Teton Celsius Regular, -25F, 20F, 0F Degree Sleeping Bags, All Weather Bag for Adults and Kids, Camping Made Easy and Warm, Travel Sack Included

This sleeping bag is WARM and roomy enough for my 5'11" with good posture 150 pound athletic with a cookie gut frame. The orange color is brighter than anticipated. The brushed-cotton flannel lining is super-comfortable and astheticly pleasing with the colors of a tootsie roll wrapper...which I really like. This sleeping bag is so very toasty that it is likely to be too warm for a 60-70° Summer night, however, ideal for late Spring and early Fall 40-60 degree nights and likely comfortable at 20° F. Zero Fahrenheit is the advertised comfort rating for men....I will unlikely test that extreme of a temperature. I had the thought of buying a smaller bag in effort to compress this bag further, however, I believe the manufacturer has met the bags compression limit with the supplied bag. Overall, this is a great value for a non-hiking sleeping bag and I have ordered a second Teton Celcius sleeping bag in a less flashy color (grey), rather than return the traffic cone/hunter's safety orange tootsie roll bag which will only leave the house as a spare or guest loaner bag (*they will no doubt love the color). I'll use the orange bag as my cold night home sack and when th Dolphins play the Browns.Enjoy!

Pic taken pre campout cause momma don’t camp in single digit temp lol but this 0° sleeping bag is an absolute game-changer for cold-weather camping! It keeps my son warm and comfortable all night during his Boy Scout campouts, even in freezing temperatures. The insulation is excellent, trapping heat while still allowing for breathability.The roomy design gives plenty of space to move, and the soft interior lining makes it extra cozy. I also love how compact it is and the durable zippers are weather-resistant material, which holds up in any outdoor conditions. Whether for Boy Scout campouts, backpacking trips, or winter adventures, this sleeping bag is a must-have and def affordable and beats frostbite!

OK. Now that we've got that out of the way...let's just start from the beginning, shall we? This thing is big. That's what it is -- a Big. Warm. Inexpensive. And all in all pretty well made sleeping bag. (Although as another reviewer pointed out it would have made more sense to have the zipper go across the bottom so it could be opened up flat. That's why I deducted 1 star.) And not to belabor the point, but reading that this bag weighs 5 pounds is one thing; seeing it up close and personal is another. DAMN this thing is big.However, it DOES fit my Teton 75L pack in the upper outside strap down section underneath the main strap down area. (I haven't tried to fit it into the designated zippered "sleeping bag pouch" section because for me, where I have it now secured is more beneficial and allows me to use the designated sleeping bag zippered pouch for other items.)And in fairness, this is replacing a 35 degree Kelty Tuck, which weighs half as much and packs down much smaller. BUT...I need to add a 2 pound wool blanket to make the Kelty usable in really cold weather situations. So...when you factor that in, and the fact that I need 2 places in my pack for that combo -- one for the Kelty and another one for the blanket -- this bag does double duty and only weighs about 8 ounces more while only monopolizing one storage area, not two. (I'd previously kept the Kelty in the same area that I'll put the Teton.)Additionally, this bag is more comfortable for me than the Kelty, which is more of a mummy bag. In this Teton bag I can sleep on my stomach and have both arms/hands up near my head, rather than 1 by my head and 1 pinned down by my side like in the Kelty. (The pull cords for the neck collar and head section do tend to be a bit annoying but not terribly so.) I also prefer the functioning of the zipper on this bag to the one on the Kelty. That one ALWAYS gets hung up at various places. (It isn't so much that it snags any material; it just stops zipping. It's frustrating.) This one is pretty smooth, although if it's not zipped up all the way it tends to unzip itself by itself.Finally, if you fold this bag in half width-wise, then fold it in half length-wise, lay on it, then start from the non-corded end to stuff it intelligently into the compression sack, it's relatively easy to get this sucker neatly back into the sack without doing any damage to the bag or the compression sack. (And taking it out of the compression sack for the first time, the bag fluffed right up almost immediately. That was nice.)So to recap: Yes. This bag is big. It is NOT a super expensive lofty goose down bag that compresses down to the size of a Coke can. However, for what it IS...a relatively big, somewhat heavy, comfortable, warm, non-down sleeping bag...it's pretty damn good. (As well as being pretty damn big.) In my mind I compare this more to the old Coleman sleeping bags. In that regard, I think this is better, although a lot of folks love those Coleman bags. To each his own.CAVEAT: When I say "big" I'm not really saying roomy. I'm 5'8" and scrunched down in the bag so I can pull the little head section tight while lying on my stomach (basically using the bag backwards, with the head section covering the back of my head), my feet do touch the bottom of the bag, but not uncomfortably so. I'd imagine anyone taller than about 5'8", however, would need to get the XL or bigger.(Did I mention that it's big?):-DNOTE: The past few nights here it's been either in the 20s or 30s. Sleeping in the Kelty/wool blanket combo (along with putting that whole combo on a non-insulated Klymit inflatable ultra lightweight pad, encased by a 2Go Tyvex zippered bivvy sack) I was quite toasty. And clothes-wise all I was wearing were wool socks and top/bottom wool thermals. No other clothes. No gloves. No balaclava. Tonight it's going to be a little warmer and I'm going to test this bag out by itself, just on the Klymit pad. And as soon as it's down in the 30s or 20s again I'll try this Teton bag by itself and see how insulating and warm it really is. Then I'll update this review. This is basically just an unboxing review. For me, if I can get the same or better results just with the Teton and 2Go bivvy sack, then that'll be my set up. Not perfect, but more than good enough. And simpler.Update 11/25/18: Last night I slept in the Teton Celsius, on top of the Klymit V2 pad, which was zipped inside the 2Go Tyvex bivvy sack. I was only wearing Merino wool thermals top/bottom, thick wool socks, and nice wool gloves. The temperature went down to around 42 degrees. I slept on my stomach, with the bag fully zipped and the head area pulled up over the back of my head but not cinched at all. (I also had a small inflatable pillow.) I was extremely comfortable. Much more comfortable than sleeping with the Kelty + wool blanket. The Teton is real cushy and more roomy than the mummy design of the Kelty. I slept until 9 AM and felt great when I woke up. Next up: I'll wait until the temperature goes back down into the 20s and update the review after that. So far, so good!!
