Shopping for sleeping bags is overwhelming. There are just so many bags available. I did a good bit of research before purchasing ours. Of course, I wanted something that would keep us warm.
Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top warm weather synthetic sleeping bags. I used this bag from February of 2002 to June of 2002 on the Appalachian Trail, and I still have it. The first night out it was less than 14 degrees F, and I had at least 50 nights under 40 degrees F. I can’t say I was warm, but I wasn’t shivering, freezing, or cold either, although I did wear 2 layers of clothing.
Pairing these strategies together made it reasonably comfortable at that temperature. The bag on its own is very comfortable down to the 30-degree range. I cannot believe that I wasted 160 dollars on some junk. I bought four sleeping bags for camping. By the time we got back from camping the next weekend three out of four sleeping bags had the zippers broken. I’m so disappointed with this product that I advise anyone buying sleeping bags not to even look at Ozark and buy Coleman instead.
The rectangular shape provides more legroom so you can sleep comfortably and roll from side to side. For even more space or to make it into a two-person Ozark Trail Camping Chairs bag, zip two bags together to double the size. With the return of the colder weather, it is time to pull out our winter sleeping bags.
Mummy bags are very effective for keeping warm, but I am not comfortable in a confining bag. We bought two Ozark Trail 30-Degree Sleeping Bags. We have stayed nicely warm while sleeping in the cold in this bag. Rated for 30-degrees, we have slept in it down to 13.
Guided by experts, we spend hours looking into the factors that matter, to bring you these selections. Comes with pillows and side storage pockets. Hooded top keeps your head warm at night. I think the expensive bags are just marketing and overengineering, unless you are going to the arctic.
