Side by Side Comparison of: American Trails vs Coleman

These sleeping bags are great!!! They zip together so 2 average size adults can fit in nice and cozy. The were super soft. Great bag for the price!!! It rolls up and has two elastic bands to hold it closed, no bag to try to stuff it back into!!

Wasn't really sure what to expect from this, given the low price. Gotta say, I'm thrilled with this sleeping bag. I purchased it for a cub scouts camping trip since temperatures were expected to drop down to 40 (we're in FL so we don't get TRULY cold weather). The first night was in the 50s and husband and I went to bed on our air mattress with our standard fleece camp blankets for warmth. After an hour of shivering, I fumbled around and found one of these in the dark, opened it, and zipped it into a single person sleeping bag, crawled in and was toasty and warm all night. For night two, with colder weather on the way, we zipped the two bags together into a double sleeping bag. I was afraid it would be cold or cramped, or difficult, but it was none of those things. With patience, it zipped together easily (did have to go slow to avoid catching the filling in the zipper). Once it was together, it was plenty roomy for two normal sized adults. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'11". I was concerned that our feet would be cramped/crowded, but I had to really stretch my toes to even make contact with the bottom end of the bag. My feet never got too hot (I tend to kick off the covers at the bottom) and I tend to be claustrophobic and like my personal space. I had plenty of room, and we both slept well in 40 degree weather. We did use it on top of an air mattress. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of our son's Coleman sleeping bag such as fasteners to make folding easier, or a dedicated bag (it does have elastic straps to keep it rolled) but this double sleeping bag (or two single sleeping bags) cost less than his "adolescent" sized bag.

When I first looked at these, I wasn't very confident in it, as the price etc made me think it was kinda sketchy. I tried it out the same night I opened it, and let me tell you: it was great. It's super cushiony and soft and definitely warm. I was in about 60degrees and it was overly warm actually, but this is meant for colder weather, and to be fair, I am a person who heats up quickly. I am planning on a road trip later this month so hopefully this'll keep me warm in those colder temperatures we'll be receiving there. But so far it seems great. it's extremely comfortable and for two bags as well you can't beat the price. It's definitely exceeded my expectations. The only thing to note however, is that they are a bit large in packing up. That's about the only Con I can think of that I didn't like, but for the price, all the extra cushion, etc. I can't complain. :)UPDATE: I finally went on my road trip and weather got down to 30-40degrees Fahrenheit. These worked well enough. I did have an extra blanket, but they were definitely still warm and extremely comfortable. I got the two and my friend and I just zipped them together and used my extra blanket together underneath as well. Our first night at Joshua tree was a nightmare for my sister and the rest of the trip she ended up using these sleeping bags lol. Definitely worth it and waaay better than her mummy sleeping bag that she froze in xD

We are a large guy and gal and these bags are perfect. Two come in the package, as expected. They were fairly easy to zip together. I do wish the zippers could be more heavy duty. All and all I think this was a fantastic buy.

Let's face it, Ozzie and Harriet weren't climbing Mount Everest.This bag is NOT for extreme cold temperatures, nor does it pretend to be.This bag is (at best) a 3 season bag.It is perfect for cabins or "Glamping"(It's warm and comfortable at 45 - 50 degrees and used on a cot.)

Once we zipped the two bags together, it was nice large sleeping bag that covered a queen-size air mattress. My husband is 6 foot tall and it fit him comfortably. The only downside is the gap in the middle between the zippers when the two bags are zipped together.

This bag worked great for our summer camping trip. I'm small 5'2" and found it perfect and comfortable. My husband who is 5'10" was not impressed and said he needed a bigger bag. However, he likes movement when he is sleeping. Also it was warm out. If it was winter I'm assuming he would have been happier as it would have been snug and kept him warm.

Put two of these together for a late spring camping trip for my husband and I. Didn't even feel the chill! It was maybe low/mid 30s that night here in New England. The only thing that was cold was our heads poking out.

I loved it! went on a camping trip it was about 30 degrees at night. I was totally warm. upper body. I would wear double socks or a fleece blanket for your feet. My feet were cold. No snags no rips. Honestly I would buy a compression bag or straps. you will need to expand the bag that comes with it.

