Texsport High Plains Sleeping Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bag is very warm and is rated down to 30 degrees F.If zipped, it can be used as a sleeping bag.Unzipped, you can use it as a very warm blanket.I would recommend using it as a bag below 45-50F.From 45-50F to 60-65F probably best to use it unzipped as a warm blanket.If you use it as a bag with ambient temperatures too high, you will surely sweat.I bought it mainly because the shell is cotton.The material is very nice and soft to the touch.

After using it over a two week period, I would like to share my thoughts on improvement.First, the zipper is way too flimsy for this type of application.When you are trying to keep from becoming cold in outside weather the last thing you want to be doing is struggling with a small and hard to use zipper in the dark.I say charge me 2 dollars more and give me a real zipper that is large and that zips and unzips easily under any circumstances.(I would suggest that you don't underestimate the importance of a proper zipper in any sleeping bag application.)

The other observation I would like to make relates to the size of the bag.I'm a fairly small person (male 5'9" 145 lbs.) and yet I found this width sleeping bag used in the "bag" mode a little difficult to use (too hard to turn and maneuver yourself inside the bag).If you feel the same, I would recommend a wider bag.However when used as a blanket, this bag is plenty big enough.

In conclusion, this bag is really nice for the money except for the weak zipper.In shopping for a sleeping bag, I would pay special attention to the size, temperature rating, zipper quality, material composition, and ambient temperature you will be using it in to choose the proper bag for your application.
