Coleman Big Bay™ 20° Mummy Sleeping Bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to use this sleeping bag. I had been using one that was 20 years old so this was absolutely an upgrade. First off the color and the fabric is soft and great. It is a light sleeping bag that gives a lot of warmth. I love the fact that you can zip up this sleeping bag from the bottom and the top. Typically my feet are cold so I love that the foot area is lined with fleece material. This bag is easy to roll up and does not trap a lot of air like some others. I cant wait to take this on more trips!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sleeping bag is well suited for the cold. I hopped into the day I got it to see what it was like. In 40-degree temperature, I started to sweat in under two minutes. It was incredible how much heat it retains. I tried it at night on 20-degree temperature and was plenty warm. The mummy shape, chest baffle and cinched opening work together to make an efficient heat capturing capsule. I got in the bag and stretched a tape measure from the foot well to the head area and it seems like an tall 80-inch person could fit inside there (I stretched the tape measure nearly 7 feet.) The big baby sleeping bag has many features you would like. It zippers from both ends with pulls on both sides; this is helpful to cut the retained heat when the weather is above zero. There is a, insulated flap behind the zipper to keep a cold spot from forming. The face opening has a Velcro cover to help keep it from unzippering on its own. The foot well has a fleece lining which is nice if you sleep barefooted, but I wear socks. There is a small pocket on the inside ideal for holding a cellphone or other small, important item within the sleeping bag. It comes with a compact bag but the fit is extremely tight. Even though it is constructed with light weight polyester material, it is fairly dense because of the temperature rating. You can wash it in a front-loading washer or by hand. It must be fully dry before you repack it. To help with drying, it has two loops at the footwell to hang the bag from. This bag is great at retaining your heat in cool weather. **Not a summer time sleeping bag.
