Side by Side Comparison of: Teton Sports vs Coleman

I took this sleeping bag to the Grand Canyon in early may when temperatures at the rim at Mather Campground were still getting down to the low teens 12 and 14 degrees fahrenheit and I wasn't ever cold. A few details for your consideration: I'm 6'2" and weigh just over 300, I'm big around the middle and the shoulders and have never had a good night's sleep in a sleeping bag until I got this sleeping bag.My best tip for anyone considering taking this bag into seriously cold weather is to remember that every sleeping bag assumes you're wearing the appropriate attire for the climate you're in. So I wore thermals in this bag and I found myself getting a bit over heated at some points in the night. But by early morning when the temperatures really bottomed out and the wind kicked up something fierce I was grateful for this bags cinch cords to tighten the head space around my noggin to keep me warm.I would absolutely recommend this bag to any large people out there looking for something comfortable and capable of keeping you warm. This bag is serious though about heat preservation. As a big guy that generates my own heat I sometimes found myself too hot when the temperature outside was over 20 degrees F, but under 20 it was everything I could have asked for and more.Thanks TETON!

I was very happy with this purchase overall. First off I've never been a big fan of mummy bags being a guy that tosses and turns a lot, but most cold weather bags go that route. I camp regularly with my son's Boy Scout troop and this bag hit the spot. Haven't got to try it out in sub 20's yet, but I was very comfortable out of the gate on a trip that hit the mid 30's unexpectedly. The zipper is done well and the inner lining was comfortable. This is also the first bag I felt comfortable closing around my head without feeling a little claustrophobic. Also, this bag actually fits back in the stuff sack easily. It isn't lose or anything, but it just fits. Too many other sleeping bags come with stuff sacks that assume you have a vacuum sealer available at your camp site - Brian (Ranessa's Husband)Pros:-Plenty of leg room-Great for those that turn over in the middle of the night-Well made-Comfortable-Steal of a price-Stuff sack that actually looks like it did out of the box when you put it away.Cons:-Haven't found one yet

I am a short but very large man. My first time using this was on an 8 degree night, outside in Northern Wisconsin in the middle of February. The sleeping bag itself was very warm. I threw a body warmer down by my feet because they always get cold. The dual draw strings allow for sealing up against the cold. I use a portable CPAP when camping and had to keep the machine in the bag with me because it wouldn't operate in the cold otherwise. Plenty of room in this sleeping bag. At 7 pounds I doubt I'll ever take it backpacking, but it will be my go to cold weather car camping bag from now on!

I bought this sleeping bag for my first ever fall camping trip with my friends. I've always been a summer camper, but never fall. To give some background/perspective, we went camping at Tobyhanna State Park out in PA, during the time with Hurricane Matthews was coming through. I am 5'1" and the sleeping bag was a perfect fit and lots of wiggle room left for me. My brother who is 5'9" decided to shove himself inside the bag with me. We both fit however, not recommended for sleeping.. Unless you like to sleep very still, shoulder to shoulder.The temperatures dropped to 40-36F and I was kept nice and toasty. I am a fairly cold person and this bag was pretty great. I was also wearing fleece pajamas and a thermo long sleeve shirt. When the night got chilly, you are able to tuck under the sleeping bag to keep your head warm and still breathe fine. The small cellphone pouched located near the zipper was a great addition. I would recommend this sleeping bag.The only con I have is that its pretty bulky and heavy, but if you're not backpacking then it's pretty good.

This sleeping bag is awesome! It does take up quite a bit of space and is a little on the heavy side for hiking long distance, even when fully compressed in the stuff sack, so make sure your pack is big. My girlfriend and I used it together when we hiked into the Snowmass Wilderness in Colorado. It was a bit snug for us both (I am 6'2 and 185 lbs, she is 5'8 and 145 lbs.), but as long as you are fine with spooning and don't need to sprawl out, it may work for two people. If you are a heavier person, it will be plenty big for you! If I used it by myself I could sprawl out to my hearts desire. Oh, and it is WARM!

