Wenzel Omega II/Great Falls Mummy 0-Degree Sleeping Bag with Hood (Blue, Black Charcoal, Berry)

This is the best sleeping bag I've ever slept in. It's durable and light and and keeps me warm when I go camping even when it's freezing cold. And have you ever, ever been camping with a bad bag on a chilly night? Not good, really not good, but this bag is good, it's great, snuggly and comfy and it'll keep you warm as toast.

I will not be considering the price of this bag in this review just making a few points. The rating on these is strange since I sleep in this bag in house at 60+ temp and it barely keeps me warm without anything. 0 degrees? I wouldn't want to be in this bag at less than 50, outside, but maybe its just me. You'de think by 2008 they would put large zippers on these to make them easier to manage but the zipper is small, and is a constant problem. I guess one has to comment on the price which is cheap, but I would have and undoubtably will have to spend at least double or triple to get the warmth advertised and hopefully a bigger zipper.

I've used this bag twice now and am happy with the purchase. I have slept out side under the stars down to 30 degrees so far and had the following observations. My feet were nice and warm all night. I started sleeping without sweat paints but later in the night felt I needed them to keep warm. I'm 46 so I will get colder at night then someone in their 20's. I very much doubt you would want to sleep in this bag in 0 degree weather, 15 degrees seems more realistic.

The only issue I have seen so far is that the zipper can snag on the lining, this is a stupid over sight from the manufacturer. A simple strip of stiffer fabric would have prevented this issue.

On the plus side you get a lot for the money, to soon to tell about long term build quality. I felt for a mummy bag it offered a good amount of movement space. Over all happy, I think I could have spent 2 to 3 times the price for the same quality.

My son took it out on his first Boy Scout campout last weekend. Temps dropped into the mid-upper 20's. I wasn't on the campout but he said he stayed plenty warm. The stuff sack works great too, no more trying to roll a bag and put a strap around it...just stuff it in and pull the draw-string. So far so good.

We purchased this for our Boy Scout for his Polar Bear merit badge. Recieved it on time in great condition from Amazon. The kids had to hike 1/2 mile away from the group with a buddy, prepare a camp site, build a fire, cook and then sleep in sub 30 degree temperature with no tent. It kept him warm for the whole night,I'm glad I didn't have to do it. It was well worth the expense.
