Customer Reviews
Great Bag Great Price
I purchased this bag along with a Wenzel tent in March for an upcoming camping trip we had this July in 2008. Granted the weather was rainy it still maintained a 65+ degree temperature. Although one morning was particularly cold. The sleeping bag provided nice comfort great warmth. So warm actually I had to unzip it and use as a blanket. The best feature is something I have not had in a sleeping bag in a while... it was EASY to roll up and store.
Definately recommend!
Average Sleeping Bag
This sleeping bag is completely average. It's not super durable, warm or functional, but if you're a cheap college student, like me, and you don't want to spend a lot of money, then it's good. It's really thin and I would recommend using a cot or sleeping pad with it. Also, cold weather camping is not ideal with this sleeping bag.
Possibly dangerous -- your response solicited
When I first received and examined this sleeping bag I thought it was great -- just what I expected and very reasonably priced. However, it has a very odd characteristic that could be dangerous--and it is only noticeable in pitch-black darkness. The first night I slept in the bag I noticed strange lights. I sprang up time and again and could not figure out the source. I began to suspect something was wrong with my eyes. Finally, I discovered that when you press the lining of the bag between your hands and rub them briskly back and forth while pressing the bag between them (in utter darkness) it glows (the white color of fireflies) for a second or two after you release it from your hands. It does the same thing when rubbed between an external surface and your body. I have no idea what causes this phenomenon and would appreciate an explanation or suggestion. Is it unique to my bag? Is there a danger? What if there were combustible material nearby, such as gas fumes or gasoline? Could the energy that produces the glow ignite these fumes or is it dangerous in any other way? Other than the glow I would give the bag a five star rating and call it a great bag for the price. I plan to return the bag unless I find a satisfactory explanation.
Very nice!
We purchased 2 of these sleeping bags to use as "snuggle sacks" when watching t.v. in the winter time. They unzip to lay flat if you want, or can be zipped up all the way around. The size is generous, whether zipped up or unzipped. They have a silky finish inside and out and are very cuddly and warm. They won't be used outside, (no camping for me!) so can't comment on how they would work in outside weather. However, for us, they are more economical than the "cuddle" or "snuggle" sacks and actually work much better!
