ALPS OutdoorZ Redwood -10° Sleeping Bag, Plaid Flannel Lined, Cotton Canvas

Written by treasured and favorite (and only) wife of Matt:To be up front, we haven't used it camping yet, but I will update once I do. But, on initial impression and trying it out for 45 minutes at home, I'm impressed!!!First - LOVE the material!!! We don't like about 90% of bags out there due to the "plasticy" (and loud) materials. This bag is all cloth - as you can see in the picture. I mean, maybe you can't see the cloth texture, but you can see that there is no sheen. The outside feels tough and a little like a smooth burlap - but not uncomfortable for the arms to rest on. The inside is flannel like - can't remember if it's flannel or cotton - but either way, it's soft and cozy and not loud.Second - They can zip together. And they both have 2 zippers - so if it gets too warm (don't know yet if we will sometimes be to warm because, again, we haven't actually camped yet), you can choose to just unzip part of your side OR just the bottom of your side, or both, to ventilator. There is a small hole in the middle between where the two bags attach - but ALL bags that we've used have had that hole. With other bags, if it was too cold, we'd just stuff a blanket down at the bottom across the zipper line and that helped.Third - the size! Hubby is 6'3 and I'm 5'4. I'm overweight at the moment and hubby is not. We had more than enough room to be able to move around - which is good because we like to cuddle until we are actually sleeping, but then we don't like to be squashed up - legs touching is o.k., but not much more unless we are freezing and must cuddle out of necessity.If you want to zip your bags together and plan on cuddling and you don't mind smooth, plastic-like materials, then check out The North Face Dolomite Double 20 sleeping bag (sold at REI - loved the warmth, but it was too narrow for our liking and not "cloth like").Due to the cloth materials, this bag rolls LARGE. Not a backpacking sleeping bag at all - but a good car camping bag. The other sleeping bag I mentioned above rolls to about half the size this one rolls into - but again, the other bag is also narrower and uses lots of syntheticy materials which probably retain more heat with less material.I attached some pictures to show size and even thickness (see the photo of the corner of the sleeping bag next to the lazy-boy rocking chair and how high the bag comes up from the floor). The child is 10 and only about a head shorter than I am, to give head perspective.So those are our initial impressions. Stay tuned for updates after our mid-July camping trip (we were supposed to camp this weekend, but kids are sick. Sigh.).Lastly, in case you are looking for a camp pad (for car camping) check out the Lightspeed Outdoors PVC-Free Warmth Series Self Inflating Camp Pad. Very comfortable. Pricey though. We purchased 3 (yikes on price!) to put beneath this behemoth sleeping bag. The closet thing to glamping that you can get without actually looking towards getting a motor home.... But it all takes up solace in the car. Comfort equals big, so consider your packing space. We got a roof top carrier.

Puffy and comfy. It's extremely warm and cozy even at night. Absolutely worth the money spent for the comfort you get out of it.It's big and kinda heavy, so not what you're looking for if you're out hiking. It's perfect for camping and can fit 2 people if they wanna cuddle and is nice and roomy for 1.Being heavy cotton also means you can repair this sleeping bag if you ever snag a hole in it. This bag is going to last many years. $100ish for this bag over the years of use you'd get is worth way more than a $40 cheap sleeping bag that isn't nearly as comfy and will probably rip or fall apart.

We made two cross country trips sleeping on an air mattress in the back of a mini van. We bought our first of these sleeping bags the day after waking up to 18° temps one morning. We completed our trip in relative comfort and recently bought a second of these bags to be used in our truck camper.These are definitely not back packing bags, they are large, soft, and quite comfortable, but heavy. We use these (one under us and one over us) in our camper which also has a gas furnace. Based on several mild temperature trips we won't be using much propane for some time. Waking up warm and comfortable is a very nice way to start the day. The wool liner material is soft to the touch and does not hold the cold like most exterior use fabrics. The canvas outer covering looks very sturdy and wear resistant.

This sleeping bag is awesome. It's very heavy duty. Nice tough canvas on the outside. Thick and comfy on the inside. Strong zipper. Nice straps to hold it all together when rolled up. I'm very impressed with it. For $99 this is a heck of a good deal. After getting it I feel like I still would have been fine paying a lot more. It's very large too. It gives me plenty of room to move around. It's the same size as a Twin extra long bed. Fits perfect on top of my home bed mattress. I stay nice and warm in this. I haven't tried it out in super cold weather yet, but so far in a cold house it's been great. The quality is top notch. I'm surprised this doesn't have way more reviews and buyers. Apparently it's been on here since 2012. Amazon needs to start showing this more on the top of searches. A shame people are missing out on this. I almost bought another brand but somehow I clicked far enough to come across this. I'm glad I did and picked this ALPS brand.

First off, if you're looking for a mountaineering or backpacking bag, keep looking. This isn't it. It's not meant to be. It's too bulky and heavy.That said...This is a great bag! I wanted something for fall and winter camping, and this will work great! It's well made, rugged, comfortable and warm. I can't wait to use it. The -25 Alps bag seemed way too big and bulky, but this one is just slightly larger than other rectangular bags. It's got plenty of room for moving around in. Match this with a decent tent and a cot and you're good for the night. This is exactly the bag you want waiting for you at the end of a cold, rainy day in the woods.