Decided to write a review because I rely so much on them when buying stuff. First let me say - I don't camp, and I'd never had a sleeping bag before, so it's not like I can compare to anything else. Having said that, I must say that this one is perfect for what I need - I got it so I could sleep on a sidewalk in NYC (in the standby line for SNL tickets), and every time it keeps me completely warm, and as comfortable as I could possibly be. I could not put it back in the bag, but I have it inside a suitcase where I put whatever else I need to bring with me.

I bought these for my grandsons. They are as thick and warm as advertised. The interior bedding is soft and also made of a material that is warm when put against the skin. I wish the bags they fit in were a little bigger. They are a bit difficult to roll back up and I wasn't able to get them back into their bags they came with. Yet, the bags themselves are great and the price is worth it.

Great sleeping bags for the price point. It held up fine in 50 degree temps. The inside isn't flannel, so that was a disappointment, but that also means that any dirt or leaves falls right off.

This is not a cold weather sleeping bag but that's why I bought it. 42 was chilly. That won't be the norm for me in the South. Tying them together is a breeze and more than enough of room for two.

My husband and I bought this for our camping trip and really enjoyed how cozy it is! I would definitely suggest that you put a thin blanket on the inside because the sleeping bag texture on the inside is not that warm in the middle of the night! This product would be amazing if it was flannel lined on the inside! It is big enough for two people or three kids. We had plenty of space!

I bought these for a camping trip and they work out great! The only down side was when I tried to roll them up zipped together there was nothing to wrap around them. The elastic loops on the bags were not large enough for the bags rolled together. Next time I will just take along a bungee cord or two. Other wise they were warm and soft. Cant comment on how well they would o in really low temps but for light summer camping they were good!

Believed this was going to be simply two bags that zip together. It was indeed two bags however they are not identical. One bag is thicker than the other. You can use them as two separate bags as long as you know one is thinner than the other. For our use, summer camping, both bags are warm enough. Tent camping with lows in the 50's they will work well. Colder than this would be a stretch.

I have been meaning to write a review of this product for awhile. When I purchased this item, I thought, because of its being so affordable, that it would probably begin falling apart relatively soon after I received it; but I have been using it for over six months now, and it is holding up really well. None of the seams or stitching have begun to come undone as I thought they would (as I have had happen to me before with inexpensive sleeping bags). So I think this double bag is going to continue to hold up; and, even if it were to begin falling apart, it is inexpensive enough that I would simply replace it right away. Therefore, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this double sleeping bag again, at least as they're now made and if they continue to be manufactured as well.

Bought this for my son's winter retreat. He found it very comfortable. He was in a heated cabin so I can't say how it would be in cold weather but it is well made. The only reason I gave 4 stars is I wish the bag that it came in was just a little bit bigger. We ended up not using it because we just couldn't get it back in the bag.

Had this overnighted to my daughter at camp because she forgot to pack hers. It works great and is warm.

Why four stars?

I'm glad you asked! Because once you take it out of the bag, it will take you over 20 minutes to get it back in. I have 5 other sleeping bags from various places and various types. I can roll them all up like a champ and get them in a bag in under 5 minutes no issue - this one...even with a zipper that unzips so you can get it back in - took me and my sister 20 minutes to cram it all in horrifically. And there is NO WAY you are getting that zipper closed like it came.

It works for the price. It's a good sleeping bag really good zipper. I have sleeping bags that are quite a bit more money. We bought this for a grandchild and I have a hard time understanding the difference in the price between our expensive sleeping bags and this Coleman. , ours are a little bit colder rated and a little bit lighter .But there's a lot of money difference.

To all of the naysayers who thought it couldn't be done. IN YOUR FACE! I managed to get the sleeping bag back into the zipped up stuff sack. Any one else up to the challenge? Decent product BTW.

