Tough Outdoors Summer Envelope

This is a long review, but I really wanted to share our experiences. I did a lot of research to find the best sleeping bag for me to use on a 17-day Roadtrip in the pacific northwest, that would be warm enough, waterproof, wide enough for me to sleep comfortably in (I'm a big girl and I sleep with my knees up, )and that would compress into a small bag. I was led to this bag. I ordered it from Amazon, and the zipper did not work well because it appeared that it got crimped up. I contacted the company, and they were very responsive and concerned to make things right. I was able to return it and get another one right away. The company contacted me again to make sure that I was satisfied. We had ordered another brand of bag for my teenage daughter but she liked mine better, both for the size and comfort. We returned hers and bought 2 more of these for her and my husband. We camped for several days on our trip, and never stayed at the same campground for more than one night. The sleeping bags were perfect! Pros: Size! Wide and long Compresses easily to a reasonable size with a bag Soft in the inside, but easy to keep clean Waterproof! It was so nice to wake up in the morning in a dry bag (other things were damp in the mornings) Hood at the top to keep pillows where they need to be (and you can pull out tight around your head, if needed.) Light, but warm enough for 3 seasons Has flap to cover the top of the zipper so that it doesn't come unzipped while sleeping (and you can fold over the flap so that the velcro doesn't scratch you when you aren't using the flap.) Cons : Due to the hood, the bag only opens on the right side (from a laying down point of view.) I asked my daughter what her cons were, and she said it was difficult to put in the bag. Neither my husband nor I struggled with it, but I thought I should mention it. My husband felt that it was a bit too light to keep him warm (he gets very cold) so we just took an extra blanket for him. Overall, we were extremely pleased with these bags and the respect and concern of the company. We were so glad to have them and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a sleeping bag with these qualities.
