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.

The Coleman Nimbus seeping bag is a good choice. I'm a Floridaan and this was a good choice f or me

I am 6'6" and my sons are taller, so I can identify with your comfort challenge. We designed a couple of sleeping bags for our own comfort; the first being the CampingMaxx Comfort Lite. This is 86" long and full width. This would be my first choice. In October, we will have a series mummy bags which are 38" at the shoulders and 83" in length. These are certified at -40, -20, 0, and +20F in the larger size. If you have additional questions, just ask - Jerry - The Gear Guy

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 can be packed tightly to smaller then a regular sleeping bag. The bag comes with a packing bag of it's own and fits nicely. Be aware the temp of 23f is not accurate and is more like a temp of 45f for use.

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.

This Military Surplus Sleeping Bag is rated to be used in temperatures between +30 degrees to -10 degrees...add patrol bag and bivvy and i believe it can get to -40, although you will need thermals....

Absolutely. I took it backpacking last week and it was 32 degrees in the morning. The compression sack it comes with is fine. The straps look like they will tear under pressure at some point but so far so good.

Probably a small unless they have a smaller one. These things are pretty big. Consider whether or not you pack a lot of things on the outside of your bag like sleeping pad

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.

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?

we went on a camping trip the week we received the sleeping bags, it got down to 35 degrees one night we were warm and toasty very warm absolutely LOVE the sleeping bags!

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 didn't find the bag to be too hot. We overnighted at just above an 8,500ft summit in Southern California with windy conditions and it kept me warm. It's light weight material allows for good night sleep in most conditions. It should be comfortable to use in both situations.

Is it possible to have a light weight sleeping bag for summer? That was my solution. I LOVE this bag!

When I think of a sleeping bag, I think camping. This is not meant for outdoor/tent sleeping. It is basically a comforter that zippers closed. I think they call it a nap mat because it comes in a little "back pack"/sack that can be carried along to family/friends/school for a nap.

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.
