ALPS OutdoorZ Sleeping-Bags Redwood -25

very well made with materials that will last a lifetime it’s big and comfortable to sleep in and if you don’t zip it up you can sleep in it in sixty degree temperatures with out getting too hot but once you zip it up get ready you will stay warm it’s very insulated it’s probably not for summer but you can use it like a blanket to sleep on top of if you unzip it all the way it’s a big heavy bag so it’s not really what you would want for backpacking but it’s the nicest sleeping bag i’ve ever had for sure when the power goes out in the winter i know ill stay warm at night for sure.

I bought this for camping in Colorado, and it does the job well. It's heavy duty, well built and a bit heavy, I think I'll be using this for years to come. 💪 It was very warm, cozy, soft and I had some of the best sleep, camping, in a long time. 🥰 It's nice and big and I feel the weight was just right. It has a nice chunky zipper that probably will outlast time, and has the perfect sound, and it vents at the foot of the bag if you want. I paired my sleeping kit with a thermarest mattress which was heavenly. Highly recommend the bag, 10/10. 🤌

Once or twice a year, I find myself needing a very warm sleeping bag for cold-weather camping. I previously had a 20-degree rated bag that would do fine for most temperatures above zero, but last winter I had to camp in some -10 degree weather, and it was simply unbearable. That miserable experience forced my hand to buy two (one for my wife, one for me) of these bags. I have finally used the bag and feel I can write an accurate review. I'll go over some pros and cons, and then give my overall opinion. If you want the one-sentence version, scroll to the bottom. Pros - HUGE. I am not a big guy, but I still enjoy my space when I'm sleeping. This bag allows me to roll over and stretch out as necessary without the restrictions of a mummy bag or smaller rectangle bag. My dad is a large guy (6'3", 230 lbs), and on our recent hunting trip, he used my spare bag and commented on how big and comfortable the bag is. - Warm. It did not get down to -10 degrees this year, but it did get down to about 20 degrees, and I had to have the bag zipped open to allow some cool air in. I have no doubt this bag would be comfortable in sub-zero (fahrenheit) temperatures, likely approaching its -25-degree rating. - Durable. Having only owned this product for one season, I have to project its durability, but the canvas exterior, heavy duty zipper, and thick interior lining have me believing this bag will last me many years to come. The only parts I question somewhat are the straps for rolling the bag. I would guess that they might be prone to breaking after a few years if you get too forceful when trying to roll up the bag. Mine are fine, and showed no signs of flexing or breakage upon my first few uses, but the plastic buckles and stitching on the straps seems much less "heavy duty" than the rest of the bag. - Cost-effective. Most bags I was looking at that promise this sort of warmth were at least twice as expensive. Cons - HUGE. I know I listed this as a pro, but it can also be a con. If you need to hike with your bag, DO NOT get this. It weighs 13 pounds. If you have limited storage space for your camping equipment, you might want to reconsider. This bag takes up roughly twice the space of a "normal" sleeping bag. The compression straps allow it to be rolled in two configurations. The full width configuration will be approximately the same size as two standard-sized bags placed side by side. The half width configuration will have about twice the diameter of a typical sleeping bag when rolled. - Warm. Another pro that can be a con. If you intend to regularly use this bag in 40-degree temps, I would strongly suggest getting a different bag that is not quite so warm. If it's above freezing, you will likely need to unzip. - Cool spots. The cool spots are not bad for a bag of this size. I say "cool" and not "cold," for a reason. However, if you do happen to roll over to get comfortable, you will notice that your new position is slightly cooler. In my opinion, the temperature change is no more noticeable in this bag than when I roll over in my bed in my climate-controlled home. OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: If you want a very large (too big too hike with), very warm (too warm for above-freezing), comfortable bag to use in extremely cold situations, I think this is the best bag out there for the money.

MyOutdoors.net reviewed the ALPS Outdorz Redwood sleeping bag and rated it five stars, I couldn't agree more. This canvas, flannel lined sleeping bag is rated to negative twenty-five degrees! It is so warm, I often have to open it to cool off (not being in -25 degree temps). This bag is superb quality which explains the price. The zipper is plastic but it is thick (see photo) It's a little heavier than other sleeping bags at thirteen pounds but that is due to the insulation that keeps you warm! The dimensions when rolled up are 21.3 x 16.9 x 16.7 inches. If you camp up North or love ice fishing or you're going on an expedition to the North Pole; this is the sleeping bag for you!

