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.

The bag is a light weight fleece but warm. I keep it packed as part of an emergency grab and go bag. I think it was worth the purchase.

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 never had the opportunity to carry the bag in that much heat. It is well insulated and I think with extra cold packs it may be just fine. The bag was a lot larger than I thought it would be so I do not use it for work everyday. More of a cooler for special occasions.

The sleeping bag should work fine in the summer if your sleeping with a cold partner. My wife and I slept with it and had. To put some blankets over us when we used it.

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

I bought this bag because I didn't want to roast in my winter bag while sleeping inside a cruising sailboat in Florida. I also wanted a small, lightweight bag. When it's 40 to 50 degrees outside, with no heat on in the boat, I'm extremely warm and comfortable. However, I wouldn't push the limits of this bag (or any other bag), especially if you're going to be uncovered or regularly in 45 degree weather. You should purchase a bag that exceeds that limit, more like a 30-degree bag.

It's a very, very sturdy tarp. We had lots of snow/wind last winter and I didn't have any problems. I love it!!!!

It's really only warm on the top. For summer camping it should suffice. You could put another bag in it.

That means it is very warm and good for winter. I really like this Item. It confortable and warm like for a motor. You should buy it!

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 rather sturdy but I don't know how it will be in the winter. I love in Northern New Jersey, and I had only purchased this in early summer. The plastic isn't flimsy, I can hold it in one hand filled with water and it doesn't bend or seem to stress. But again, time will tell. I will likely keep it in the coop anyway winter.

I would suggest dissembling it for winter if you aren't going to use it. It stands up well, but it doesn't hurt to keep it out of the elements when you can!

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.

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

It is not sewn in and it squirms on you when you move around in it. This bag is overated about it's temperature rating, in 40 degree wx you will feel cold! I would not buy again, maybe I would if it was $25.00 and advertised as a 30 Degree bag.
