Coleman Basin Tall Adult Sleeping Reviews Summary

Size and Comfort

Pros:

• "Good construction, warm, plenty of room, compact enough when traveling in a car."
• "It gives him more than enough room inside."
• "This bag has plenty of room without skimping on quality."
• "I’m 6’ 270 lbs and Claustrophobic. In the Army had to use mummy bags as blankets. This bag far surpassed my expectations."
• "I love how much space I get in this! No more knees pinned together in a mummy bag."
• "It fits my 6' tall, 290lb muscular husband very well."
• "I’m an average build guy, nearly 6’ tall and this bag is perfect. Enough room to stretch my legs in when I’m sleeping, and VERY warm!"

Cons:

• "Although this is very light - THIS IS NOT A BACKPACKING BAG."
• "Make no mistake, this is no backpacking bag due to it's size and weight. I'm a big guy (6 ft, 450 lbs) and this bag fits fine without feeling constrictive."
• "It's also not a light bag, so I wouldn't recommend backpacking with this on extended trips."
• "Way bigger than I thought. [...] It is as large as my pack."
• "I would not even consider this bag for hiking or backpacking. It’s just too bulky and heavy. However, for my purposes, this bag has performed magnificently."
• "It is so big! I literally have so much room!"
• "It's Huge - It won't fit in my 65L backpack."

Warmth and Quality

Pros:

• "Good quality, good zippers, plenty of warmth... and foot room especially."
• "It has a luxurious quality about it."
• "Husband and I rented a mini cabin that we thought was heated but was not. It was 28 degrees out when we realized I grabbed this bag and one of our little kid sleeping bags. We were toasty warm underneath."
• "Went tent camping in Tahoe last month in 30 degrees weather at night and this sleeping bag kept my husband and son warm."
• "Aside from a reflective 'space' blanket beneath me, this bag kept me toasty to 13 degrees F."
• "The reason I love it so much is that I can curl my legs up, have a pillow for my knees, add a blanket, and still not get tangled up or feel claustrophobic."
• "Heavy duty zipper pulls and a separate zippered vent for your feet on warmer nights are also welcome bonuses."

Cons:

• "I am not necessarily convinced this is a zero degree bag."
• "As a 15 degree rated bag, this one falls waaaaay short."
• "I used this bag once now and was very cold sleeping in it but I don't blame the bag."
• "Piece of junk. Zipper broke after 2nd use, of course right after my return window."
• "The only thing I figured why I was cold was because I'm not a big guy, thus my body couldn't heat the bag enough not to freeze my feet."
• "They advertise 'For temperatures 0⁰ F to 20⁰ F' but I doubt you'd be comfortable that cold."
• "After half an hour at 23 degrees I was very cold, to the point of constant shivers."

Packability and Portability

Pros:

• "Packed back into the bag snug."
• "It works great if you throw it in the car."
• "It comes with a nice easy to use carrying case so it's easy to transport."
• "I carry it in a 49L waterproof bag on the back of my motorcycle."
• "Easy to stuff back in the bag and not worry about folding or rolling it up."
• "Also the zipper never got stuck and I was easily able to fold and fit back into the included carry bag."
• "I forced the bag into a smaller stuff sack and am now able to carry it on my motorcycle when the need arises."

• "It is extremely hard to get it back into its bag."
• "The only issue is that the sleeping bag will NOT fit back into the bag provided."

• "Pretty hard to wrestle into the stuff sack, though."
• "When you pack it up, don't kid yourself and think you're going to fold it in half and roll it up tight to get it back in the bag...ain't gonna happen my friend."
