Just to be clear this is not the best sleeping-bag available…it is not a Feathered Friends or Western Mountaineering bag by any stretch of the imagination. While completely honest and upfront…my review of this bag is unapologetically colored by my enthusiasm for the niche I believe this bag fills…and to that end…I believe it fills that niche better than any other bag available. I would not recommend this product to anyone unless I wanted them to freeze and get a terrible night’s sleep.

I bought the zero degree bag and nearly froze to death. Day one, night one…the zipper tore and cord in hood broke. Day 2 …it was closer to 6 degree and I froze…I had to hike into town, replace the bag.

The bags were adequate last year when temps dropped to mid to high 40’s. The criticisms I have of the hood are not that substantial…but I did find the hood somewhat over-filled…and I believe that the additional down could have been better served placed in the torso area where I found the distribution of down wanting.

We woke in our tent to low to mid 30s for four nights and we felt absolutely frozen every night, particularly our feet. Our torsos were warm enough by wearing ALL our clothes and pulling the hood all the way down over our faces allowing no cold air, but our feet were in danger of damage, even with two pairs of wool socks.
I could have gotten better quality from a teenager’s home ec project and lighter weight. The big things – pack, tent, sleeping bag and such – yes, they’re huge, but a few key small items also border on essential. The foot-box of the Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 is all quality…roomy and delightfully filled…you will not want for cold feet in this thing…though you should certainly wear socks inside your bag! The only difference between the foot box on the Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 and a top-quality bag is that some of your more quality bags will sometimes use a heavier fabric on the foot-box to prevent holes from abrasion and puncture…but this only adds undue weight in most cases…and not something I prefer. I notice this isn’t the first review with this complaint.
