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.
I bought the zero degree bag and nearly froze to death. This is more like a 40 degree bag rating. Day one, night one…the zipper tore and cord in hood broke. Day 2 …it was closer to 6 degree and I froze…I had to hike into town, replace the bag.
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.
I would not recommend this product to anyone unless I wanted them to freeze and get a terrible night’s sleep. I nearly froze to death on the trail, and craftsmanship is garbage (to put it mildly). The bag is machine-washable and the lightweight design fits easily in both the washer and dryer.
This sleeping bag does not unzip all the way around and cannot be connected to other sleeping bags. Browse Ozark Trail’s top-rated sleeping bags and pads and more. The sleeping ozark trail tent bag I now use is Ozark Trail. This sleeping bag I always sleep in @ night @ home because I like it better than a regular blanket. I even use it during the winter as well.
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 tent 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.