So I was mulling over this bag made by Teton (90"x39") and their smaller version TETON Sports Celsius Regular -18 Degree C / 0 Degree F Flannel Lined Sleeping Bag (80"x 33"). I ordered the smaller version and just by looking at it felt claustrophobic. This is not even a mummy bag either. Here's a good way to break this down: the temperature threshold is the same for both bags, and they are made of the same material. So ultimately it's based on whether you like more space in a sleeping bag to roll in or like being tucked and taking as little space as possible. I would prefer the width of this bag (39") and the height to be 80", but Teton doesn't sell a bag that size. So me being a roller and mover at night, I want something with more width and space to move around in.This bag I felt was actually much easier to place into its carrying case than its smaller counterpart. When rolled up an in the carrying bags they only differ in size slightly. I felt that because this was a larger length and width bag, It would be a monstrous size when packing. Not so. It's only slightly bigger. I included pics to show you this XXL bag and the smaller version I purchased. My type of activity is merely visiting a ranch several weekends a quarter and sleeping under a tent in 24F weather. I do not do any trekking or multi-day camping (yet) where space might be extremely scarce. That is another thing to consider: if you are 5'10" and under, seriously ask yourself what you will be doing and approx. how much space will be available for you to sleep. This not only applies to the packing weight, but also the surface area you will be taking up if sharing a tent or limited ground space. Because space was not that dire of an issue for me, I opted for a little more comfort. If you want bare minimum size -relative to your height, consider getting the smaller bag. Those who are 5'11"+ and still want a narrow bag (36") should look at this product made by teton. TETON Sports Celsius XL -18 Degree C / 0 Degree F Flannel Lined Sleeping Bag (90"x 36", Green)This XXL bag states that is will hold up @ -18C/0F and fits people 5'6"-6'6". Some people are saying that this is a monstrous size bag and that if you are 300+ lbs it is made for you. I disagree. I'm 5'8" and 180 lbs. Yes this is a big bag when compared to a small bag. That's why it looks so big. But I hate small bags simply because when I toss and turn so does my sleeping bag. And by the next morning I will be curled along with my sleeping bag in some uncomfortable contorted position. The only place where I see it as large is simply its length. I do not need 90" of length. But if I have someone else sleeping in my bag with me, at least their height won't be discriminated by the bag. If I did not have a tent then I could actually slide lower into the bag and have my whole head covered in warmth. Also, having a wider bag allows for you to have more space vertically in your bag. The narrower your sleeping bag, the less vertical space you have. And whether you are claustrophobic or just like stretching your legs, you won't enjoy the smaller bag teton makes. I really like the quality and strength of stitching of the bag. It seems like I can get a lot of use from it and with its limited lifetime warranty, I can rest assured.

My girls love them. They have a special zipper that wont snag the bag when zipping or unzipping it. Also comes with some hooks so you can fold it and roll it perfectly.Would buy again.

Really nice quality sleeping bag for my 4 year old granddaughter. Soft and warm. Plow zipper that doesn't get stuck. Carry bag with shoulder strap. I am very happy with this item. Thanks, Amazon.

My son love, loves, loves this sleeping bag. It's a great item for a boy that is transitioning into a bigger boy and doesn't want all the fluffy characters or superheros anymore. It's a great quality. We washed it, he's uses it for sleepovers, etc. One of the best things I ever bought on amazon.

Excellent children's sleeping bag. Moved up to new bags when we started to camp in the mountains where it gets into the 40's at night even in summer. These bags are comfortable, very warm and made well. The girls (9 & 7) opened them up the day they arrived and got in them to watch TV. Though school will start soon I am sure they will get a lot of use for sleep overs and just watching TV.

I bought this sleeping bag for my nephew and he loves it! He tends to be a little rough on things and he has had this for over a year and it is still in great shape. He does not use it just for camping but drags it around the house to lay on the floor with it. It is also very warm for when it is a little cool outside.

Got these for my kids for sleep overs. They are very well made and the kids love them. They are very purple though as others have stated. Be warned however, as the description says, these are colder weather bags. If your kids are in them and the room is warm, like 75ish, they are going to complain about being hot. Fantastic price for a good product.

I bought two of these bags for car camping in the Colorado mountains. The first night I went to use them, I zipped a left and a right together to create a big sleeping bag for two people. Very cozy and warm, I was impressed with the warmth given I was camping at almost 12,000 ft. However, at the coldest part of the morning, I discovered the bags had somehow come unzipped and the zipper was mangled and somehow misaligned. Huge bummer! I couldn't get them zipped back up, or unzipped to try and use them separately. This was really surprising given this was the first time I used them! Gaping hole in the bottom of the bags while trying to sleep the rest of the night was not enjoyable.Once I got back home, I wrote to Teton Sports on their website and told them what happened. Within 24 hours they responded, and sent me two brand new sleeping bags without question! Great customer service! I got our new bags, and am hoping the next time we go camping the zippers will hold up, because otherwise, these bags are great in terms of warmth, comfort and price!

