Going camping in late fall or early spring? The Coleman Brazos Cold-Weather Sleeping Bag may be just right for your adventure.

The outside of the sleeping bag is made of polyester and the inside lining is a soft tricot-knit.
The sleeping bag is insulated with the plush insulation filling, which won’t shift due to Fiberlock Construction technology. 2-sided zipper installed in the bag is snag proof and prevents the heat from escaping.

The bottom line
This sleeping bag is obviously too heavy and bulky for a backpacking trip. Use it if you go camping by car.
It will keep you warm, but not sweaty if the temperatures don’t exceed 50° F (10° C). If it gets warmer outside, look for another, less warm bag.
If you feel strained in your mummy sleeping bag, this one will set you free – it gives plenty of movement freedom while sleeping.
Some users report that it is quite tricky to stuff it into the bag, but once you practice a bit, it is a piece of cake.
