yes they are. You will want to wash them in a front load washer (NO AGITATOR) with a mild detergent and dry them outside. You can put them in a large commercial dryer on the LOWEST heat possible (air if available) and put a couple of old tennis three-dimensional circles in with them. This will help restore the loft (poofiness) to the fill in these bags. Dont store them in the stuff sacks that come with them or the fill will be forever flat.

Are these slippers USB 2.0-compatible?

Ha!

Anyway I go camping every few years, usually with borrowed equipment. So for once I'll know what I'm getting into.

(Ha!)

But with the all-poly build, a liner with natural fabrics is a necessity for wicking, right? Otherwise, the insides will be slick with sweat in the morning, I assume.

Now to figure out why people keep asking if two slippers can be zipped together.

Too funny.. for a split second, I saw the same thing!

This is one Eagle that would never touch these things.

I'm an Eagle scout & I bought 6. I'm married to someone who won't camp in cold weather anyway.

That's an interesting idea. I'll try it when they arrive.

Hah! me too!!

for $12.50/each shipped, can't beat the deal and you never know when you need them. Got 2 thanks!

I like that they zip together. Nice feature for camping with a lady.

I am an eagle scout and I would not recommend this for your son. You should spend a few extra bucks for a nicer one so he doesn't freeze.

We camp in the summer...I am sure when we hit San Juan Capistrano next weekend, it will be a freezing 50 degrees in the middle of the night...and I assume we camp like most people...easy camping, beer, steaks, good toilets and showers.

These will be perfect!

Does anyone know how well these would (or would not) work if they were to get wet?

in fer 2. Kids, sleepovers, avoiding the saggy bed at grandma's house... Love the 2fers

I guess some wooters just don't know how to use the scroll function on their mouse to get to the description.

Just to make them feel at home...what color is olive?

Do these bags really zip together to form a double person bag? Don't you need one right and one left? Has anyone ever tried putting them together?

Jonas4321 wrote:Not when 99F can actually be considered a slight fever,

Silly if you do. Wikipedia has a chart that shows how body temperature varies by over 1C during the day. And this is just the "average" human temperature.

"The range for normal human body temperatures, taken orally, is 36.8±0.7 °C (98.2±1.3 °F).[1] This means that any oral temperature between 36.1 and 37.5 °C (96.9 and 99.5 °F) is likely to be normal."

Woot n00b in for 2! Hope these things don't suck.

These bags are actually a great example of synergy. When zipped together they actually form a triple person bag. Unfortunately, when I did it they almost instantly imploded, though YMMV.

wanpakumono wrote:Can these be zipped together for those of us who are a bit "fuller-figured?"

no.these are "mummy" style bags,good for only one.not bad as an intermediate bag,and price is great,but they don't wash well and rip easily when snagged.

What size are these? The purchase screen says "High Peak Simex Sport Sirius Sleeping Bag - 2 Pack (s)" what does "(s)" mean??

woohoo for zipping together and making whoopie! can't wait to try it!

I'm an Eagle Scout too, and I have to sort of disagree.

The "Eagle Scout" idea of getting a sleeping bag is something that can keep you warm in more than just your day and overnight hike. Something can can keep you warm below freezing.

So, if you're planning on going on a big hiking trip and have many more on the way, I would not recommend these either.

As for the kid boyscout, this is a decent start out bag. In the beginning it's all extremely basic. Eventually you'll need to get a better one, but if he's just starting out then that's MANY years down the road, if he even gets that far. I hope he does, and good luck to him. My first sleeping back was a walmart one just like this.

But if you're just in need of a sleeping bag since you don't have one, and are planning to use them mainly for the sleep overs, something for a kid's friend to stay over and sleep in, or maybe a summer hike once or twice a year, or just having one just in case you need it, then I recommend getting one in that it seems decent, simple, and nothing fancy.
You don't need to waste money on fancy unless you're going to do fancy stuff.

Bouncing ball means you are incorrect. We are indoor people that like to pretend we will someday go outdoors.

You'll get it in about a week or so. Smart post is only slow during high shipping times, like christmas.

Im not a eagle scout but I am in the military, it all depends on what time of year you plan on going out. If you are going to be going out in the summer and the night tempetures are only mild, like the 50s range, these will be great. If you are going out in spring or fall you may want to take one rated for those temperatures. It never hurts to a different bag for each season.
