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.

Not too good. It's not waterproof, so there's no extra insulation to it. Let in a breeze pretty well too. Might want a good sleeping bag depending on how cold you're talking

Maybe very snuggly, problem is that it has 2 different sides. One person would mostly have the thin layer on to and the other w/the thicker insulated top. The grey u see in the pic is a thin breathable fabric, no padding. The blue side is the padded/stuffed/insulated side. Its built like that so you can flip it, for more or less insulation. Definately not a cold weather bag. Spring/summer. More Summer, LOL.

Yes, this is the bag that is part of the system, it snaps in. I had to look at multiple pictures to make sure myself but it was the right one. Awesome set up, I would suggest the Goretex (bivy) outer cover it blocks out the moisture in the cold weather. Good luck.

I only wear it when it's really cold, cause I'm the same way. It does seem "breathable" though. We had a really cold snowy winter last year and I wore it sleigh riding a few times, and I sweat even when it's freezing out. I really do like the coat a lot.

The bag is a type of canvas. I suspect it would be light rain resistant but have no idea about anything heavier or snow. The wheels are the standard size, so it would roll best on smooth surfaces. It has been quite durable. Good luck with your search.

Its very long. But one thing I don't think they are meant to be out in the very cold temperatures. I noticed the plastic is starting to crack. My suggestion is to bring it in for the winter.

I have used it in weather that was below freezing and i was fine. I was just sleeping in this sleeping bag out in the open.

The bag is insulated, so it should keep things warm as well as cool. Haven't really tried it though. I heat my lunch at work usually. Very happy with this product overall. If you want something designed specifically to stay warm check out warmandtote.comMy daughter bought a couple of these for my grandsons and they work great

It's great just get one size bigger than you normally would and you'll have enough room for 2 thinner or 1 thick layer underneath. Its very lightweight. I'm not sure about how warm it is in extreme cold though because I just bought it.

I slept in it in freezing temps in an unexpected early August snow shower during a northern Maine canoe trip - not sure exactly how low it got that night but there was ice and snow all over the ground and in our canoe in the morning. I am a very warm sleeper and made it through all right that night, but it is certainly not built for those conditions. You will survive in it, but you will not be happy in the morning. I would typically opt for a 0 degree down bag if I'm expecting 30 degree temps...gives you a margin of safety and comfort...plus a 700+ fill factor 0 degree down bag weighs about the same as this bag. This bag is well worth the money for a summer bag though.

the directions say it is too stay outdoors, mine ie out on front porch for the winter covered up with a burlap bag which is what they say to do with it in the winter, i just hope it survives the cold winter we are having.

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.

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

Actually it's perfect! I'm 5'7 too, so warm and non-restricting. It got down to about 15 degrees and I used a fleece liner and I was perfectly comfortable. My boyfriend has the same bag, though he is almost 6 ft. He ended up too warm because of the bag.

Yep its completely waterproof. I dont know about snow because it doesn't snow here, but chucked it down with rain the first day I used and everything was fine :-) totally recommend this bag.
