This will get me through the winter? It's like a rotisseries bag! TIA!

I live in Northern Michigan. I will wear a fleece or sweatshirt under the coat. The coat is lightweight and not bulky. Perfect for errands, snow shoveling, walking the dog. Have worn it on very windy days at soccer tournaments at 40 degrees and it was very toasty. Not for standing out on a frozen lake for ice fishing. Wearing it to sit in a very cold ice arena today. The perfect coat for me, but we are all different. I do not like bulky coats that feel like I am wearing a marshmallow.

Don't quote me on this because I have not opened one of these, but it feels like a synthetic insulation. It would have to be because the ability to jam this thing into the "stuff sack" and have it spring back into shape. The entire sleep system put together is no thicker than a hi-quality winter bag that you would get at a MEC or Sail.

It feels just like a soft flannel shirt. I really like this bag it is super thick and the zipper is really heavy duty. Just finished archery elk here in Colorado and we got 8 inches of early snow at camp(10,000 elevation) I was plenty warm. Best deal i could find.

Yes, more like a duck canvas. If you're looking for thick and durable. You will be happy. And it's extremely warm. I Purchased 8 of them. They are tough, well built sleeping bags

I slept in it @ 12° with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24° and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30°. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10° under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40° outside, buy a 30° bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.

It is wide open. I don't think it can be used to keep things cold/warm. It was the perfect bag for me to put a lunch bowl, an Ipad and few fruits in there though.

This unit isn't constructed as an expedition bag with floating, overlapping v-channels. The long seams are sewnthrough but the comforter is so heavy & the fill so insulating that there are no cold spots. You can open your bedroom windows in January and still be toasty.

I have it put away til i need it next. I would not think it would hold up to winter conditions.

I'm 5'6" and bought this bag last fall for the same reason. The one time I used it and it got down to 30 degrees, I was cold. From what I understand, these cold weather bags keep you warm by trapping your body heat in the bag, but with a bag that big my body just couldn't keep the air inside the bag warm enough. I found your question because I am currently shopping for another bag before my next camping trip. I'd recommend something smaller. I'm sure none of these rectangular bags work as well as a mummy bag, but there are smaller options available rectangular bags that should still allow for a reasonable amount of movement.

I don't own this bag but am considering buying for my 14 year old. I have many years of outdoor experience and temp ratings on bags are kinda like person ratings on tents...they don't quite hold true. For camping at those temps my suggestion is for you to put a light weight fleece sleeping bag inside it and you'll be comfy cozy on even the coldest of nights. Just saw some Coleman brand fleece bags on Amazon for about $20. This solution gives you more flexibility with the temp range of the bag because you can remove it for sleeping in warmer temps.

I bought the bag just 6 months ago and I love it!! I have not had any problems with the zipper and it keeps me warm. Get a liner if you are expecting winter camping.

I used it during the winter just going in and out at about 45 degrees. It is made of basically a heavy sweatshirt material.

I love this bag. The re-useable ice pack keeps your food cold for 4 to 5 hrs. It's not refrigerator cold, but it is better then any other lunch bag I have owned. I hope this helps

I would say that depends on your local weather. If it may freeze, I'd recommend a pot so you can pull it inside over the coldest months.

I'm 6'3" (thin) and enjoyed that space. This bag is definitely not for cold weather unless you add a fleece blanket too.