This is a great sleeping bag if you are planning on parking where you are camping and are not pressed for space. It is a rather large sleeping bag but it does keep you very warm. The first night I had it the temperature went down to 22 and I was more then comfortable in it. The only problem I have with it is that it is short. I know it was designed like that so it only comes up to you shoulders but, I am not a very tall guy I am only 5'7" and had to completely bend my knees to pull it over my head when it got cold. Because I am able to sleep in that position it was ok with me but for a lot of other guys who are taller them me it might be a real problem. It is definitely a great sleeping bag for people who only plan to go camping a couple of times a year and don't want to invest in a more expensive bag. I feel that this is extremely reasonably priced and it is a great value for your money. Just don't expect to be able to do any kind of backpacking with it because I don't even think it would be able to fit into a backpack.

If you can buy this at one of the lowest prices, it's okay. This is by no means the cold weather sleeping bag but for moderate weather it's decent. Because this is a two person bag, the warmth of the other person also helps but on the other hand, it could also get too hot. Note that these sleeping bags are not equal in sizes. One (on top) is smaller than the other.Overall - DecentQuality - Not great but passableSleeping size - big enough for 3 small adults. Accommodates 3 Asians.Packing size - too big.

I didn't expect much for a double sleeping bag that was under 20 bucks. So, I wasn't disappointed. It's hard to zip up. And it's really just two normal sleeping bags you open up and zip together for one double sleeping bag. I ended up using these as two because the zippers did not align. But, once you finally got them zipped up you can crawl inside them...because you have to be sitting up and struggling with the zipper with both hands to zip it up. But once zipped and you crawl inside it's fine.

great sleeping bag though the comfort temperature are a bit blown out of proportion. We slept in it with my daughter and at 40 deg F, we were not that comfy. Lining is quite thin .... there are not bags for the sleeping bag. it is basically two sleeping bag that can be connected together. on is slightly longer than the other one. overall i'm just ok with it. it is a summer sleeping bag, for temp of 50 and up.

Did a good job keeping us both warm on the cool nights but not so much on the cold nights had to add a blanket. Was sad that the inside was all nylon and not all material. Overall for a camping when its going to be just cool temperatures this bag will work great, easy to get in and out of both sides and has lots of room.

Zipper was very hard to zip up. Zipper made of very cheap material. Otherwise was a good purchase.

The size is great, but it doesn't keep you warm-even with two people sleeping in it. I was surprised as I have never had a sleeping bag that didn't keep me warm, even very warm, but with this one we needed to put a blanket inside to even it out.It's comfy and the size is prefect for two people though, it could just use some more insulation. I was also very disappointed in it's storage. I was going to assume it would come in a bundling bag that would be convenient for travel (like all other sleeping bags), but this came in two halves, each in it's own plastic bag, which was not meant for keeps.

Inside lining is not a smooth material so when you go to roll over, you get somewhat stuck. Otherwise not bad.

Bought this sleeping bag for my girlfriend. She's not a warm sleeper, but this bag is supposed to be good for as low as 20 degrees F. It did not get below freezing and she was very cold. This bag is nice for the summer (maybe), but be forewarned that if you sleep cold, you will want a better sleeping bag. Now we just use it for an extra blanket around the house.

Comfortable enough when it's cold, But I can't get it rolled up and the cord around it no matter how tightly I try to roll it, the cord won't reach. Very annoying.

Great sleeping bag with one really annoying flaw...the strings that you use to secure it when rolled are too short. It's like wrestling a bear to get them hooked together, my 6 year old son will never be able to do it & frankly, neither can his parents. Not to mention getting it back into its bag it's a nightmare. So basically I need to find something else to secure it, bought one years ago in different color for my older son & we don't have this same problem.

Sleeping bag came with three inch section of seam unsewed. Bought it with a delusion of Coleman quality, sewed the seam myself with newly opened eyes and newfound disgust of cheap Chinese crap disguised as American made quality. Eff you coleman

Not what I was looking for. Very thin sleeping bags only made for warm weather camping. Didn't like the silky material being inside, prefer flannel or cotton lining. The poly one gets hot and makes me sweat badly!

