Coleman Palmetto 30⁰F Adult Sleeping Bag, Cool-Weather Sleeping Bag with Snag-Free Zipper & Soft Liner, Machine Washable

It's comfortable and easy to use -- pretty much impossible to roll up into a non-bulky size! It's lightweight and has a good liner. I like it!

We are fair weather campers, but after the first time it got down to 60F overnight, we procured sleeping bags just in case. Mostly they’re just nice cot padding, and combined with an air mattress, it makes a very comfortable sleeping surface. Lately, it’s been worth crawling into at night, and I was very comfortable. I left it unzipped on the long side so I could just pull it over my lower body (where I get coldest). I was very comfortable temp-wise all night. This is a roomy bag that fits the biggest Coleman cot (35” wide) perfectly. You can actually (but just barely) get it back into the bag that came with it for easy carrying.I’m the one who uses this bag, and I have a really bad back. This bag plus my 5” air mattress is almost as comfy as my bed at home. I also put a top sheet and fleece blanket inside for more layers, warmth, and softness on nights in the 50s or cooler.

This review at the moment is based off my general first impression of this sleeping bag. I considered many other bags before making a purchase as I am getting back into camping and have a trip coming up this weekend. This sleeping bag is pretty comfortable, nice and thick. The color is not what's depicted in the stock photo but more of a blood red (think Valentine's Day heartshaped candy box). I'm actually loving the color, it's not flamboyant and it's sort of comforting as it's a muted red and not bright on the eyes. I actually decided to buy this item based off other reviewers who claimed the color was darker (which is what I wanted). The lining feels comfortable but it's the kind of material you can easily snag on your finger nails or rough skin. I would suggest moisturizing or a liner :) the sleeping bag came nicely compacted in a bag, which I had trouble returning to that state. Basically the zipper on the side which makes the bag expandable I cannot rezip. The bag however did roll nicely and will fit in the bag's extended state. I will be field testing this weekend and will follow up on it's actual performance. In the meantime I am happy with this purchase and looking forward to several camping trips this year. On a side note, Amazon rocks and shipped this (and a tent) lightening fast so now I have plenty of time to air out my new gear.******UPDATE 08/01/2011*****So I went on my weekend camping trip up to the Catskills (NY) and I am happy to report that this sleeping bag performed great! It got very cold up in those mountains and this sleeping bag kept me warm and comfortable - slept like a baby!

I got two of these for my Girl Scouts, they worked out great.

I use this sleeping bag when staying at friends' house to avoid inconvenience with sheets etc. it is comfortable and not too hot, just right. Recommended. The price is right too. Nice quality.

I'm one of those people who don't like to use the heater at my house when there's more efficient ways to warm myself, so I bought this Coleman sleeping bag to sleep in during the winters in New Mexico. I've been using it each night for the past month with the temperature ranging from 25-50 degrees. Here are some things I've learned about my experience with this sleeping bag:-the ideal temperature for me with t-shirt and shorts is about 40 degrees.-with the temperature from 30-35 degrees I find it ideal to use a quilt on the outside of the sleeping bag.-temperatures from 25-30 degrees I supplement the sleeping bag with a quilt on the outside of the sleeping and another quilt just at the top where the shoulders are exposed and heat escapes. Plus I wear a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and cap.-the sleeping bag is tough to use above 45 degrees because I get too hot. A quilt or two is better.-I don't use socks and haven't had an issue with my nails or skin getting caught on the inner lining. In fact I find the material very soft and somewhat smooth, even when lying awake for an hour.-I can toss and turn without much difficulty. I don't feel constricted.-the zipper has worked very well.This sleeping bag has beat my expectations for warmth and quality, especially considering the price. I bought mine from Amazon Warehouse for $22 in very good condition. I would buy this sleeping bag again if I needed another sleeping bag for the purpose described here.

I've just received this sleeping bag in the mail, took it out, unrolled it, looked it over and felt it over, and must say I am quite pleased with this product. It looks and feels very durable and comfortable. It's also pretty easy to roll back up and put in the carrying bag. Admittedly I've not "field tested" it yet, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five (I'll update my review once I've tested it), but based on first impressions of this bag, I would buy this product again and suggest it to others.Update (11/13/2014):Since writing my initial review, I've had the opportunity to test this bag in colder temperatures (mid-30's) and this bag does everything it claims it does: Keeps you warm and allows you to sleep in comfort. Even in mid-30's temps, this bag was incredibly warm and in fact it was a bit too warm, as I found myself pulling down the top a bit to sleep more comfortably, but that's a good thing because it means this bag will hold up in much colder temperatures should you find yourself stranded in the woods. This is a great bag to use at home or have secured to the top of your hiking or survival bag. I'm updating my review from a 4-star to a 5-star rating because this bag deserves it. In a few years when I wear down my current bag, I'll definitely be purchasing another of the same type. Cheers to Coleman for creating such a great product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It stays warm and is decently comfy. It is too short for my height 5’8” and not wide enough for my shoulders . There is a tag like thing inside that cannot be removed . The zipper is big and annoying
