Amazon Basics Portable Envelope Sleeping Bag

I wanted to have a cold weather option on a cheap budget. Sadly this product is a case of you get what you pay for. Though I got it at $15 on sale, I am returning this. I also purchased the Coleman Brazos to compare with and decided to keep the slightly more expensive Coleman. On the Amazon Basics sleeping bag, the inner liner feels more like a generic microfiber lens cleaner. The Coleman is slightly nicer. I would prefer an all smooth shell polyester lining, but I suppose some of the warmth comes from the inner material. While the weight and bulk of the Amazon and Coleman bags is about the same, the Coleman is more compressible which makes it slightly easier to pack, though barely - I resorted to using separately purchased tie-down straps to make it practical to fit the sack over. The Coleman also has perceptively much better cloth and a superior zipper. Another negative is that the Amazon bag leaves about 4 inches by your head unzipped. Why they would choose to do this is beyond my comprehension. The last complaint is that without being able to compress this bag easily, it became a wrestling match to get the bag back in its sack. The force I exerted started to warp the sack cloth.On the positive side, while I preferred the Coleman over this, the differences arent night and day. If you find this for half the price of a Coleman, say if the price of the Coleman increases, then I would recommend this bag. Right now the price differential is $5 which makes it harder for me to justify keeping the Amazon. Secondly, while I could call the material and workmanship inferior, it would be a major disservice since there are actually far more inferior bags for the same or higher price.In conclusion, this bag looks like a decent buy with better options, but if you find it on sale for $15-$20 it's a no brainer. However, I could only justify using it if you really need it during lower temps. Otherwise a light 40 Degree bag is much more enjoyable to use.

I used this sleeping bag in below freezing weather, sleeping inside my car while camping at a national park for 1 week. The bag part passed the test very well. It was warm, comfortable and not heavy. The outer lining of the bag is of a slippery, soft material. (I wish it was rip-stop) But it worked fine. The inner soft material was comfortable, while sleeping in thermals.The zipper to one of the bags slipped off the top completely. (on night 3 or 4) Then the bag started opening. And we could never get the zipper to do its job properly the rest of the trip. The quality of every part of the zipper is very low. The size of the zipper is too small for the size of the bag and the expected use case. The pull tabs of the zipper are barely thicker then an an aluminum can tab. And they don't have any string pulls on them to make reaching them easier once inside, at night.Overall it's a good bag, with a bad zipper. If this bag was improved to have a good quality zipper it would be a very good camping item. Also, compression sack is too small and too thin material. Sleeping bag will eventually fit in the compression sack, but with too much effort and eventually the compression sack will likely tear apart at the seams due to having to press the bag in with too much pressure.

Lets start with build quality. Other reviewers have mentioned build quality issues So I peeked closely at the stitches and my bags have better stitching and build quality than other bags in a similar price range I have owned in the past. I usually buy car camping bags as I don't hike. The cold weather bags are bigger\thicker than my normal mild weather bags I have bought and I bet they are using the same size storage bag for the cold as they are for the mild as It is nearly impossible to get the sleeping bag back into the storage bag. I'm not going to use them, not worth the headache and the words that would make a sailor blush.I would say build quality and performance is generally better than other bags at this price point. If you get it on a deep discount as I did, I believe 11 bucks if I'm not mistaken its a steal.

I almost didn’t buy them because people said they don’t zip together.... well they do. It makes a very big cozy bed. Like a Queen size.There is a small whole at the bottom about 4inches where the zippers don’t connect the space. So when u I zip it it lays flat. There’s a pic. The whole is maybe 1-2 inches when the bag is closed up. So not a sealed sleeping bag.The fabric on the inside is polyester that catches my bare feet, which is why I gave it a 4 stars for comfort. It’s very plush like a new thick comforter. It is going to be good for sleepovers and camping. I will update my review when we go!There is also a very cool pocket like maybe 5x7 sized up by your head to keep your phone or flashlight close by with a Velcro seal. I am pleased with the product for the price.

A bit bulky, but you can’t find a better sleeping bag for under $18. (A great family/recreational choice)My kid stays warm on cool nights and uses it for extra padding on warm nights.

Very lightweight and worked well. The only thing I disliked was that the inner fabric didn’t feel great on bare skin-my arms felt like they were catching on the fabric. Otherwise, it was great though!

The sleeping bag itself seemed fine, however, the zippers did not inspire confidence that they would last.In my opinion, the material of the bags themselves are what I was looking for. But the zippers don’t seem like they will hold up over time.One thing I recognized about the really good sleeping bags are the zippers feeling as though they are substantial.As though they will not kink or fray easily.

Perfect for usGot them for the RV and unzipped fully to use like a comforterOne completely opened was plenty for a queen sized bed

Its very good at low temperature. I used it in 3 to 8 degrees in himalayas. But the outer cloth might tear as it's delicate. Same with the cover. Handle tore due to low outer quality meterial.Not for harsh use.or indian use.

Good at new but size is big for sleeping bag can be used as blanket for 2 people.zipper quality is not good.

Great sleeping bag and affordable, nice purchase. It is thicker than expected and did not fit on my internal frame 45L backpack. Used it for camping throughout the summer. The zip-together feature is great if you have 2 of these. Inside fabric is a bit on the coarse side and can catch if you have dry skin (especially hands and feet) but this was not a big annoyance for us. I feel it could be used all year round, depending on the degree of extremes.

Basic but bold keeper of warm, warmth and sleep in me. It keeps me comfortable over hard plys, floor and in cold. Easy to clean, carry, set up and even to wrap up. I used it successfully in my State Panchayatiraj Election Duties in winter season in the year 2018.

Very perfect, and nice product, and i got this from GREAT Amazon's, using in this winter, size is big , comfort, and the products was as descrybed.Thanks...
