REDCAMPUltra Lightweight Sleeping Bag for Backpacking, Comfort for Adults Warm Weather, with Compression Sack

So I was looking for a nice little backpacking bag for summer and this one seems to fit the bill. For warm weather, you don't need much right, so you want something nice and light. So this bag is about the size of those fleece sleeping bag liners that you can buy to increase the temp to an existing sleeping bag, or even use as is for the summer months too. This here though, has a nice water resistant outer layer so it's best to use one of these instead.It arrived yesterday, so I decided to see how it fits. I'm over 6 foot, 245lb with extra large frame. It's just a bit too snug for us big guys. Though it's about the same size as a fleece liner, it doesn't have much give. It's just a bit too small and tight for an enjoyable nights sleep. So what I decided to do is open it and zip a fleece liner to it, so now I have big double wide, yet still lightweight enough bag, that will feel very roomy and if it gets cold, I can kinda fold the other part up over me and stay extra warm.Living in a northern state, I planned on carrying the extra fleece liner anyway, so with this setup, it will be more like a quilt but one that can't slid off during the night because it's actually a big, lightweight sleeping bag. With this setup, I should be nice and comfortable and still only around a couple pounds, should be easy to carry no matter how miles of trails I want to do for the day. It's basically the weight of my pad, so. I think I'll have a nice little inexpensive setup here.Stansport Fleece Sleeping Bag sold here on amazon, for about 15 bucks!It's basically the same size and will give you a nice double wide sleeping bag for us big fellers.The added bonus is, if it dips unexpectedly during the night, I can simply unzip then, and place the fleece liner inside. Though, tight, I can fit and it will keep me very warm, no doubt probably right down to 40 or so doubled up. For spring and fall, I think I'll carry an extra fleece liner, and sleep inside that, with the double wide and be good down to about 35-40 probably.All this said, it would be more ideal, if they offered a 36 to 40" wide version of this, but then again, like I say, I would still have carried one fleece liner for an extra precaution anyway, so since I'm carrying it, I might as well just make the nice double wide. I bet this is going to work out great.

I use this bag on my motorcycle camping trips. Rolls up small and lightweight. Fits in my saddlebag with plenty of room for other items. I'm 5'10" and this bag is perfect size. If your planning on hitting temperatures below about 60 it gets a little cold but the fabric is nice on the inside

Small enough to fit in a suitcase or duffel bag, thin enough to feel covered but not overheat, and easy to wash! It was perfect for my son to take to summer camp.

I used the sleeping bag for multiple camping trips with a hammock, it fit perfectly, I used it as a beach towel and a pillow. It just works great.

My Son on loved this. I chose it based on reviews, especially the mentions of the soft inner lining., he prefers soft fleece blankets to sheets so I knew he’d like that lining. I was afraid it would be too hot or not warm enough he was sleeping in a tent in West Virginia in June 88 degree day weather and he said it was just right for night.

Wanted a lighter bag for inside truck camper. This one is all good except too narrow in upper body section. This makes it hard to handle zipper or to turn over when inside. My wife took it and likes it for the reasons I bought it. Looking for another light bag.

This bag is wonderful if all you need is a very light and compact bag for sleeping in warm weather. A trip to Idaho found me using it comfortably, down to about 50F, and otherwise if feeling a bit chilly, some light clothing did the trick to provide the extra warmth I needed. On a night at higher elevation that took me by surprise with some near-freezing temps, the bag wasn't warm enough but I fortunately was tent camping with my sister's car nearby, and with she being the more experienced camper, she had brought extra blankets along. One warm blanket and this sleeping bag were then enough to sleep comfortably. My only issue with this sleeping bag has been the slippery ripstop fabric shell, when laying atop an inflatable sleeping pad also made of ripstop nylon. To rectify that situation, a beach towel between the two did the trick. One new use of sleeping bag is also as a "transformed" sleeping pad....the Sleepingo sleeping pad I bought is a noisy thing when you move around upon it. Well, after the cold night of sleep where I used the blanket, I decided to buy a warmer yet still lightweight sleeping bag and....oh yes, so wonderful a purchase it was...a compact cot. What I found is that this Redcamp sleeping bag makes a great sleeve for the Sleepingo pad, and the low bulk of the pad actually allows it to be left inside the sleeping bag, with both then rolled up together and still easily fitting into the Redcamp stuff sack. The combo together make for a much quieter and plusher sleeping surface to lay upon the cot, and then I can either sleep directly atop them with a blanket or in the second sleeping bag I bought. Either way, the sleeping comfort is vastly improved in conjunction with the cot vs. sleeping on the ground and I have quite a bit of flexibility also in how I configure things relative to the night's temperature.

I used this for a trip when the evening temp got down to 50 degrees & it was perfect. It’s lightweight & takes up little room in my pack. I wouldn’t plan on using for any temp below 50 though.
