Slumberjack Big Timber -20F Long Right Sleeping Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This sleeping bag is really great. It is far warmer than my other nylon bags, and comparable to a 6 inch thick down comforter. And I mean that in a good way. The cotton duck outer (like soft canvas) and comfy flannel inner is just awesome - and QUIET. I just love the quietness. All my older bags have been nylonwhich make a lot of rustling noises which bother me everytime I move (and anyone else trying to sleep nearby).

This SlumberJack Big Timber long sleeping bag is so cushy soft you almost don't need an air mattress. But you'll sleep better if you do have one. I can highly recommend the ThermaRest Base Camp air mattress. It's really great, and last for dozens of years! Therm-a-Rest Base Camp (Large) The one thing to be aware of is that no air mattress does well if you leave it all blown up in a hot trailer. It will pOp! or at least get a slow leak. If I hadn't done that, I'd still be using the same ThermaRest I got in the 1980's and slept on sharp rocks & broken glass without a puncture nor leak. Tough! So deflate it some before you leave it for the day (or season) and you'll never have a problem.

This sleeping bag has a BIG square foot end, so there is tons of unrestricted room for feet. Totally opposite of mummy bags. Zipper is good quality metal. I sometimes feel a slight draft near the zipper, but this bag is so warm that is ok - just slightly refreshing. This bag is wider than most, which is ok - I have plenty of room. But it might be a squeeze in a small tent. This is NOT a backpacking bag. It's too bulky & heavy to lug around all day. But it's perfect for car camping! It's possible to use this bag in the summer, but you will be opening it just to cool off about half the time. Get yourself another sleeping bag for summer.

This is the most comfortable winter sleeping bag I have ever had, and I'm happy to recommend it now.

EDIT: I actually have the 0 degree bag. I still love it.

Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

Ledge Featherlite Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this bag a little over two years ago. I needed something cheap and didn't want to spend $400 bucks on a top of the line Big Agnes. The bag is awesome. Perfect for backpacking. Super light. It has worked great. Have no desire to buy a nice feathered downed even if I had the money to do so. The synthetic works great. One huge plus for me was the bag it comes in has six straps attached to it so you can tighten and compact the bag to about 10" x 12". Would definitely buy this one again.

Eddie Bauer® Polyester Fill Mummy Sleeping Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Wenzel Tundra Oversize Hollow Core -10-Degree Sleeping Bag with Hood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)About two years ago, I bought a Wenzel +25 degree oversize bag and fell in love with it the first night because of the comfort and roominess inside.I have been wanting a mate to it that could go to lower temperatures in the early spring and fall and decided to try this bag.

This bag has quite a bit more padding in it than my older bag and is like climbing intoa fluffy cloud that wraps around you and I have slept in 30 degree temps in complete comfort. This is one of the most comfortable bags I have ever slept in.

The zipper is double ended so you can unzip the bottom to let the feet breathe in warmer weather and still have the side zipped up. There is a velcro strap that goes above the zipper that holds the two halves of the bag together so that if you do a lot of turning in the night like I do, the zipper won't come unzipped.Very nice feature that I wish was on my other bag. There is also a fairly large padded strip behind the zipper that does a good job of keeping the cold from coming in through the zipper.

The large hood has a drawstring on it so that you can close it in around your face similar to a mummy bag.

One of the big things for me is the size of the bag.I am 6'3" tall and 210 lbs and I really love the room this bag has to offer both in length and width. I have plenty of room for my feet and I can turn over with ease.

The outside cover is a cotton like material that grips the flocked top of my air mattress and prevents the bag from sliding off in the middle of the night even with a lot of tossing and turning. This was a real problem for me with another bag I had that had a nylon covering.

All in all after having a number of trips with this bag this summer in a wide range of temps I haven't found any cons to this bag other than not wanting to get out of it in the morning.

Wenzel 2008 Windy Pass 0-Degree Mummy Sleeping Bag (Black/Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok let me start by saying I'm researching survival stuff (best bang for the buck). The one thing I wanted to let people know is you may get cold at zero degrees or 15 degrees but you will be alive the next day, that is something that people get confused on with sleeping bags. Now, after I got this bag out I climbed inside remembering the previous reviews on ripping fabric I carefully zipped it up and could reall feel the bag heating up. Everything was going fine with a little care until I tried to close the top red part around my head with the pull tie.....it ripped, fabric tore, stitching popped, and I was instantly disappointed because of how a few little odd ends can ruin a great product. The bags tearing in certain areas kills the deal for me, I'll try and repair it but don't have alot of faith it will hold together for future use. Find a better bag to buy guys

Product Description:
Wenzel, the original family camping company, has long felt that next to a quality tent, a good sleeping bag is the most important necessity when it comes to enjoying the camping experience. It's tough to appreciate the outdoors if you can't get a good night's sleep, which is why Wenzel offers a sleeping bag for every temperature range.
The 33-by-84-inch (W x H) Windy Pass sleeping bag is an affordable, mummy-style bag rated to a chilly zero degrees Fahrenheit. A built-in drawstring hood helps keep body heat in, and 56-ounces of non-allergenci Omega II polyester fill will keep you toasty throughout the night. A full-length three-inch draft tube and five-inch shoulder collar ensure comfort every evening, and the polyester inner and outer layers feature offset quilt construction for maximum warmth and durability. A self-repairing, two-way zipper with anti-snag tape will hold up over years of heavy use. The Windy Pass includes an Oxford stuff sack that compresses with two elastic straps.
About Wenzel Camping Gear
Wenzel, established in 1887 and originally an outfitter for explorers and pioneers, was one of the first family camping equipment companies in America. It's Wenzel's mission to help families remember the times of 10 miles a day, not 75 miles an hour, to spend time listening to chirping birds and babbling brooks, not pinging instant messages and ringing cell phones.
The company seeks to create the modern tools that families require to escape to and reconnect with the great outdoors. Each Wenzel product is run through a very specialized filter--Wenzel employees' families. Wenzel knows what family camping is like, which is why the company makes tents that are easy to set up and take down, sleeping bags that feel big and cozy but pack small, and pads that smooth out the roughest forest floor. Wenzel strives to be an ambassador to the great outdoors, encouraging families to return to the place where memories are made.
