ALPS OutdoorZ Redwood -10°C Rated Sleeping Bag for Camping and Outdoor Adventures

William Braun: This replaces a mummy style bag that was not as warm as I wanted, and uncomfortable (I wanted more room to move around). This bag is very warm, plenty of room to rearrange legs. Has straps sewn on the outside handy for rolling it up for storage. Highly recommend.

SeekingTraveler: There are two versions of the ALPS OutdoorZ Redwood Sleeping Bag (we bought both versions):
- The -25° version (13 pounds, 38" by 80")
- The -10° version (11 pounds 8 ounces, 38" by 80")

In short, I highly recommend these ALPS sleeping bags for situations where you only need to carry them a few hundred meters or less.

These sleeping bags are not suitable for backpacking.
- They weigh too much and are much too bulky. These bags are about 4 times heavier than our backpacking sleeping bags.
- These bags would be great for: Car camping (i.e., parked near the campsite); cabin or lodge camping; sleeping in a van, camper, travel trailer, or sleeper section.

Great for emergency preparedness:
After seeing the news about the 2021 Texas winter storm and resulting power outages and deaths, we bought two of these sleeping bags to supplement our backpacking sleeping bags.

The bags are very good quality. I quite like the (comfy) heavy flannel lining and the heavy canvas backing.

Temperature ratings:
- I did not find any info on how the temperature ratings for these bags were established. One is "rated" for -10° and the other for -25°, but...

Karen Skieens: I bought this ALPS sleeping bag for my overnight dog sitting sleepovers at other pet parents' homes.
I LOVE it! You know how hard it is to find quality flannel sheets? Look no further than the flannel lining in this sleeping bag. SOFT. COMFORTABLE. LUXURIOUS. I sleep like a baby. Just roomy enough. Just warm enough. And heavily padded the way I like. I just throw it on top of the bed. And you know how hard it is to roll up a sleeping bag and stuff it back in the bag? No bag needed with this sleeping bag. It comes with three straps that make bag cinching a breeze and carrying even easier. I take about 20 seconds, roll it up, and throw it in my car to transport. The reason I opted to buy a sleeping bag like this is so I could have consistent nights of sleep instead of sleeping on other people's beds that are not made up the way I like. I now look forward to getting cozy in my ALPS sleeping bag on overnight pet sitting trips.

KMc: Wouldn't want to carry it anywhere, but once in the tent it was like sleeping in a big comfy bed.
Sturdy and bulky, great for motorised camping-not hiking.

Amazon Customer: I’m 6’4” and if I wanted I could fit my head under the blanket if I wanted. If you are taller it has a second zipper to allow your feet to go out. It is very big when you roll it up but it doesn’t keep you too warm when it’s not -10 and it kept we warm when it needed. Very comfy and durable exterior make me believe I will have this for years. Lots of room length and width wise once you are in

Kindle CustomerKindle Customer: Written by treasured and favorite (and only) wife of Matt:
To be up front, we haven't used it camping yet, but I will update once I do. But, on initial impression and trying it out for 45 minutes at home, I'm impressed!!!
First - LOVE the material!!! We don't like about 90% of bags out there due to the "plasticy" (and loud) materials. This bag is all cloth - as you can see in the picture. I mean, maybe you can't see the cloth texture, but you can see that there is no sheen. The outside feels tough and a little like a smooth burlap - but not uncomfortable for the arms to rest on. The inside is flannel like - can't remember if it's flannel or cotton - but either way, it's soft and cozy and not loud.
Second - They can zip together. And they both have 2 zippers - so if it gets too warm (don't know yet if we will sometimes be to warm because, again, we haven't actually camped yet), you can choose to just unzip part of your side OR just the bottom of your side, or both, to ventilator. There is a small hole in the middle between where the two bags attach - but ALL bags that we've used have had that hole. With other bags, if it was too cold, we'd just stuff a blanket down at the...