UPDATE 1/8/2018- This sleeping bag is the VERY BEST of the many (8-10) bags I own, although my RA has continued to progress, I still love the N.E.Wyoming Black Hills for winter camping, after 5 1/2 years this is not only my camping bag, it is used as my comforter on my bed here at the ranch, Big Thanks ALPS for a Very High Quality Sleeping bag- Happy Back Woods I will state that after investigating "ALPS" outdoor equipment , that EVERY website had mostly positive reviews, their customer service is top notch, when I had a concern about this "ALPS OutdoorZ Redwood Minus 25 Degree " sleeping bag (whether it would fit with extra room in their "Jagged Peak" 4 season tent) I received a answer within a few days (they discontinued the "Jagged Peak" for reasons unknown- it is a great winter tent) back to ALPS OutdoorZ Redwood Minus 25 Degree sleeping bag- I would highly recommend this very comfortable and warm bag for all winter camping , I live on the family Ranch in extreme N.E.Wyoming and suffer from severe RA, the extreme cold allows me freedom from most pain (-10 to -30) and I have always been an avid outdoor woodsman, so when "Old Man Winter" starts showing up here in the backwoods- I load up my K-2500 w/ my camping cargo box (48" x 24" x 20" deep) it holds everything except this bag, and head out to the "back 200 acres" and set up camp, knowing that without a doubt I will get a warm nights sleep, this bag has top quality materials, the zipper is tough nylon (a size #10 I think) The lining is not over soft flannel, but very comfortable and it does cling to wool socks, the outer canvas is "Tough as Nails" and it has 3 very strong tie straps with top quality adjustable clips (male into female type) I first used this in September of 2013 and it was too warm, I left it half opened, that winter when the temps dropped to -20 in February, I set up for a solid week of "Nature at Her Finest" I was very pleased with OutdoorZ (as well as the "Jagged Peak") I'll admit I did cheat with 2 "Coleman Sportcat" propane heaters in the small tent, with the wind blowing (as it does most of the time in Wyoming) at 20 - 30 mph and wind chill near -53 at night, the tent was 10 above 0, but I was WARM, at 55 yrs. young , I look forward to any enjoyment I can get , for this crippled up backwoodsman, it is being with Nature at her extremes, my 78 yr. mom, said to my daughter "I don't worry about your Dad, he knows how to survive in any weather extreme" - That is due to the very well made "ALPS OutdoorZ Redwood Minus 25 Degree Sleeping Bag" - I wanted to wait a few years before posting this review, so I could "run this bag thru the mill" Thanks Very Much To ALPS for such fine equiptment and To Amazon for selling such a High Quality Product at a price that even a crippled up "not so Old" man can afford

Very sturdy! Also keeps your very warm! The quality materials make a big difference. However, it doesn’t fold up that easily, and it doesn’t fold down small. High quality product overall, but I wish the straps made it a little easier to roll up and clip.

We have one of the green -10° bags and two of these tan -25° bags. Have used them all for for about 4+ years. Extremely happy with them overall. They are MUCH larger and heavier than the typical backpacker lightweight nylon bags. You are able to turn over and not feel restricted - and NO nylon "trash bag" type sounds when you do move. The flannel inside doesn't feel freezing when you first get in them. These are similar to the old school heavy canvas outer / soft flannel inner bags my dad had when we camped as kids. I sleep better knowing my kids are warm and comfortable in these bags even on the coldest nights out camping! My kids also seem to STAY IN these bags all night vs the nylon ones which they tend to shimmy out of throughout the night. We use them when winter camping out overloading in our roof top tent & ground tents - with night temps typically in the low 20's or 30's F°. Zippers & materials all work well and hold up great. Will buy more if needed. ***TAKE NOTE - these are NOT the bags you want for backpacking or if you have limited space - they are bulky and heavy!

Just got this yesterday, slept in it last night. I bought the -25 sleeping bag because my landlord is a little bit stingy with heat, and man, this thing kept me toasty warm. I actually had no unzip it, I started getting overheated. This thing is HEFTY. If you're looking for a sleeping bag to take on a hike or to go backpacking with, this probably ain't it, but if you want one that that will keep you toasty warm and comfortable, definitely recommend. Outside material seems more durable than I would have guessed from the pictures; feels more akin to burlap than cotton, but still quite nice. I laid down on top of it and it was still comfortable. Inside is very nice flannel, seems like it will last quite a while. Zipper seems pretty solid; large and metal, no catching when I zip or unzip it. Seems worth every penny to me.

Chaud, confortable et de belle conception

Mithral Armor for the cold. Nothing gets through and it feels amazing. In warmer weather I roll it up with the canvas side out and use it for a body pillow. Astoundingly well built piece of gear. Top notch.

Great product! My family does winter deer hunting every year in November. Typically the temperature hovers around -20 degrees C. We use a canvas tent with a wood stove and sometime the stove goes out. This bag is great quality and incredibly warm. And for those times the stove goes out. You will still be warm! Love this bag

Works great!

This appears to be a classic very warm, comfortable sleeping bag in the traditional sense as it is manufactured with cotton canvas outer & cotton flannel liner. Breathable & warm!
