Along with a healthy dose of 550-fill down, the bag offers cozy warmth and good compressibility. And considering the typical price of a down bag, the Cosmic Down’s $165 MSRP really stands out. This sleeping pad has an R-value of 4.2, meaning it’s rated to keep you warm for three-season camping and backpacking.
Perfect for unzipping and putting on top of a queen size bed. Perhaps more importantly for a kids’ sleeping bag, it’s machine washable. Due to the reversible design, the inside of the bag is nylon rather than soft cotton. If you have a tight budget, then you don’t want to buy different coleman bbq sleeping bags for different seasons. The North Rim is a mummy-shaped sleeping bag as opposed to the rectangular shape of most Coleman bags. If you want to snuggle up with your partner – or it’s a little colder than you were anticipating -, you can zip two bags together.
Straps for tying sleeping bag back up are poorly sewn into the seams on the bag. Flannel lining could be too clingy, scratchy, and uncomfortable for some. Feels more like a medium weather sleeping bag, may be too much sleeping bag for some. Might not be suitable for serious campers who need something more heavy-duty. “No-Snag” patented zipper plows fabric away from the zipper to prevent snags.
That said, the all-in-one answer comes with some compromises. Mummy sleeping bags trim away material in the shoulders, hips, and feet for a shape that mimics your body. The advantage of having a tapered cut is there is little extra space for cold spots to creep in. And with a quality hood cinched around the top of your head, you can really maximize the temperature rating potential.
I’ve exclusively used a random inexpensive one that was probably already 10 years old when it found its way to me, and it honestly works perfectly. Sometimes with gear, price is directly related to quality or longevity, but when it comes to these little stoves, it seems like just getting your hands on one is enough. Building out a kit is expensive enough — might as well save coleman tents where you can (especially when there are good reviews to back up your purchase, like with this stove). It’s a perfect outdoor luxury item, especially for anyone taking a long day hike where they want to picnic or for a car camper who doesn’t feel the need for a big, traditional camp chair. The down is 550-fill and is rated to 20 degrees, making it a three-season bag.
The Coleman Brazos has been designed for cold weather applications. The sleeping bag can handle very low temperatures (up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit). The North Rim is rated for temperatures between 0°F and 10°F (-18°C – -12°C). This is a minimum temperature rating, not necessarily a comfort temperature rating, but even so, this is a warm bag.So warm that you’ll want to keep it for cold weather use only as it’ll be far too hot in summer.