Very nice sleeping bag. Its not flannel inside, but its soft and comfortable. Be aware of your needs when you buy this. If you're not using it in cold weather, consider getting a lighter version. I bought it for a camping trip in WV in early May. Although I was in a cabin with no heat, this was too warm. A friend who was on the trip brought the lighter version of this and said it was perfect. In short, if you're camping in really cold weather, get this. If you're camping in temps above 30 degrees, get the lighter one.

So the thing is large! LOTS of room... I'm not very tall but I can fit in this with my wife! Only portion I must have missed what the bottom does not unzipper all the way to open as a full blanket/cover. It can only be a sleeping bag. Reason for the 3 stars. That needed to be disclosed. I'll let you know more if it isn't awesome warm after this weekend.

Wow do these keep you warm. Too hot inside the sleeping bag so you try to get out and forgot it's freezing outside of the sleeping bag. We love it but it won't work for summer/spring camping

I've used this once while camping out in a tent in Iowa in November. I was on an air mattress with a blanket between me in the sleeping bag and the air mattress. Honestly, I wasn't freezing, but I wasn't as warm as I thought I'd be snuggled up inside. Maybe I don't generate enough body heat. It was only around mid 20's outside, but I was inside a tent and wasn't toasty warm.

I bought this as an emergency sleeping bag.I tried this inside the house as I haven't gotten any chance to use it outdoor. It's huge for single use, but very tight for two. I'm 5'2" tiny, my husband is 5'8" slim (except for his belly...). We had to snuggle very tight to fit in and zip all up... and a minute later, we started to get slightly sweaty. I guess it should be ok for emergency use!As the size is big, the carrying size is big too, and it's hard to fit it back. It was recommended to store it in a clothe/mesh bag rather than the bag came with it. I wonder how other people manage this. I might sew the bag by myself as I can't find something suitable.

A good size for a first sleeping bag. Warm bright colors and it washes well. Your kid will never be able to roll it back up and forget the ties that roll it up anyway...they aren't centered properly to hold it closed. I can tackle the rolling up and keeping it tidy by jamming it back into the bag. I suggest letting out the extra stitches in the bag to accommodate this - it's a bit hard to see but there is a seam that is sewn intentionally smaller than needed.

I bought this for my niece- very cute, but not sure how warm it will be. She loved it though.I should have researched it some more though. The inside of the sleeping bag is the same as the outside. I prefer a bag with some sort of flannel. It easily rolled up and fit back in the bag once you follow the instructions on where to tear the two spots on the outer bag to make it bigger

kept my kid nice and warm but he did not like the linking inside. It is the same as the outside. 100% polyester so we line the inside with his plush blanket and zip him up. It does the job. Keeps him from kicking off the blankets in the middle of the night and keeps him nice and warm for the winter.

Worked for our camping trip. My 7 year old likes it. Hindsight, I would have got something with a soft lining vs. this slick material.

Just the right size for our 7 year old, with just a bit of extra room to grow.One detraction is that the stuff bag is a tad small. It's nearly impossible for an adult to get the bag stuffed back inside, let alone a child.

Bought this sleeping bag for my 11 year old who was scheduled to go on a Boy Scout camping trip within a few days and we needed something in a hurry.He said it was fairly cold out that weekend and this sleeping bag kept him plenty warm and the zipper worked perfectly. He is fairly tall for his age (5'3) and we were worried it would be too small, but he said it was just fine.

I didn't like the fact that the zipper is only on the side so that you cannot open the bag to lay flat. It does not really make sense and renders it useless as a blanket. I did not use it in really cold weather so it was adequate for me in the warmth department. I would not recommend buying this sleeping bag simply based on the fact that you cannot open up the bag to lay flat.

 its a big serious bag for your fall or winter kit.the bottom is sown shut, the zipper sucks, so you will want to sleep in it without zipping it up. bring a fleeze or wool blanket. NOT for hiking, to big, too heavy. first impressions video provided. if the teton team is watching, FIX the stupid zipper. its a bad design, u'll see why in the video.

Very mixed feelings about this sleeping bag. I has some very nice features...I like that the bottom head piece can hold a pillow securely in place so it is there in the morning. I like the idea of the riber filled roll all along the inside of the sipper to keep out any drafts and it is very warm. The problem I have as a restless sleeper is the bag is so soft or squishy (really at a loss for a term) when I change position the bag slides all over the place and does not stay on the bed. I have gotten all twisted up and have a hard time shifting position. The bag does not seem to stay in one place either. seems like the lightness causes it to lacking any form it just twists and turns. Maybe there is too much (or more) fabric inside and it is not attached to the cover? I am thinking of trying to tie it down to the bed or maybe quilting the outer and inner surfaces together.

