Review on Experience Ultimate Comfort With REDCAMP Flannel Sleeping Bag For Adults – Detachable Hood And Three Color Options For All Your Camping Needs by Nolan White

I purchased this sleeping bag for field drills with the Army National Guard.It packs very small, is lighter than the USGI summer sleeping bag, and leaves me at 6'2" with plenty of room for boots and uniforms and anything else I would like to not sleep on top of, but have warm in the morning.The extra pocket is a nice touch, letting me store a small flashlight or headlamp in a consistent and conspicuous place in case I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and forget my own name.Most importantly of all, the flannel feels very warm and soft compared to the nylon of the USGI bag I purchased this to replace.The negatives I have for this sleeping bag so far are mostly nitpicks, but I feel people should understand some of its limitations and plan around them.Under about 40°F, a bivy, insert, or wubbie is needed to keep the cold air from coming through onto you in a very bone-chilling way. In mornings after such nights, the dew tends to seep into the outside of the bag when I decide not to cover it and allow it to accumulate.The quilting and the outside of the sleeping bag are very thin and flimsy, so it should not be used on the bare ground.The zipper readily skips and is difficult to zip up from the outside, and the velcro retainer wears out extremely quickly.After about a week of use, the flannel lining starts to feel matted and gross. Although I face the same problem with nylon bags, the accumulation of grime seems to happen more quickly with this flannel one.Washing is a process, however I've only hand washed it in a tub, sprayed it down with a hose, and air dried it.Overall, this is a fantastic sleeping bag for the price, and great for anyone looking for a light and comfortable option appropriate for cool nights by itself, or cold nights with additional preparation.
