The North Face  Dolomite One Sleeping Bag

I love this bag for our scout adventures in Florida and the Georgia Mountains. I have an R4 pad/mat. Rarely the temp is below 30, but when it is I take the whole bag. Most times, I take parts. Blue part for down to 50 degree F and Orange for below 50 to 30. I use a hot water bottle to help the bag warm up process and have learned to keep my head covered. Thankfully I’m short so I can pull the bag tight around the top of my head and sleep inside the bag. It gives me plenty of room to move that I can’t get in a mummy bag. Go summer camp- lows of 50 a I only used the blue part as a quilt rather than the whole bag. It just gives me so many options. I recommend this for our scouts as a good purchase to give them one item that fits many situations. My tent got rained out at summer camp and my bed was wet without access to a dryer. The bag still kept me warm for the night and rested - if a little pruney - in the morning when I could hang it to dry.

At nearly 6 pounds, this bag packs down to about the size of an entire 65 liter bag. 15 degree rating is very far off. This bad is really not warm at all.

I purchased this for my daughter for Scouts. The bag rating is not accurate at all. With a R 5 pad, alpaca tights, alpaca sweater, and a hat on my daughter froze in 45 degree weather using the 15 degree setup.

I got this bag for cold nights car camping- it did not disappoint! It is large but the ability to zip bags apart for different conditions means it’s really two bags in one. Spent the night in 20° and it was toasty!

Have not yet used it in the wild, but I'm looking forward to it. I had some concerns based on other reviews when considering this and another NF bag online, but seeing it in person, I was sold. But then the challenge getting assistance to buy it began. First trip to look I could not find anyone to assist me, so continued on to other departments and decided to return another time, when I had more of it. Second attempt I finally found a less than helpful and knowledgeable team member who reluctantly came over and was unable to offer any assistance nor get anyone else that had some bag knowledge. I did get some great help in shoes that day and bought some Oboz hiking boots I love and will review separately. Third visit FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUYING A SLEEPING BAG, after looking on my own and waiting for someone to come over for about 5 minutes, I went and found someone stocking near the register who was helpful and did get a couple of bags down for me and then got a "bag specialist" who, honestly, did not provide helpful info or answers to questions. I'm somewhat a novice and looking to upgrade my camping game and gear. I decided without assistance on this bag, which I LOVE based on store and home inspection and expect it will be a great all around car camping bag. I had the "bag expert" pull one from stock and off to the register I went. Fortunately I closely examined the tag prior to purchase and noticed he gave me a LONG size, not the regular size like the floor model I looked at and requested. He seemed annoyed I asked him to swap it for the one I requested, but complied. Honestly, this is the only REI where I regularly struggle to find assistance and feel welcome.