The sleeping bag is very big which is good becuase I am a big person. I am 6'4" and I got about 4 inches of extra room so it is quite big. It's very wide and I can keep my legs as far apart as I want. It isn't very warm however. I camped out in 30 degree weather and was waking up freezing. I think that's because it's so big. It's extremely comfortable however and great for spring or fall. I haven't tried it out in the summer yet but I imagine it would be to hot. Don't buy this expecting to sleep in 10 degree weather. All in all I am happy with my purchase. I will have to find a sleeping bag that I can sleep with in the winter. But this replaces my old sleeping bag. I toss and turn a lot and this bag gives me all the room I need to do that. Also the zipper is covered up really well so that's not why I was cold in the winter. I think it's because the bag was so big that it was hard for it to insulate th whole bag. My body was usually toasty but my legs and feet were what was cold. So keep that in mind you might want a smaller bag of you plan to sleep in freezing temperatures. All in all a great buy

I have one of these bags and it is great. Good for my allergies and is perfect of cabin and camping. Super comfortable with very soft materials. Feels like a cloud. The bag maintains a good fluff of air that is the key to warmth at the same time, compresses neatly into the travel bag. However, be very careful when ordering. There are so many options that sneak up on you. Right zip is your right hand when you are laying in the bag. Also, the size is NOT a pic. It is the headline. I over-looked that and got a XXL by mistake. Not sure how to exchange for a Regular.

I purchased this bag because I get really claustrophobic in mummy bags and liked the warmth rating. I took this sleeping bag camping this summer. Temperatures got down to about 25 degrees. I was pretty dang cold. I am wondering if it is because the bag is REALLY large for me. I am 5'6, average female build, and was just in fleece pajamas. I was disappointed given the fact that it was rated to 0. The next night I threw a flannel blanket on top and was cozy and warm. I'm not an avid camper so I'm wondering if you're supposed to dress a certain way for the warmth rating to apply? I have no clue what I am doing, but all I know is that I was cold.I gave it a 3 star because I was warm and cozy the second night with a blanket on top, I like the roominess of the bag, and it is easy to shove in the bag and carry with you.

It's okay for the price. Next time I would spend more money and buy my son a sleeping bag that has more padding/filling and is more comfortable. The color is a dark teal/greenish blue.

My kids love this sleeping bag, me kind of. It's very cozy and comfortable. However we went camping and the temp dropped to about 53 degrees at night, and my kids got cold in their sleeping bags. They even hand on clothes in their sleeping bags. So that's a bummer, but at least it's comfy!

I wish this sleeping bag came with elastic bands to hold it together once rolled up. I bought this for my 7-year old daughter and she has difficulty holding the bag together while trying to tie the strings together shoe-string style.

Nice sleeping bag for ages 2-7. More for kids and not for youth as it is pretty small.

The first one we ordered, the bag was ripped, then the sleeping bag ripped too. Ordered another one and it seemed to be much better, would rate that one a 5.

It's an inexpensive sleeping bag... I don't really know what to say about it. It feels kind of cheap and flimsy to me. My daughter has used it for sleepovers and thinks it is fine, however it is near impossible to roll up. And forget trying to get it back in that bag, haha!

On first use, I unzipped it and the zipper broke. Without being able to close properly, it's not so warm. Like other people have said, the fact that it doesn't open all the way is kind of a bummer.

Pros:1. Material makes you very warm.2. Rolls up nice and compact.Cons:1. The inside material is not soft flannel. More like slick polyester.2. The zipper is only on one side of the bag. If you plan on using this for a blanket or a layer for your kids pallet, find something else. There is no zipper down by your feet.3. You can not machine wash or dry clean this sleeping bag. The tag says hand wash and lay flat to dry, Well it can't lay flat cause the zipper does not go curve down around your feet. I can see cleaning this outside on the picnic table with a water hose.

Pros-This sleeping bag was large and warm. Fabrics soft and comfortable. Plenty of room to move your legs around. The zipper was constructed well. Compact. Fit into the carrying bag well.Cons-The red lining bled. Stained my white underwear pink. That was hard to explain to my wife. And the biggest con is that it is not machine washable and no dry clean......hand wash ONLY! Are you kidding me? We put it into the washer anyway and dried it in the dryer on air. This voids the warranty, but who cares. I'm not hand washing a freaking sleeping bag by hand. So it lived to be used another day!

