 Slumberjack Latitude 0F Short Right Sleeping Bag By: Slumberjack Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 4 More Information misleading  On: 2008-02-08it wasnt very clear that this is a "short" length sleeping bag. My 11 year old son barely fits in it. I am disappointed by this and am not sure how much more I will continue shopping online. great bag for kids or SHORT adults  On: 2007-10-25purchased this bag for my son who recently expressed interest in going on backpacking trips with me. Havent taken it on any trips yet, though being the kid he is, we just HAD to set up the tent in the back yard a few nights (one of which got as low as 45) and not a single complaint from him. Though this is "rated" as a 0-deg, I question that at least a little... my marmot 0-deg and my North Face 20-deg appear to be more generously rated by comparison. That said, it doesnt really matter as I doubt Id be taking the little one on any winter trips anyway... and by the time hes old enough for his first snowbird, hell probably have outgrown this one anyway. Though with a liner or a cover/bivy, this could easily be a "true" 0-deg. Ive had slumberjack bags before and theyve never let me down yet... theyre a very good entry-level to intermediate bag who makes a great product for the price... this bag is no different. seams, draft tube, storm collar, zippers and draw strings all adjust/operate as they should. The stuff sack seems durable, though I would have liked to see a compression-type stuff sack rather than the regular bag (though thats my complaint with most bags, so I guess most are in the same boat there) I believe this is rated for a person up to 55" or 56"... that may be doable, but definitely pushing the limit. I had my wife (52") try it out, and it seemed to be approaching the "snug" category once she stretched out. I would consider a regular length bag if youre over 54" just to be safe. Definitely a great kids bag thats a HUGE step up from the "play" type cartoon character bags... this is a REAL bag that just happens to be sized right for kids. now hit the trail. Cold weather bag for youth, hobits and smaller adults by: books_from_curt On: 2007-06-01 This bag is a very affordable solution for cold weather camping for youth, Scouts, anyone in the 54" to 66" height range. The short bag is easier to warm up and still probably have room to stuff tomorrows clothes in the bottom for a warm start on the day. My son has used this bag comfortably down to about 15 degrees on a Thermorest pad with thermals/socks/cap. Probably not a zero degree bag, but very good for the money at 15 degrees. Add a fleece liner if you need colder coverage. Great, comfortable, warm bag! On: 2006-11-12I used this bag on a recent trip to Southern Missouri on a kayak & canoe trip. We were cold & wet coming off the river after an 11 mile trek - this bag warmed me up instantly once back at camp. The design is great - and it is very comfortable to slide into. While the temps that weekend did not approach 0 degrees - the indication of how warm the bag is came with how much I was sweating in it when I woke up in the middle of the night!! Great bag for the price!! Lightweight also!! I would buy again!! |
