Coleman Stratus Fleece Sleeping Bag Liner, 50°F Sleeping Bag for Adults, Adds 12°F More Warmth When Used to Line Another Sleeping Bag, Stuff Sack Included

I purchased 4 of these liners to compare. We're mostly car camping for the foreseeable future, and as I've gotten older I'm more sensitive to the cold, so I'm looking to add a few degrees to my 10° down bag.They all are plenty big and retained about the same amount of heat, raising the temp inside the bag with me inside about 5° after 15 minutes, (based on our smart thermostat sensor).The Redcamp was the beefiest by weight (1lb 9.4oz), by the zipper was so incredibly slick it moves on its own! No way it is staying zipped up all night.The Osage River was fine, basically the same as the Coleman but slightly lighter weight (1lb 1.8oz) and about $10 more.The Litume was the smallest and lightest weight (15.1oz), although it felt heaviest when draped on my legs. It's made from micro fleece with a smooth outer cover. It's really nice, and came in a high quality compression sack. But I don't think it adds any more heat than the others, and since I don't plan on doing any backpacking the weight and compression aren't of value to me. I ordered the zipper less version, so can't speak to durability of the zipper.The Coleman is about the same as the Osage River and Redcamp models, but was the cheapest AND was 1/3 the price of the Litume. The zipper is super beefy. It weighed in much heavier than the Osage River but only slightly behind Redcamp at 1lb 9oz.If the Litume was the same price or ithought I would use it for backpacking, I would probably go for it, but the Coleman is the clear winner for our current setup.

I was able to use a Coleman Stratus bag a few times last year, so I knew what I was getting when I made this purchase. Makes a good indoor or travel fleece bag or throw. Can be used by itself as a warm weather sleeping bag. Also makes a good bag supplement or blanket in combination with your regular sleeping bag when camping. Accurate and useful product description. Size regular: 75 inches long, 33 inches wide when zipped, so it fits those who are less than 6 feet tall. A 50 degree F minimum temperature rating when used by itself (just don’t expect to be “toasty warm” at that temperature). When used with your primary sleeping bag, improves your bag’s temperature rating by about 12 degrees F. Can be used as a liner for similar sized rectangular sleeping bags. Large enough to fit over a mummy style bag (much easier than trying to use it as a liner); as long as you have good wind protection from a tent, camper shell, trailer, or RV, there will be little or no loss of temperature performance when doing this. The 2 pound weight is consistent with the temperature performance claims. I am skeptical of other similar sized fleece bags that make the same temperature performance claims while weighing in at only about 1 pound. One of the best zippers I have ever found on a sleeping bag.Comes with a fairly tight stuff sack. Getting the bag back into the stuff sack after the first use took a little bit of experimentation. Zip the bag closed and lay it flat. Fold the bag width in thirds so that the folded width matches the length of the stuff sack. Fold the bag length in half. Roll from the middle to the end and secure with the elastic strap. Shove the rolled bag back into the stuff sack.

I bought two of these back in Feb to use on a winter camping trip with my son's Boy Scout troop. I just ordered 3 more so everyone in the family now has one. In the winter, they worked great as sleeping bag liner and kept us warm when the temps got down to the 20s at night (sleeping bags are rated to 30 degrees). In May I took these on a camping trip with one of my daughter's Girl Scout troop. We used only these at night, no sleeping bags, and were comfy with the temps in the mid-to-high-50s at night. No more bringing sleeping bags for family camping trips in the spring/summer/fall! These are smaller and take up way less space in the car than 5 sleeping bags (even though they compress well and are backpacking sleeping bags) - which is nice.They are good quality. You can unzip them completely so they lay flat to use as a blanket, too.

We purchased the Coleman Fleece Sleeping Bags probably 15 years ago, before kids. Now that our family has grown we wanted to get more of the fleece sleeping bags so each member of the family could have one. I was very happy to find them on Amazon!This sleeping bag is perfect for summer camping. Gives you just enough warmth to cover up. You can use them in the late spring and early fall as well when the regular types of sleeping bags are just too hot!We did use these on a camping trip where the temps dipped into the 50s at night and we were cold. That said, we had not looked close enough at the forecast, and wore shorts to bed. It had been over 100 degrees during the day about 2 hours away where we lived and we figured it must be just as warm. Had we slept with sweat pants and a sweatshirt we might have been okay.My kids are involved in Scouts, and this sleeping bag is perfect for them. It is light weight and does not take up much space in their bag. They usually pack it right in with their clothes and other gear. I wish the stuff sack were slightly larger though because even when you roll it perfectly it is difficult to fit inside. The kids usually do their best to roll it up and I have to fix it once they are home.Overall it is a great sleeping bag for late spring through mid-fall. You can use it as a liner if you do go winter camping. The only reason for giving it a 4 star rating instead of a 5 is because of the precision needed to roll the sleeping bag perfectly and then get it into the provide bag.
