Two sleeping bags for $20? Thats a great deal! Even cheap-o bags cost like $50 usually. I would be in for two if I really needed them, but alas I do not at the moment.

My MH ultra lamina is 84 inches long and is designed for someone up to 6'6". It has a footbox and I'm assuming this one does as well, so it should be good for pretty much anyone not over 6'5" or so.

Centimeters? Really?

But if I go in for 3, can I zip all 6 of them together to make the king of all sleeping bags?

apcray or not, it'll be nice to have a couple to stash on the boat.

Exactly... If people are going to get into serious camping, you'll want to look elsewhere and you probably already know that. BUT if you're looking for a few summer trips to the camp grounds, national parks, etc. they'll work fine.

But the picture shows two bags, each with a right-hand zipper. Ideally you want one to be right-hand and one to be left-hand. You can still zip two right-hand zippers together, but one of the bags will end up upside down.

So what's the real story? Is the picture accurate, or does one of the bags come with a right-hand zipper and the other with a left-hand one?

Very astute, Yumi, but I think the picture shows one olive and one black. Hopefully, you would get two olive, one right-zip and one left-zip (or two black). Or not. Maybe someone at Woot! central will take pity on you and find the answer in the next few hours. (Or maybe Heck will freeze over. Who knows? Could happen.)

It's best to be prepared for something warmer than your expected environment.

According to this site, these bags are rated perfectly for summer camping. ¡Vamos a Yosemite!

In for 2. We'll see how they hold up in a CO campground in a coupla weeks.

Next, Woot, I need A big cooler for my food!

To be fair it is -6 to 11 in Celsius which it was probably originally speced in... I would still be freezing my ass off at either temp in these bags...

Size: 210×75/50 cm
For the inch-inclined, that would be ~83" by 30"/17"

These are light gear- like the kind you would use in a tent on the beach in south Padre. Not really the type you use for rocky mountain trips.

75 and 80 in the day on the Mountain can turn into 20 at night in a flash.

Agreed but the camp is in Texas and it will probably be around 80 degrees at night here in June. I do agree that he will need something more durable for the trips to Colorado next year. Plus I am always needing one for my kids and their friends spending the night here at home.

watching the havoc? Anyway, there are TWO zippers on each bag so it will work. Haven't you people ever zipped a couple sleeping bags together?

"These are lightweight, water-resistant, and VERY compact when it comes to fitting in the sleeping bag compartment of your backpack. With the addition of a thin sleeping pad, we slept just GREAT for our four-night stay."

i'm in for a set. i only go camping spring till september. dont really need a $100 or more bag for nothing lower than 50*F

That would be to -6C to 11C. Just like 98.6F is an exact conversion from the approximate average body temperature of the nice round number 37C.

The number of zippers doesn't matter--since these are mummy style unless you have a right-hand and left-hand pair, you'll end up with the hood in your face.

down to 21F???? That means you're going to freeze your as- off if the outside temp drops below 50F!
Don't do it!!!

How do you figure?

Agentbolt wrote:For everyone hammering these poor things for being cheap garbage that won't keep you warm, you don't know what you're talking about.

ALL sleeping bags, even Wal-Mart specials, will keep you warm. The better bags are just more compressible, keep their loft better, and are tougher. With a ground pad (which anyone sleeping outside should have regardless) I guarantee these things will work do to 35 or so degrees Farenheit. And who really goes camping in colder weather than that (who doesn't already have a l33t Mountain Hardwear bag)?

While these bags may prove to be a great value (price vs. quality), it is ridiculous to say that all sleeping bags have the same ability to insulate.

To imply that a high-fill down bag is no better than polyester at warming in cold weather is disingenuous at best.

Amen.

I was unfocused when I first loaded the main web page. I thought the deal was for some expensive, shaggy looking sandles.

Are we all forgetting that this is 24.99? For two bags... just what I needed. Thanks Woot!

These are not compact. At all. At all. At all. Did you hear me? NOT. COMPACT. AT. ALL.

Big. Bulky. Large. Cumbersome.

So the Temp Range is: 21.2 F to 51.8 F and because of global warming I should be just fine.

In for 2 X 2= 4 total sleeping bags. Thanks w00t! All I need is something to cover me living in Sicily and during the summers in Utah. Boy Scouts everywhere appreciate you!
Ciao.

Ugh. I'm going to do the non-woot approved thing and admit that maybe, perhaps I was wrong. And then just blame it on a blond moment.

Im up in MN, i camp mainly once a year in July. This a good sleepin bag? Its normally about 90-100 degrees durin the day, and around 75 or so at night. The sleepin bag i have now makes it so around 8am or so everyday when i camp, i get woken up cause of the heat. But at night im normally freezin. lol
if any of this made sense, please help me

You're a bad person for supplying your boy scouts with such poor quality sleeping bags. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Well, crumm. This is better than the ones that died when someone torched my VW van and the one I've still got left - which was pretty decent when I first bought it - is starting to show irreparable tears, rips, and nasties. In for one, I guess.

I've encountered the same problem once or twice on some really hot summers. I'd suggest using a sleeping bag completely unzipped as a base and then some blankets so you can throw them off unconscionably when it gets hot, or you could get up at 8am and do the whole breakfast in the morning thing.

harry1167 wrote:In for one pair. Can't beat the price and my son is having his first boy scout campout here in a couple of weeks. Good job Woot.

Nooooo! Don't skimp on his sleeping bag. For actual campouts these aren't going to do much. Kelty is good for BSA. Reasonably priced, and they'll last. I'm still using the one I bought 13 years ago for scouts (over 200 nights in it).

I also gotta say, if a sleeping bag weighs 1.5 lbs. and it's made of 100% polyester, it's a mighty thin bag. Most decent poly bags weigh 3-5 lbs. and it's hard to find even a down bag weighing only 1.5 lbs. So, it sounds like these will NOT have much protection from the ground and only minimal warmth. If you buy these, better get a foam ground pad or you'll feel every pebble under you the next morning!

Hey do they come with the carry sacks??