A heavy sleeping bag but its warm and elements resistant ,the zipper however, malfunctioned as soon as I unzipped it . It will not zip up .its teeth will not connect when I try to zip it up but the teeth will connect if I unzip it. Of all the weird types of malfunctions. I tried sleeping with it as a blanket but as the foot of the bag is sewn together it has three (ish) corners instead of 4 so it doesnt even work well as a bed spread and trying to wrap yourself in it if youre outside on a cold night works but inefficiently so at best. The bag I bought is not suitable for camping nor is it suitable for the bed , Who the hell thinks to test a friggin zipper??????? It sat for a few weeks before I got it out and I dont know if I can even return it and Im not sure I want to make the effortI paid 70 bucks for this dud. If I ever decide to scale Mt ST Helens Ill be sure to take another model with me because this one wont cut it. I may contact the seller and ask they replace it , or just give me a refund , this was money poorly spent.

It was okay as sleeping bags go. The dye from the inside fabric stained everything that touched it! It was difficult to put it back in the sleeve that it comes with. Wouldn't buy or recommend.

I gave it three stars because in the one use where it was around 45 degrees, it was nicely warm. However, don't buy this sleeping bag if you want the option of zipping two together. The zipper doesn't extend along the bottom of the bag, so when connecting the right zip with the left zip, the connection is in the middle of the two bags...which means the entrance to the bag is in the middle. The zipper on the bottom slowly works its way unzipped during the night and since the inside is a flannel material, you don't slide around in the bag if you turn on your side so the top zipper works it's way unzipped too. Seems like a design flaw and I'm sad I can't return these since I didn't use them until after the return window.

Great bag color way off bought for my daughter who loves turquoise but this bag looks like a boys army blue green. Would have returned it but the bag string broke when I was trying to stuff it back in.

It doesn't compress. To expect a child to carry such a large thing (the stuff sack is a joke)... no thanks!

Purchased two of these for Christmas gifts. My kids prefer a sleeping bag at night, so I bought these to replace their older cheap ones. They are a perfect weight and exactly what I was looking for. They loved the colors and the material. Sadly, the stitching is already unraveling just a two weeks later.

Nice looking sleeping bag but poor quality. Seams were popped upon arrival. Purchased as a gift for Christmas.

The carrier that the sleeping bag came in was ripped. Also the zipper is broken. This was for my 7 year old daughter. She thought it was so pretty too. I will be returning this item :(

The sleeping bag was exactly as described and we just used it for the first time camping a few weeks ago. As far as quality, the seam between the pink and purple part is already frayed. It was used two nights by a 5 year old so there wasn't a whole lot of wear to cause such an issue.

for some reason the lining and the outer part of the bag don't stay lined up very well so the bag isn't long enough. I am 5ft 9 and it only came up to my chest.

The zipper doesn't cover the entire area around the feet. It'll zip up all the way but it'll leave a bit of an open gap at the feet. Your feet will get cold. I'll submit a photo when I get around to it.

UpdateZipper broke first night!I am going to contact Amazon about return or replacement actually want to return don't want another one would have thought it being. Teton would have been better the zipper hung when it was zipped all the way and then with only light pulling the zipper broke and separated from bag!Seems like a really good product will be using it for my camping trip this weekend

lousy zipper , will not stay zipped

It was 48 degrees and frroze not what the rating said would cover sent back

This could have been a nice product. It's oversized, light, durable and nicely lined. However, the opens and closes with a cheap plastic zipper, the kind that often doesn't work. Hence this is not a reliable product for designated uses such as camping or sleeping out on a cold winter night. As an old infantry guy, I can vouch for the importance of having a sleeping bag that closes properly in the depth of winter or in inclement weather. You cannot go out in the field with a sleeping bag that stands less than a 50/50 chance of opened opened and closed. That would be madness. Hence I have to stay an attempt to make a nice product was ruined once again by greed and the desire to fatten the bottom line at the cost of safety and security to those in need of such. This leaves me no choice but to give this product a "failed" rating, in letter terms F-,

Storage bag was torn in 3 different places. Looks like it was previously used when it was supposed to be brand res!

The zipper ripped out on this after 2 uses

The first night my daughter used it the zipper broke. I was so disappointed.

cute. but, very slippery. we put on a pad, and the sleeping bag slipped all night long. she couldn't sleep in it.

Very disappointed with the sleeping bag. Gave the tent and sleeping bag to my 4 year old Grandson and, before even using the sleeping bag discovered there was a hole in it! Not something you'd expect on Christmas Day!!! Very disappointed!

It was ripped when we took it out of the box.
