Isn't it going to be too warm for summer nights? I'm looking for a sleeping bag for camping during late spring/summer/early fall. Thanks

Depends on what you're wearing ;)It would be too warm for summer, but I'd say it's adequate for spring/fall colder nights.

we were fine when we used the sleeping bag At the end of July and then August. Very Confy

I would not recommend for cold weather. The reason we bought them is they zip together and wife and I could zip them together and sleep like in double bed. Zipper is a bit weak but overall a decent price and worked for us...

I don't think it meets the criteria for a sleeping bag. I would not let my child sleep in it outdoors on the ground. It is too thin. My grandson uses it more for play. It's a nap mat.

I own this pack. I carry a highly compressible sleeping bag (Lafuma Lightway 45) hammock and fly, clothes, food and stove, as well as the water bag. It all fits fine. When I camp i don't carry everything under the sun though. I use this pack for bike camping as it is a good size for mountain biking. If your sleeping bag does not compress down very much you should skip this pack.

I've used it in both summer conditions and down to freezing. I'm buying a warmer bag for cold nights, but for temperatures down to 40 it works fine, and it's a great price and weight for a summer sleeping bag.

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.

We haven't seen an issue with it being hot or too warm. But, remember, it's still rather chilly here in Wisconsin at night, and we find it very comfortable! I will say, seeing as I run "warm" and appreciate cooler temps, I haven't had any problem feeling too warm at night! Maybe a bit early for us to judge that until the evenings warm up.....but so far, very comfortable!

sorry its taken so long to get back to you I don't use this e-mail often but the answer if you have the room I would recommend a ground pad, the bag is great it will keep you very warm even in sub zero temps. hope this helps

Yes, I think it would be if you combined it with layered sleep ware, wool socks, and a beanie. I used it at 20 degrees and was toasty. Please be aware that sleeping bags ratings are based on survivability not comfort. Pros: very warm and comfortable. Non-mummy bag provides lots of room. Cons: It's a very large bag thus takes up a lot of space in the car or camper. Car camping only. Designed to accommodate big people. My suggestion to others is: buy two smaller bags.

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. ;)

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.

I use a 3 layer military all season sleeping bag with an air mattress. So I would assume any type of sleeping bag would be good. I have lots of room with what I use.

hello chris I have two of these and I would not think they would be for any kind of cold weather they are very light weight and I was a little disappointed with them once I got them they put me more in the mind of a kids sleeping bag.

If it helps, I just used mine on an air mattress on a 40-50° night. Had to zip up the sleeping bag, but slept "ok" in my clothes. I am a cold weather person though.

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

I didn't try this sleeping bag yet since it was too hot to use this in summer. But, product specification said that "Great for big & tall sizes: measures 39-Inchx81-Inch and fits most people up to 6-Inch4-Inch". Of course, if you can attach a second sleeping bag to it, you will be OK.

I've never had this bag at -30 degrees, but I've had it at near 0 degrees. It is a comfortable bag, warm but do not layer up on your clothing. Because this bag is made to reflect body heat back inward. I am 5'8" and find this bag to be a little too roomy with too much air space inside. But you can pull the bag into you to eliminate the air space. All in all it is a good bag, but is made more for a person of 6' + the company would do well to make various sizes bags for various size people.

It's rated as a light weight bag. At cold temps the bag will not be enough to keep warmth. We use for sleepovers but our home has heat and air.
