I'm 60 years old and have been camping my whole life. These are nice bags. The cotton lining is a big plus over the slippery nylon of others I've used. Another nice feature is the zipper system using separate bottom and side zippers. Open the bottom and stick your feet out if you get too warm. Speaking of warm, these bags are. Used them on a recent motorcycle trip and they were actually too warm for the evening. Remember these are 4 pound bags and are larger for packing. They have other nice features too, including a velcro tab and drawstring at the neck. The ONLY complaint I have is the lack of ties or straps to keep them rolled for stuffing in the sack provided and that's pretty easily fixed. Great Sleeping Bags!!
Just ordered these bags and they seem to be good quality bags for such a great price. Each bag is a left and right zipping bag, not just two identical bags thrown together. Nice and heavy, definitely look like they will keep you nice and warm- haven't used them yet but looking forward to it. Nice cotton lining not that cold nylon like I've seen in a lot of bags. Includes stuff sacks too!
I bought this Colorado along with the River to compare. The "cotton" lining was really coarse and scratchy. If you slept in the bag with shorts, you'd probably get a friction rash! With pajamas on, shifting positions was hard because the lining stuck to you like velcro. Sadly, I returned this bag and ordered 2 more Rivers! The zip together feature was nice, though. I would still recommend this bag if you're budget minded. Everything about the bag is wonderful (except for the lining).
The cotton lining on these is not very soft, but they are super-warm. Great quality, strong zippers.

Our mummy bags will never be used again after camping with the Idaho 0-degree bag. We were kept warm and plenty of room to move around compare to our mummy bags. We highly recommend!

As I stated above, I had to replace the bags due to once they were zipped together, they did not match up at the top! They also did not have equal amounts of the filler in them-not in any two. Other reviews stated that there was so much filler that they didn't need to have anything between the bags and the ground or floor of their tents. I did not find this to be true with any of them and I had 4 different ones! They are very warm and soft. My fiancee was pleased with the purchase and cannot wait until we try them out. I on the other hand can-that means that it is pretty cold outside if we need 0 degrees sleeping bags!
- How accurate was the sizing? Off the first time and had to replace-once zipped together they didn't line-up at the top.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. They seem to be very warm and soft. They did not have as much filler in them as others had stated.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? If you are not going to buy more than one then no,but if you plan on zipping two together, some don't match up.
It was well worth the money. I would definitely order it again. It is heavy and warm. You would love it. The only thing is trying to stick it back in the bag. Make sure you stick one sack at a time. Other wise it will not work. when put both together it fits a queen size bed. very warm that is for sure.

I took my son camping with his cub scout pack recently. At night it got down to upper 30s. I usually get chilled very easily, so I bought the zero degree bag just to be safe. I was nice and toasty! Not sure how it would be for me at actually zero degrees, but I don't plan to be camping in those temps. It is rather bulky and somewhat difficult to get back in its sack. Haven't tried to zip them together, so I can't comment on that and I'm not sure about laundering them either. All in all, I am happy with the purchase.

These are the Cadillac of sleeping bags for warmpth and comfort. My husband and I bought them for hiking the AT, Florida Trail, and camping in general. They weigh more than most people carry while backpacking but they are worth every extra ounce! We have a Tempurpedic mattress at home so we are very spoiled when it comes to comfort. The high loft is the most comfortable sleep we've ever had in a bag! The different material on this inside gives even more "at home" feeling anf we didn't experience the sliding around that usually comes from a bag. I tend to toss and turn in my sleep and even doing so I never got wound up in this thing! It was in the 30's when we first used them and we stayed toasty warm. Huge value for the money. We did have to buy heavy duty compression sacks (from our local hiking store) to get them down small enough to get in our backpacks, and it is a little of a struggle, but again, it's just worth it. Remember, heavier than many other options out there but if comfort is important to you it'll be worth it. By the way, we are both big people also (my husband is 5'11" and 285 lbs) and we fit in these just fine.

This is really nice , warm sleeping bag, good in size even it is comfortable for tall persons as well.
we have only usd these bags once so far but they are very nice. they roll back into their sacks, with a little effort ans zip together nicely. we are very happy with the purchase. we plan on getting at least one more. Its a winner.

very happy with the quality and the style. my daughters love the bags. they are comfortable and easy to zip and reconfigure. i can zip the two together to make one large bag for the two of the them.
This sleeping bag is very warm in cold weather, zips together easily, and is easy to get in and out of. However, the cloth used to line the interior is stiff to the touch and quite rough to the skin.
I am very pleased with how warm these sleeping bags are. The zipper has broken within the first half-dozen times of using it. I'm glad I purchased the warranty. I will be returning them to get two new ones soon.

The sleeping bags were better then expected !!! very happy with the product so far , We have not had a chance to try them out but I can say I think they will be all that the description was for warmth. We are very happy with the size and material.

Very good quality and very warm we haven't used them yet camping but we tried them here in the apartment on cold nights and very warm
We bought these last summer for camping and used them a few times before writing a review. My only complaint is that there is NO WAY these would work to 0-degrees. We camp during the summer in the Colorado Rockies and even when they are zipped together (so I can get warmth from my boyfriend) I am still freezing. We did use them on a lower elevation camping trip where the temps were in the high 30s - low 40s and they were great but high elevation even in July was miserable! Maybe I am a bit of a wimp but I want to be somewhat comfortable. Other than that, these are awesome! You cant beat the price and they seem pretty durable so far. Hope this helps...:-)
