Slumberjack Bonnie & Clyde 30 to 40 Degree Sleeping Bag Review

Slumberjack Bonnie & Clyde 30 to 40 Degree Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this sleeping bag being a little skeptical at first, once it arrived i set it up. I am 6'2" and weigh about 240lbs., my wife is 5'9" and weighs, well who knows they never tell but i would guess about 120lbs. We also have a 1 year old, all 3 of us fit in very cozy, also the flannel lining is the ultimate. I also had thought the pillows would be kind of shoddy, to my surprise they were not, and flannel lined even makes more comfortable than they already are. Highly recommended to all.

Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

Softie Elite 5 Civilian Blue Chrysalis Expedition Right Zip Review

Softie Elite 5 Civilian Blue Chrysalis Expedition Right Zip
Average Reviews:

This bag is amazing.I searched long and hard for the best synthetic sleeping bag and this is it.I am a huge guy, 6'1 300lbs and though it is a little "snug" for me it keeps me VERY warm on the coldest nights.Many times I unzip the bag so as to not over-heat.In warmer temps I keep it unziped and it works great.SnugPak Softie Elite 5 is what the UK special forces use in cold weather and I can see why.It has great loft and is impregnated with thermo-reflective material to keep your body warmth in and will protect you more from losing heat into the ground.Very easy to wash and dry and is made of great quality materials.It does have a unique baffle system (more than one zipper) to regulate how warm you want to be.If you are looking for a synthetic sleeping bag that will keep you as warm (or even warmer!) than most down bags, this is what you want.I am ordering a second one for my little boy. :)

Special Forces 1 Olive Review

Special Forces 1 Olive

Uhhh...what can I say. First off, I recieved a Merlin Softie 3 in a Special Forces 1 stuff sack. I dont know whether Im reviewing a special forces bag or a softie 3. Still dont know what to think of that. Maybe thats just the way they roll or some manufacturing error. I dunno. Secondly, I used it in mild temps (40F-50F) and was pretty uncomfortable. Ibought the snugpak fleece liner and that helped but now youre talking $200 for the bag and another $60 for the liner...too expensive to justify keeping. I sent it back. If youre willing to freeze just to have a really really compact bag then go for it. When youre out in the wild or even in your back yard being warm and comfortable is key. Quality sleep is key. Its light, compact and well madebut giving it a 40F comfort rating is stretching it. I wouldnt use this bag below 50F. I wouldnt mind trying one of their heavier bags just to see how they perform.

very happy with this canopy. the only drawback is it really takes 2 people to put it up. if your looking for something portable this is not it, but i use it to cover my hot tub in the summer and i am very happy with the quality. much better then what i saw at sams & lowes & home depot. i dont think it could hold up to a big snow storm, so i will take it down in the fall, but overall it is very sturdy.i would recommend it to others.

Minn Kota® 55 Power - Drive™ V2 / AutoPilot™ Bow Mount 12V Trolling Motor Review

Minn Kota® 55 Power - Drive™ V2 / AutoPilot™ Bow Mount 12V Trolling Motor
Average Reviews:

I got this motor under recommendation from a family member who is a professional fisherman. I also added a not included copilot, which uses a hand transmitter rather than the wired foot pedal that comes with it.This combination really works well, much better than I expected, as it doesn't hunt a lot to keep on course you set. People I have taken out on my boat have commented what a joy it is to fish with and have been impressed with the overall ease of operation and lack of clutter on the deck. If you are looking to troll for your fish look no further than a Powerdrive V2 with an autopilot and also add on a copilot- you will be happy.

Softie 3 Merlin, Olive Review

Softie 3 Merlin, Olive
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Merlin 3 5 years ago and use it for the cool seasons, 40 degrees to 80 degrees. The synthetic material make it too warm for summer and the lightweight make it too light for winter. However, this is the most compact, reasonably priced lightweight mummy bag I have found. It dries well, packs quickly and is highly durable. The stuff sack it came well is also a water proof compression bag.

Several minor complaints: (1) the zipper will stick if you are not conscientious; (2) the bag is rated to 32 degrees Fahrenheit but is not comfortable without being supplemented below 40 degrees; and, (3) while not narrow, the bag is not designed for broad shouldered people.

These aside, I highly recommend the Merlin 3 for temperate hikes and frequent enjoyment as I have on countless long and short forays into the great wild.
