Coleman Stratus Fleece Sleeping Bag Liner, 50°F Sleeping Bag for Adults, Adds 12°F More Warmth When Used to Line Another Sleeping Bag, Stuff Sack Included

This sleeping bag liner has kept me so warm during winter camping, I bring it on every camping trip.

UPDATE: These bags *DO* zip together and can be combined to make a "2 person" bag. (Read below for my updates/explanation.)We purchased these bags for car-camping with the kids. We usually throw a comforter over the top of us (with camping pads underneath), but wanted something to keep the drafts out and sort-of keep us together under the comforter. These worked great, the price is good, and we can combine them into one larger bag (after initially not figuring out how to unzip the zipper in order to combine them). Note - the price on these tends to vary often. I've seen the price range from $24 to $15 each.Re. SIZE - the product description gives bag size (33 x 75 inches). When in the stuff sack, the product is about 6.5" diameter x 11" long.Re. TEMPERATURE - with our comforter set-up we could probably be comfortable down to 25F (in a tent). People's comfort level may vary, but alone the bags would probably be good for temperatures down around 55-60F. The fleece isn't super thick. Using them as a sleeping bag liner, they will probably increase the temp rating of a bag by about 10 degrees.DRAWBACKS - As some reviewers have indicated, the fleece material can "catch" on your legs if you move around a lot, but this is pretty typical of this type of liner. A silk liner inside this fleece bag might help, if you have that problem. Also, there is a gap between the the bottom end of the zipper and the fabric which can let a small amount of draft into the bag. I didn't find this to be an issue. Finally, colors vary and you can't choose color as of the writing of this review. This wasn't a big deal for us - the colors we got were all pleasant in our opinion (we got orange and green).Re. ZIPPER - I got 2 of these to zip together and make a larger 2-person sleeping sack. After purchasing two of these bags initially and returning them because the zipper didn't seem to come completely off either side of the zipper "coil" (which is necessary to combine or zip together with another zipper), I noticed other customers hadn't had the same problem. So I tried again and got 2 more. Turns out I am simply a zipper dunce. The front zipper handle has to be pulled/zipped completely back to the handle at the bottom/foot of the bag. Once they are fully seated together (at the very end of the zipper), one side of the zipper "coil" can be pulled out completely, allowing it to be zipped into and combined with another bag. (SEE PICTURES I've downloaded up at product title)So I wanted to set the record straight - I was wrong before. These bags CAN be combined! I am giving this produce 5 stars. I've uploaded a bunch of pictures of the zipper to illustrate what I've described above. Hope that helps!The front zipper handle does have a nice feature to prevent it from snagging/catching on the material. The zipper is also 2-way, allowing you to open the bottom for ventilation if desired.

I started with just a coleman sleeping bag, but sometimes I would be cold using it as a blanket. I ended up adding this to the bag and never looked back. I use it in my truck so I don't have to bake myself out of the sleeper during winter time on the road. Come summertime I just use 2 of these together. It gives enough warmth that I can run a fan/ac to keep the compartment cool without being cold myself.Highly recommend this a general use blanket too. Sure there are cheaper and bigger but it just works.

We purchased the Coleman Fleece Sleeping Bags probably 15 years ago, before kids. Now that our family has grown we wanted to get more of the fleece sleeping bags so each member of the family could have one. I was very happy to find them on Amazon!This sleeping bag is perfect for summer camping. Gives you just enough warmth to cover up. You can use them in the late spring and early fall as well when the regular types of sleeping bags are just too hot!We did use these on a camping trip where the temps dipped into the 50s at night and we were cold. That said, we had not looked close enough at the forecast, and wore shorts to bed. It had been over 100 degrees during the day about 2 hours away where we lived and we figured it must be just as warm. Had we slept with sweat pants and a sweatshirt we might have been okay.My kids are involved in Scouts, and this sleeping bag is perfect for them. It is light weight and does not take up much space in their bag. They usually pack it right in with their clothes and other gear. I wish the stuff sack were slightly larger though because even when you roll it perfectly it is difficult to fit inside. The kids usually do their best to roll it up and I have to fix it once they are home.Overall it is a great sleeping bag for late spring through mid-fall. You can use it as a liner if you do go winter camping. The only reason for giving it a 4 star rating instead of a 5 is because of the precision needed to roll the sleeping bag perfectly and then get it into the provide bag.

I purchased 4 of these liners to compare. We're mostly car camping for the foreseeable future, and as I've gotten older I'm more sensitive to the cold, so I'm looking to add a few degrees to my 10° down bag.They all are plenty big and retained about the same amount of heat, raising the temp inside the bag with me inside about 5° after 15 minutes, (based on our smart thermostat sensor).The Redcamp was the beefiest by weight (1lb 9.4oz), by the zipper was so incredibly slick it moves on its own! No way it is staying zipped up all night.The Osage River was fine, basically the same as the Coleman but slightly lighter weight (1lb 1.8oz) and about $10 more.The Litume was the smallest and lightest weight (15.1oz), although it felt heaviest when draped on my legs. It's made from micro fleece with a smooth outer cover. It's really nice, and came in a high quality compression sack. But I don't think it adds any more heat than the others, and since I don't plan on doing any backpacking the weight and compression aren't of value to me. I ordered the zipper less version, so can't speak to durability of the zipper.The Coleman is about the same as the Osage River and Redcamp models, but was the cheapest AND was 1/3 the price of the Litume. The zipper is super beefy. It weighed in much heavier than the Osage River but only slightly behind Redcamp at 1lb 9oz.If the Litume was the same price or ithought I would use it for backpacking, I would probably go for it, but the Coleman is the clear winner for our current setup.
