VENTURE 4TH Backpacking Sleeping Bag XXL Double and Single Sizes - Lightweight Warm Cold Weather Sleeping Bags for

I had a back surgery a while back that left me worse off than before. Now I need to sleep on the floor as the mattress my wife will not give up is too soft for me. So my bed until my back recovers is a 1" self inflatable mat with a sleeping bag on top. My previous sleeping bag was not long enough or wide enough. The inside of it was a flannel like material which was extremely hot for sleeping in the house. That is why I purchased the Venture 4th XXL sleeping bag. Here are my thoughts. The Good: This bag is more than long enough for me. I am 6' but it could easily accommodate a taller person. The bag is wide. I can literally spread my legs fully (think jumping jacks or snow angel). This was a welcome surprise. The inner material is like a hotel comforter or a satin like finish, cool to the touch, but able to warm. We keep our thermostat at 69 degrees at night and being zipped up in the bag I was comfortably warm and was never hot. I also sleep with a half moon bolster type pillow between my knees or under my knees and the bag accommodated this with no sacrifices. Incredible! Also when folded and placed in its case it is very compact and extremely light. The bad: The hood feature is quirky. It has a draw string through the hood and into the bag body crumpling the body of the bag and the hood together limiting the nice width around my shoulders. I find this very uncomfortable and nearly unworkable. I would prefer the draw string just be in the hood like a hoodie on a sweat shirt. Also I saw a video when purchasing this bag about the clean zipper. The zipper teeth are relatively small and do get caught on the inner lining like every sleeping bag in the world. I had a devil of a time zipping this thing up from inside the bag. It would get caught every 5 or 6 inches or so. The Ugly: Nothing this bag meets all my needs. I don't need the hood and the zipper is par for the course. Summary: I cannot speak to durability. But for what you get for the money it is well worth it and fits my application to a tee. My review would have been 5 stars except for the hood and zipper. A quick update on 8/6/2024. I have been sleeping in this bag now for 21 straight days. I changed my 4 star rating to 5 stars. Regarding the zipper if you zip from outside the bag I have nearly no issues and certainly less than my previous sleeping bag. It is more an issue of angle when zipping. I now agree with previous statements about a clean zipper. Regarding the hood, my wife had the air extra low, and I am bald, so I used the hood I thought I had no use for. It kept my head warm and was not difficult to use. Finally, I did not realize that this bag had a lifetime warranty. I was contacted by the owner of the company email telling me of the warranty and thanks for buying the bag. Where on God's green earth do you get owners telling people they got a lifetime warranty? It may have been a one off but Venture4th has my business for life. Read more

Zipper quality is really good it's really soft and comfortable and keeps you warm it actually condenses down pretty small once it's in the bag and you tighten all the straps it's easy to roll up and get back into the carry bag and it fits really well in my hunting back I think this was a great value for what I paid Read more

Recently was looking for a sleeping bag for above 30 degrees and decided to try this one. First trip our it was unseasonably cold and night lows were in the 30's. Didn't really expect the sleeping bag to be comfortable at 34 degrees and was surprised after 2 nights in the 30's and was pretty warm all night. They are comfortable and seem so far to be durable material. I tllike that is has a head draw string and is a straight bag. Was able to pull it over my head, stay warm and not feel like I was being suffocated. The compression sack it comes in leaves alot to be desired and I will be replacing. The sleeping bag over all I would recommend and buy again. I would say is as good as some of the bags I own that I have paid over $100 for. Read more

I purchased this for sudden Coast Deployment. As everyone that sleep CG or Naval ship they keep the temperature cold to assist those with motion sickness. I usually buy sleeping bags and finished my deployments I disposed of them. This one was large enough to be comfortable and move inside freely. It was so goo that I kept it and used again on three deployments. After the deployments I kept and put inside one of my tear drop camper with not heat. One night it was cold and windy at Chinos Mountains (Big Bend). Temperature drop to about 16F. Once again this sleeping bag did not fail me. I got inside and it was like a little furnace. Spacious enough that I could tend to a self inflicted stab wound without having to open the bag. Comparing to their sleeping bags that I still have. This is my favorite, durable. Not supper thick, but well insulated. Easy to use and compresed it’s not water proof. And lightweight Read more

I used this bag for the first time on Labor Day weekend camping. It was very chilly at night and the bag kept me warm and was very comfortable l. Its not really thick, but did keep me warm . The zipper seemed to work well and it is light weight. I had no problem packing it back into the carry bag that it came in. I slept in it a total of r nights and I definitely recommend this sleeping bag over others Read more

This sleeping bag fits well for tall size. And its comfy Read more

We used this for 2 people during a camping trip with overnight lows in the 20s and I was very comfortable!! Can also be unzipped and used as a heavy blanket if needed. Read more

This was purchased because of a cold weather possibility on our camping trip. Warm days and colder 40 degree nights were possible. It was actually warmer most nights, but we did need it one of the nights. The dang thing would unzip itself! Over and over the zipper slid down and my butt would get cold 🥶 The other zipper issue was in zipping it up. It only zips IF you flip the inside zipper tab up, and lay your finger on it while zipping. Any other way and it gets hung up. When it was zipped up, it was warm while we were spooning. The two little pillows came in handy, as does the stuff sack it arrived in. The bag is about full sized, and definitely accommodates a couple, but if you or they move, it's cold air rushing in, as there isn't a bunch of space for covers in between you. I would not recommend this to a couple, there is not quite enough room, unless you spoon the entire night. It would be amazing if you were a larger person, laying in the middle, or a single person who flips and flops alot, as long as you don't mind your butt hanging out! 😉 Read more
