I need a Sleeping Bag that is NOT too bulky after I fold it and roll it. Will the Coleman Comfort Control fit my need?

I thought it was a bit bulky but a stuff sack might work. It's still an awesome sleeping bag though.

I got the extre long one and I would definitely say NO. I have 2 bungees and still had to work to STUFF the bag into a 'large' stuff sak. Maybe a guy could roll it tighter but not me.

This sleeping bag rolls up to be average size - not too large in my opinion.

Much of that depends on your own comfort level, what clothing you have on, what type of protection you have from the ground, and so on. This blanket might be rated at summer bag level of warmth except without the enclosed foot box and side zippers, so plan accordingly. This is designed more for sitting around camp watching the fire and the occasional trip to the latrine. I toss it over my bag, or beneath me, if I need a little extra warmth, but I would not bring this INSTEAD of a regular bag.

It sure does compress, and does so well. I've had no problems doing so. My sleeping bag doesn't occupy the whole sack, so I either add clothes or seal it at is.

It would if you are using a compact sleeping bag. i hav this bag and i hav a decently small sleeping bang and it takes up about 1/3 of the inside of the pack. and there is straps on the bottom front of the pack to strap a tent or a sleeping pad on it. Hope this helps.

The sleeping pad would be about all it fits in the center. It is not as big as it looks. Unless you packed clothes in the center of the bag.

It is of average thickness for a sleeping bag. I've only used it on a cot and it's a great, roomy bag that kept me warm even on a couple of 40 degree nights in the Adirondacks. Remember though, even the thickest bag would compress under your weight if you're on something "hard". If you want comfort put it on a cot, or put an air mattress or a good quality pad between the bag and the hard surface.

I'm 6-4 and my sleeping bag fit into the bag. I would not put the sleeping pad into the bag. It can be straped on the outside. Remember this is a medium size bag. The interior will hold 2 shirts, 1 pants, 2 underwear and 2 socks. Food for 5 days ( depends on what you eat). Rain jacket, emergency tarp, first aid kit, hygiene kit both 6x4 inches. 1 person tent or hammock, rain fly, straps and rope. Alcohol stove, ultra light pot w lid. Side pockets hold water treatment, alcohol fuel, lighter, maps, snacks, spoon or spork, etc. Top storage has twice as much room as side pockets. Bottom has rain cover which comes with the pack. There are lots of places to tie down your sleeping pad, hiking poles, what ever. I bought mine to use on the Appalachian Trail. I have 30lbs of stuff which I hope to get down to 25lbs. I had a larger pack- 6000 cu in. but when you are hiking 544 miles weight is a factor. If you are car camping or just hiking to a camp site and not moving for a week go with a larger pack. You can bring more stuff. Some thru hikers have packs with less cu in to save weight. I am not in a hurry so if I get tired I will rest and enjoy the scenery. I did buy a compression bag for my sleeping bag. It was tight w/o compression bag. My sleeping bag came with just a stuff sack. It ddin't compress the sleeping bag so I went with a compression bag. Yours may be smaller or larger than my sleeping bag. Mine is a synthetic fill rated to 20 but I think it is only good to 30. That is from years of use at different temps. I may need a new bag. Even 30 degrees is to cold for me these days. Hope this helps. Happy trails, Dave

yes, i think actually any sleeping bag would work, the hammock is actually quite roomy on the inside. I have used it extensivly and it is a great piece of camping gear

Yes... if the sleeping bag was in a compression sack, the tent was small, and you didn't need to fit much else in there.

As long as you keep your sleeping bag separate and pack light you should be okay. There is a larger size from the same manufacturer that you might want to consider.

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep.... That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is! .....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

The sleeping bag does come with a compact bag. I will be using the bag on a foreign mission trip so the compact nature (relative to other bags I looked at) will be handy.

Yes it is easy to pack is warm , is easy to carry, I would recommend it. I don't know how small you want it to be but it gets as small as a sleeping bag can get.

I don't see the blanket working as a sleeping bag on a regular basis. If necessary it would keep you warm all night but I don't see it as a good replacement. I did check the vendor site for a temp rating but it's not listed. I also sent the company an email asking what the rating was... I thought it was a good question. I have not received an answer yet but if and when I do I will update my reply.

It really depend on how good you are at rolling and folding. It's not the same but think of rolling up a sleeping bag tightly to fit back into it's bag. This unit came in a box that and was folded tightly to fit. I wasn't able to duplicate that but I was able to roll it up and put it away neatly in a storage cabinet with other camping gear. Hope that helps.

I'm 6"5 and 260 lbs and recently used this bag for the first time on a camping trip. I fit, but only just. I could lay flat with it zipped and I went end to end, but I did fit, kinda tight. when I turned to lay on my side it was pretty tight, but its a mummy bag so what'd you expect. if you have the money try and find an xl bag. but it works great id buy it again
