It keeps me warm while wearing pajamas. It is terribly heavy for backpacking and definitely not rated correctly. If you just can’t afford a better bag…DO NOT GO OUT IN COLD WEATHER OR YOU WILL REGRET IT. The only way you would sleep well in this bag is if you are under 5’5″ and very slender and use it summer nights or maybe push it to early fall.

Shopping for sleeping bags is overwhelming. There are just so many bags available. I did a good Ozark Trail Canopies bit of research before purchasing ours. Of course, I wanted something that would keep us warm.
I would not recommend this product to anyone unless I wanted them to freeze and get a terrible night’s sleep. I nearly froze to death on the trail, Ozark Trail Sleeping Bags and craftsmanship is garbage (to put it mildly). The bag is machine-washable and the lightweight design fits easily in both the washer and dryer.
I bought the zero degree bag and nearly froze to death. This is more like a 40 degree bag rating. Day one, night one…the zipper tore and cord in hood broke. Day 2 …it was closer to 6 degree and I froze…I had to hike into town, replace the bag.
The rectangular shape provides more legroom so you can sleep comfortably and roll from side to side. For even more space or to make it into a two-person bag, zip two bags together to double the size. With the return of the colder weather, it is time to pull out our winter sleeping bags.
