Looking for the perfect sleeping bag for your next backpacking or camping trip? Look through mummy sleeping bags, semi-rectangular sleeping bags and rectangle sleeping bags. Browse through lightweight sleeping bags that are designed with a warm outer shell and a soft inner liner for comfort. The superior box stitching keeps the insulation from shifting to help eliminate cold spots.
However, close-fitting mummy bags, like those designed exclusively for backpacking and alpine pursuits, can feel claustrophobic for most people because there’s not a lot of room to toss and turn. The open footbox design adds space, and the bag has enough room for me to side sleep and bend my knees. The soft flannel lining and pillow gives you extra warmth and comfort from head to toe, while the coleman canopy Comfort Cuff™ design makes sure you only have soft fabric around your face while you sleep. Thanks to the ZipPlow™ zipper, you’ll get snag-free opening and closing every time. A durable, cotton canvas cover will ensure you get to use this extra-warm bag season after season. Packing up is made easy with the Wrap ‘N’ Roll™ system, which lets you roll your bag right up into an attached cover.
I also laundered each bag at home using my front-loading washing machine and dryer. As I was testing, I considered qualities like comfort, warmth, design features, ease of use, durability, packability and versatility. Coleman coleman canopy Brazos sleeping bag is designed for outdoor camping in moderately cold temperatures. Sleep comfortably under the stars in the Coleman® Big Game™ -5 Big & Tall Sleeping Bag, even when the temperature drops to -5 °F outside.
However, fitting it into its stuff sack is a different story — think round hole, square peg. We found it easier to just keep the bag unrolled and randomly shove it into other places in our camp kit. Bursting at the seams, this bag’s packed size when we did commit to the bag is 16.5 x 10 inches. A backpacking sleeping bag is typically in the 2- to 3-pound range. For those looking to travel fast and far, or for those traveling into alpine terrain, a lighter-weight bag makes that possible. A bag in the 3- to 4-pound range can be used for backpacking, and these models are often more comfortable to sleep in, but they also take up more space and add weight to an already heavy pack.
You don’t need to wash your sleeping bag after every camping trip, but you should clean it once or twice a year, depending on how much you use it. Coleman recommends using a fabric softener, but do not use bleach. Tumble dry on low heat in as large a dryer as possible (high heat can burn the fabric or insulation).
The oversized design allows for ample room to move and stretch, providing added comfort. My daughter had a big sleepover party and one of her guests borrowed it for the party. She told me the next day that it was the most comfortable sleeping bag she had ever used. She said lots of the girls were sitting on it with her during the movie because it was so comfy.
