What's in the Box? Celsius XL sleeping bag, compression sack Amazon.com Sleeping Bag Guide 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.

Great for the price, and roomy! March 30, 2010 Frank T. Steele (Phoenix, AZ USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The coldest I have taken this bag down to is 20° F. I was plenty warm and I am a cold sleeper. I always recommend to my scout parents to add 10 degrees to any bag they are going to buy for a scout, to get a better idea of the rating. I generally have to add 15 (For cheap bags under $250), but I think this bag can go below 20° F even for me.
This bag is very roomy, for car camping I do not like having a mummy bag. This is one of the roomiest bags I have ever been in. If you are getting cold in the teens and 20's put something on for heavens sake. You probably already have warm clothes with you at camp, wear em. A good pair of polypro thermals (Wool is better of you can afford it) will add warmth and protect the inside of the bag (less need to clean).
Great value!! March 28, 2010 John Kechter (Strasburg, CO USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased one of these bags 2 years ago and I liked it so well that I purchased a 2nd one for my wife with the opposing zipper. These bags are very warm and comfortable. We slept in a tent during elk season in the Colorado Rockies and neither of us got cold. A couple of the nights we even got a little warm. I like the mummy style top and the squared off foot is really nice. The quality of the construction is very good and they don't have cold spots along the zipper like so many bags do. I have down sleeping bags but I prefer these unless I'm going to be out is sub zero temperatures. I think that these bags are a tremendous value for the price.
It's very warm, but..... January 12, 2010 SAB (DENTON, NC United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you are interested in unzipping it and spreading it out to connect with another bag, it is sewn across at the foot. It may be connectable but it's not spreadable. Also, the outer fabic is very insulating however, it makes a crinkly rustle sound when you move that might interfere with your or your companion's rest. Other than that is is very warm and cozy.
Nice and big! January 2, 2010 W. Sidwell 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got this for my husband and he is 6'2 and 220lbs and he has enough room in there to add me! It's huge and really nice.
Good bag, Good price December 29, 2009 You Don't Know (Phoenix, AZ) This is the second bag I have bought recently and this is the far better one. If you are tall or wide and don't like mummy bags due to the restrictive nature, this bag will suit you fine. It is warm and comfortable with plenty of room. The extended top make a great place for a pillow. It comes with a case and is the right weight to hiking too.
