What is the packed size, and the warmth comfort rating of the poncho liner VS, the GREEN PATROL SLEEPING BAG? which is warmer, packs smaller?

"Travel light freeze the night." I've use this liner many nights in the mountains of the North East. It rolls up enough to pack but would pack best with a compression bag. Along with my poncho it has keep me warm and dry enough to make it through cold Spring, Summer, and Fall nights in the woods.

The liner should be seen as strictly secondary. It may hold some heat, but not close to the patrol bag. But, the liner can pack smaller and even as part of a worn poncho... so, figure the liner is good for carrying in colder weather as a secondary thing, but not going to be what you need in a cold night by itself.

The poncho liner otherwise known as a "woobie" is a must for cuddling with it, do not leave home without it. It will pack down way smaller than the patrol bag, but is not as warm. I would recommend to anyone to buy both, you will not regret it, because you can mix and match them depending on the temperature. I have used the woobie in the +50F range and woobie and patrol bag for +30 weather. I have the mss 4 piece system and use my woobie to mix and match for the weather expected.

patrol bag will be warmer but won't pack as small or be as light to carry. With the patrol bag however, you can get pretty small with a compression sack, though I suppose you could use a small compression sack with the liner as well...

this one is about 3.25 lbs and can be compressed down "Not recommended for storage but in backpack trail mode" to the size of a basket ball. Hope this helps its pretty warm bag I have had it down to 25 degrees and was warm. Remember there are several important factors for sleeping warm. Eating well good sleeping pad and tent placement and a few other things.

So , the poncho liner is the name , but in the field we know that it is basically a very light compactable blanket , I can say that i have never and i have never seen anyone acutally use this with their poncho unless it was as a sleeping back , so i would say this is not really to be used as a " poncho liner " if you are wearing your poncho as wet weather gear . Its just a really good feild blanket or blanket in general. super lightweight and compacts really good .

Carpe...I don't use the stuff sack for the poncho. I either fold it back up into the hat part of the poncho or I fold it in such a manner to fit on the bottom of my backpack. I use the sack that the poncho came in for my water filter. Bye the way, this is a great poncho. I hike a lot since I retired and what I like about it the most is when it starts to rain I pull it off the bottom of my pack and slip it on. Don't have to pull my pack off to get to it and it fits really well over me and my pack. Hope these ideas help. Just use the sack for something else.

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?

I got the Coleman North Rim 0 Degree Sleeping Bag and I use the Medium bags... It might fit in the small but I had a really hard time trying to get my sleeping bag into the compression bag... I bought these a couple years ago.... There was an option to buy a 3 pack with different sizes... I use the other two sizes for other stuff when I hike...

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 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.

All depends on what you ae doing, for camping I like the smaller one. It is easier to pack.

I am six feet tall and comfortable, keep in mind these are a mummy style bags so not a lot of wiggle room for your legs. The Intermediate Cold bag (which goes inside the Patrol Bag) is 7&#8242; 3&#8243; long x 2&#8242; 11&#8243; wide at the widest point and 2&#8242; wide at the narrowest point (the foot of the bag).

I'm a Scoutmaster for a Troop in California. This bag is awesome, I've used it down to 19 degrees at night in the upper desert. I though I would be cold, but no way. Just remember to wear something on your head and clean wool socks and your good to go....

about 40F. you can increase that by 5-10F with a liner, which are inexpensive and a good thing to do if used regularly. the thing is very lightweight and can be compressed down to a very manageable size - its my backpacking bag. I don't do that in snow.

I have the camo and its weight is 3lbs. The construction and materials are awesome! It will last for years. I'm not sure about the green one. I would assume its a type-O. Sorry I couldn't help more,goodluck and happy trails.

I don't even understand what they are talking about? The liner is part of the bag...they are not two different pieces. Its a super awesome sleeping bag. I hope this helped

Yes, this is the best sleeping bag I have ever used, it has plenty of room, and is well insulated, I'm a lot bigger now than when I was in the army. I would highly recommend this sleeping bag to whomever camps, get one you'll thank me later.
