from the factory. Instead you are sent a tube of sealer and a syringe and must seal it yourself.

Product Description:
The Bibler Bipod Bivy is both functional and comfortable. A shock-corded Easton aluminum pole arches over the head and shoulder area to provide a roomy space so you won't feel claustrophobic. A large zippered entry on the Bipod Bivy provides easy access, great ventilation and rolls back to reveal a generously sized, no-see-um net door. You can check out the stars, feel a pleasant breeze on your face - without the local mosquito masquerade joining your party.

Coleman Fold and Go Camp Pillow (Small, Colors May Vary) Review

Coleman Fold and Go Camp Pillow
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for my boyfriend to use on his camping trip. At first I didn't think he wanted to take it because he usually bundles up his shirts and lays his head on that.. but he brought the pillow with him anyway. When he came back from the trip he told me that everyone was eyeing his pillow and wanted one for themselves. He really liked the pillow. He thought it was comfortable for the size and cost. He folded it in half and used it that way. I don't think it was that soft unless you folded it. You are also able to fold it and tuck it into a nice flap that is located on the back of the pillow for easy storage and it's nice for when you don't have a lot of room in your backpack.

All in all, good purchase. Oh, and it says that the colors vary when you order it. Our pillow came in Red. (just so you know)
