This sleeping bag is really great. It is far warmer than my other nylon bags, and comparable to a 6 inch thick down comforter. And I mean that in a good way. The cotton duck outer (like soft canvas) and comfy flannel inner is just awesome - and QUIET. I just love the quietness. All my older bags have been nylon which make a lot of rustling noises which bother me everytime I move (and anyone else trying to sleep nearby).

This SlumberJack Big Timber long sleeping bag is so cushy soft you almost don't need an air mattress. But you'll sleep better if you do have one. I can highly recommend the ThermaRest Base Camp air mattress. It's really great, and last for dozens of years! Therm-a-Rest Base Camp (Large) The one thing to be aware of is that no air mattress does well if you leave it all blown up in a hot trailer. It will pOp! or at least get a slow leak. If I hadn't done that, I'd still be using the same ThermaRest I got in the 1980's and slept on sharp rocks & broken glass without a puncture nor leak. Tough! So deflate it some before you leave it for the day (or season) and you'll never have a problem.

This sleeping bag has a BIG square foot end, so there is tons of unrestricted room for feet. Totally opposite of mummy bags. Zipper is good quality metal. I sometimes feel a slight draft near the zipper, but this bag is so warm that is ok - just slightly refreshing. This bag is wider than most, which is ok - I have plenty of room. But it might be a squeeze in a small tent. This is NOT a backpacking bag. It's too bulky & heavy to lug around all day. But it's perfect for car camping! It's possible to use this bag in the summer, but you will be opening it just to cool off about half the time. Get yourself another sleeping bag for summer.

This is the most comfortable winter sleeping bag I have ever had, and I'm happy to recommend it now.

EDIT: I actually have the 0 degree bag. I still love it.

This bag is big and roomy for comfortable sleeping. The outer shell is pretty heavy duty and should hold up for a long time. The zipper is metal and functions very smoothly, and there is a velcro tab at the top of the bag to hold the zipper in place once you're in the bag for the night. It is very warm, and the cotton flannel is much more comfortable than the nylon of most mummy bags. I'm taking it with me on a remote deer hunt in northern Maine in November and don't expect any problems with staying warm.

I used my bag for a boyscout camping trip a few weeks ago, and it was everything the other reviews said it was.
Big, roomy, and comfy warm.
Nighttime temps were BELOW -10 (F), and I wasnt even a little bit cold.
Someone who came to the site on the second morning, said their car thermometer read -16. The little thermometer on my coat's zipper read between -10 and -20, kinda hard to tell, but suffice to say, it was darn cold.
I'm 6'2", and 200lbs +, but I was still able to "hunker down" completely in the bag to sleep quite comfortably, considering. I loved the room it affords you to move around a bit. (unlike those nylon mummy bags that resemble preps for a casket-fitting. No thanks)
I did have a therma rest foam and air mattress under the bag, and I'd recommend anyone else stupid enough to sleep out in those kind of temps, to do the same.

This is a warm sleeping bag, and there is no sweating because of the fill, it can be a double bag and has a strong heavy outer shell, and is big enough to turn easily,

Purchased the -30F Slumberjack Big Timber sleeping bag. This is a 5 star bag - period. Excellent product. Recommended.

This product is well worth it. I go camping a lot. There's plenty of room which I love. I'm 6'2" 265lbs so if your big get this bag...I slept great and was nice and warm. Bigger than I expected.

Great sleeping bag! Keeps you toasty warm sleeping out on winter camp nights.
