The hood also includes a full-collar with shock-cord pulls to cinch it snugly around the head and neck preventing the loss of precious heat.

We woke in our tent to low to mid 30s for four nights and we felt absolutely frozen every night, particularly our feet. Our torsos were warm enough by wearing ALL our clothes and pulling the hood all the way down over our faces allowing no cold air, but our feet were in danger of damage, even with two pairs of wool socks.
The fill is adequate for the average user who is never going to take the bag to the bottom of its temp-rating…but while using the bag in sub-freezing temps I found the insulation in the torso of the bag noticeably colder than other areas. The Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 comes in a nice compression sack…which is basically useless and subjects your sleeping-bag to undue compression…which can hinder the performance ozark trail canopy of the down to trap warm air around you (I usually turn these into ditty-bags). Fully compressed…the Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 measures 11 inches in length and 5.5 inches in diameter inside the compression sack. Bucking the industry norm for exaggerating how light their bag is…Ozark Trail list their bag at an astounding 104 grams over what my digital scales report…and that’s with the compression sack.
Stay cozy even on the coldest nights of your camping or hiking trips with the Everest Mummy Sleeping Bag, +5F/-15C Degree. “Whether camping or at a sleepover, kids will love sleeping in this rocket shaped sleeping bag.” For the last six months or so, this hiker has been busy accumulating a rather hefty pile of goods, restocking and retooling in preparation for the next round of day hiking and backpacking adventures. Here’s a look at some of the small stuff that I’ve carefully selected and trail tested, and as such, can confidently recommend to you for your gear closet.
Just to be clear this is not the best sleeping-bag available…it is not a Feathered Friends or Western Mountaineering bag by any stretch of the imagination. While completely honest and upfront…my review of this bag is unapologetically colored by my ozark trail sleeping bag enthusiasm for the niche I believe this bag fills…and to that end…I believe it fills that niche better than any other bag available. I would not recommend this product to anyone unless I wanted them to freeze and get a terrible night’s sleep.
I nearly froze to death on the trail, and craftsmanship is garbage (to put it mildly). 2) expensive state of the art synthetic or down sleeping-bag or quilt. Please note, a stock image is included to provide you with a visual snapshot of this item that we could not capture otherwise. What bothers me the most, (and the main reason I gave it 2 stars) is that the fabric is hidden and not obvious until you get it out of the package and unzip it all of the way.
