The bags are great because of the size and warmth, but we have three of these and all three zippers failed on the second use, so you kind of lose the benefit if you can't close the bag.
Great bag for price. Did some backpacking up in Baxter state park temps got into low 30s and with Sweat pants and a long T-shirt was plenty warm.
This bag surprised me. It is warmer and more comfortable than I expected. On warmer nights it keeps me warm enough without feeling sweaty. But my surprise came on some colder snowy nights. It kept me warm without the need of a liner. Although I still like to use liners. It helps protect the bag and keep it clean. It is much easier to wash a liner than a bag. Any ways. For the money it is an awesome bag.
Bought this budget bag for a trip out west. The zipper broke on night two. No go!
Good quality bag and seems warm just testing it out on a 50 degree evening (just wrapping it around me on my porch). Also seems spacious. It is lightweight but it's VERY bulky - I would not consider taking it backpacking! But it would be an excellent car camping bag.
I was looking for something suitable for northern Wisconsin late spring through early fall. This bag, at the unboxing, seems like it will be fine. It looks better than I expected, and the inside feels like it should be comfortable. I’ll find out in a week when I use it on a long weekend with the wife.
