Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 Sleeping Bag

From the perspective of the average person…the Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 is a great bag…that is both well-designed and well-made for about the price of your average discount bag. The compromise is not in insulation value…but primarily weight and compression. The hood of the Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 uses some of the very best design features found in sleeping-bags made by such notables as Western Mountaineering. For example…the hood uses what is called a reverse differential construction which is a fancy way of saying that it uses over-sized cuts of fabric on the inside of the hood to allow the down to fill in around the head without the need to over-cinch the hood.

The Ozark Trail Cocoon 200 comes with a large zipper that is available in both a left and right option. The large zippers are a bit of overkill in my opinion…but for folks who like to pull their way out of a difficult situation when it comes to zippers…the overly-robust zipper should prevent some unpleasant mishaps resulting from unwarranted zipper pulling. As unimaginable as it is…the following is a highly favorable review ozark trail chair of a wonderful piece of kit manufactured by a company that has a less than perfect reputation. I think the expensive bags are just marketing and overengineering, unless you are going to the arctic. You can buy an expensive bag if you think it will make you more hardcore, but I will gladly tell everyone how hardcore you are if you pay me to do so. I was on a budget so I figured I would go with a less expensive bag.

The Ozark Trail 40-60F Sleeping Bag is a sensible choice for camping, backpacking, and other outdoor activities. This washable sleeping bag has been designed for use in temperatures between 40 degrees and 60 degrees Fahrenheit, to keep you warm on cold nights. The Ozark Trail 40-60F Sleeping Bag is highly durable, as it is lined with 100% polyester fabric both on the inside and outside. This polyester sleeping bag features two sleeping bags that can be zipped together.

If they wanted to skimp on fabric, it should have been used on the outside and bottom of the bag! On the Pacific Crest Trail, I learned the importance of a GPS satellite communicator, and it’s been a trail companion ever since. I’ve upgraded my Garmin InReach Mini to the Mini 2 to take advantage of the longer battery life and improved satellite acquisition time. And it pairs nicely with the Garmin Explore and Messenger phone apps for expanded functionality. First-aid kit contents get used or go missing over time, so I like to replace mine every so often. Armed with the knowledge and skills from umpteen Wilderness First-Aid courses over many years, I tend to carry a lot less, so the Medical Kit 0.5 from Adventure Medical Kits (3.6 ounces, $23) fills the bill, with a few extras tucked in.

It protects your head and shoulders from the elements and boasts a roomy, tapered shape that provides extra warmth and comfort while sleeping outdoors. If the night gets cold, a drawcord conveniently lets you adjust the contoured hood around your neck, while a full-length side zipper makes ozark trail chair it easy to get in and out of your camping sleeping bag. An added interior stash pocket offers a safe place to keep your valuables nearby. For the best nights sleep while camping, pack the Ozark Trail 10F Mummy Sleeping Bag and you’ll be ready to hit the trail right when the sun rises.

Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top warm weather synthetic sleeping bags. Keep children comfortable during nights in the tent inside the Ozark Trail Kids 2-lb Sleeping Bag. It is made from a breathable polyester material that keeps little one’s snug while they sleep.

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 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.

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 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.
