I live in Fla, what is the best bag for warm climate like mine. We also get lots of rain and I was thinking of getting a pup tent and mosqueto net

I also live in Florida (Tampa). I do most of my hiking and camping during the Fall/Winter seasons. This bag is great for warmth. The few times I go during warmer weather I just use it as a cover to lay on. As far as mosquitoes, I just use an oil free bug spray and make sure my tent stays closed at all times. I don't know a whole lot about pup tents and nets. What I do works for me. I'm going camping in Kissimmee prairie national park this may 15th. I'm going stargazing with my telescope. Luckily I'm going to be where there are actual power outlets so I bought a small box fan to put in the tent with me. I hope this helps at least little. Mike

I live in Southern California which I'm guessing is somewhat similar to Florida except in the summer when you probably have more humidity than we have. I used this sleeping bag in mid-March in the SoCal desert for three nights. Nighttime temperatures were 50° to 55° with a light wind; I was sleeping outdoors on a cot beneath a canopy. I was very comfortable in this bag.

I Just used it today under rain. Just perfect. Of course the zips are not proof. But in general is the best bag I own. MAURO

Yes, rain tight!! I would also assume snow tight although we do not get snow in South Florida. Very roomy also. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!

We haven't had heavy rain when using the tents. But it is always a good idea to use a tarp anyway. My husband and son do but that comes from being involved in scouting.

I bought a flat bottomed rabbit ear leather bog from Busnell,Sinclar, Protect Org, Quality and affordable, a pain to feel up with sand though, Good quality bags I found to be expensive this one was around 35 bucks,if interested,e-mail question 4 details

This bag is made for really cold weather, but if you don't zip it up it should be fine for warmer weather. I've used it temps of 60s and in the 20s and its a great sleeping bag

I'm pretty sure there'd still be plenty of room. My husband and I with our two dogs just stayed in the main area and there was still A TON of space around us. Since it was raining we had just about everything inside the tent with us and there was still enough space to stand and move around.

Best outside not around things that can burn.... dry season is here so beware of that. Wind is also something to watch for not being to strong.

This bag is water-resistant...not water-proof. A little rain wouldn't be a problem...but it couldn't keep your items inside dry if left in a heavy rain.

A pad or air mattress to sleep on (some campsites use crushed shell) and a sheet to keep mosquitoes off you. It rarely gets below 70 at night. As for this sleeping bag, it is very comfortable. used it in NY in 40 degree weather. Would suggest a liner to make cleaning easer. I use it as an extra sleeping pad in FL. Tonight the low here is going to be 79 in central FL.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

We live in the mountains, so it is cooler here. but the Tbag has lots of vents and I would not think it would be a problem as long as the pet was not left in the bag. There are vents for air on both sides and top, it is a super nice bag and we love ours!

No problem. You are welcome. Under porck or carpot will be fine as long don't get snow or rain. Take care of you. Enjoy your bag!

Hey Sam, I have humped all kinds of gear in high heat areas, both jungle and desert during my military career, and it all sucks and makes you sweat. I have never used the ribz in that kind of heat, but would guess they are a good deal cooler than a backpack of some sort, as they just don't cover that much area on your body. My ribz seem to just float at my sides and never really bothered me at all. Combined with a smaller backpack I think it's a great way to distribute that weight a little more evenly. I keep my must - have items and some emergency kit in the ribz and everything else goes in the pack. That's my system but there are many others. I say go for the ribz in any and all weather. Good luck!

i agree with prior responses. but i would put some padding around it still. Foam sheet perhaps... best thing for me is water tight. Don't get me wrong I won't put it in a tub of water but in the rain it works out well. It's pretty big. I packed a week's worth of cloths and everything i needed for one week in DR in a privet beach house.

I love the bag. Sturdy, roomy and it comes with a rain cover. Lots of pockets for small ites you want to access easily too.

Your comfort is probably more dependent on how warm you sleep, what you wear to sleep, and the sleeping pad you use. I used this sleeping bag in stormy 30 degree weather in Anchorage, Alaska with a NeoAir pad, lightweight thermals, fleece headband and socks and found myself to be quite warm. However, when I used it with a basic foam cell pad, I was significantly chillier. I'd definitely recommend using it in your back yard before taking it out for real. Good luck!
