I cannot believe that I wasted 160 dollars on some junk. 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. Mummy-style sleeping bags require that you purchase one left-hand zippered bag and one right-hand zippered bag, in order to zip the two together. Mummy-style sleeping bags mate side-by-side, with the right/left zipper arrangement making this possible. With mummy-style sleeping bags, you determine the side zipper by laying in the sleeping bag face up.
The compromises in choosing the cheaper fill type are relatively minimal for camping. With a car or camper to transport all of your gear, the larger stuffed size and extra weight are much less of a concern than when your sleeping bag has to be crammed into a pack and carried on your back. And should the insulation get wet, synthetics continue to keep you warm, unlike down feathers.
While most sleeping bags are designed to be most efficient when used independently, some of them are designed to be mated together to form a “double wide” sleeping bag – perfect for a cozy night of sleeping for two. The reason two sleeping bags paired together is less efficient is because there are more gaps, and more movement is possible, which allows warm air to be pushed out and colder air to enter the bag. Similar to The North Face’s One Bag above, Big Agnes’ Lost Ranger 3N1 uses an innovative layering system for adapting to shifting conditions.
It can also be used in the house for sleepovers or at summer camp. The 32-Degree Mummy Lightweight Down Sleeping Bag is designed with a shape that will keep as much heat in as possible to keep you warm and snug all night long. This sleeping bag uses a neck gasket to keep the heat in. An internal pocket gives you a place to put your phone, wallet or just about anything you want to store safely.
I purchased this sleeping bag for warm weather camping trips at the local lake. For fifteen dollars I wasn’t expecting (or needing) anything that would stand up to freezing weather. Unfortunately the workmanship was more than a little upsetting, even for that price.
This is a great summer sleeping bag that is lightweight and easy to carry. 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 won’t ever buy an expensive sleeping bag after carrying this cheapo, unless I can find a cheap bag that weighs a lot less. Sleeping bags inherently are barebones, but we’ve seen an uptick in available features on many mid-range and high-end models of late.
If the night gets cold, a drawcord conveniently lets you adjust the contoured hood around your neck, while a full-length side zipper makes it easy to get in and out of your camping sleeping bag. An added interior stash pocket offers a safe place to keep your valuables nearby. For the best nights sleep while camping, pack the Ozark Trail 10F Mummy Sleeping Bag and you’ll be ready to hit the trail right when the sun rises. As we touched on above, temperature ratings tend to be fairly generous and often require adding a sizable buffer to ensure you’ll stay warm throughout the night.
It is important to consider the temperature rating, especially when camping in cold weather. It is advisable to understand what the temperature Ozark Trail Sleeping Bags ratings mean for each.