Did not receive two sleeping bags...only received one and I can't seem to locate the sellers information to contact them. The material of the single sleeping bag is thick and seems nice, but I purchased it as a double person sleeping bag.

This sleeping bag should be avoided. Not only it is cheaply made, but it is not nearly as warm as advertised. My girlfriend and I used it on a night that got down to 47 degrees according to a thermometer in our tent and we nearly froze. We had to get out of bed and double down on socks and sweatshirts just to make it through the night. We have used this bag on warmer evenings and it is fine for that purpose but do not be misled and think this is capable of handling actual cold weather. Don't make the same mistake I did, spend a few more dollars to get a higher quality sleeping bag.

the photo pictures a double sleeping...I only got the bottom one. misleading

Not really what I expected. Price was low, but so was value. OK for kids to use at a sleepover but not at all a sleeping bag for camping or outdoors living. The shell is a slippery nylon, insulation is thin and the bag does not retain body heat very well. If you are looking for a legitimate camping bag, this is not the one.

I got this sleeping bag for my girlfriend and I for a white water rafting camping trip we were going on. When it got here we noticed how bulky it is, extremely inconvenient to carry. It comes with no carrying bag, something that is standard with most sleeping bags.If you can get past these things fine. But the warmth was also an issue. It says it is 35-45 degrees. That night was in the 40's, but the sleeping bag did nothing to keep us warm.Spend the extra couple of bucks on a better model.

The fabric lining the inside of this sleeping bag feels really gross against your skin, it's really REALLY cheapo material, almost like some kind of gauzy disposable napkin. The picture makes the quality look much better. Also, you probably won't be able to get the pack back into its carrier with the bag's smaller zipper setting.

I bought two bags and I wish I had not. I would really, really like to return these sleeping bags and try buying something else, but Amazon would charge me $12 for return shipping, and that's just dumb.

Do not make the same mistake I made: avoid this sleeping bag!

THIS BAG IS HUGE and quite heavy AND impossible to put back in its pouch. I wish I could give a better review of how the bag suited me when I went camping but unfortunately I didn't go anywhere with this sack because it is a monstrosity. The quality seems fine, so buy this sack to keep around the house for when company comes over or if you exclusively DRIVE up to your campsite and have space in the back. Otherwise, save your money and buy a proper sleeping bag with a stuff sack and a removable liner. What a waste of money and space.

I should have got a army one or a big & tall its not long enough and not very durable my 12 year old who I gave it to has half destroyed it and the zipper gets stuck if you don't do it slowly. Also it needs a proper bag like north face where you put it in bag then there are straps to compress it.

Im 5'11, and the sleeping bag was too short for me.
This is not a 20 degree sleeping bag.
I would suggest this bag for women because, but not all.
short, and not so broad shoulders.
not for winter, more like a colder summer.
i don't consider this a cheap made bag. i like the quality.
like most items, don't force the zipper. if it grabs the material back off and re-zip.

I brought this for my son's class trip. We had opened it to try it for size. It's big enough & comfortable.
When we try to fold it & put it back to the bag, we tried numerous times & still unsuccessful.
Then had my husband try, still unsuccessful. There is no way I can let him take it on the trip as it was bulky & impossible to fit back to bag. I had no choice but to order another thinner bag. This is now just sitting in my closet. I guess if we have a sleep over or something. Should of trust the reviews that it was hard to fold & put back to bag.

Very, very disappointed! I was sent one single sleeping bag instead of a double as advertised. The description clearly states that the bag is susposed to be a double bag. I needed this for a trip scheduled this weekend. So, there is not even enough time to return to get my money back in order to buy another one elsewhere. Buyer Beware...This is only a single bag and not a double as advertised!

returning....for the price this would be an ok bag (bought mine open box through Warehouse deals)however there is a serious design flaw which is likely why it ended up in WD. It did arrive in like new condition which was cool for the price of 21.00 bucks however the way the manufacturer sews the inside lining it leaves a seam that blocks the zipper trackThe zipper immediately stuck even when I was being very careful. It's too bad. this set (yes there were two single bags in the box that can be put together to make a double) would be great if not for this poor design. I suppose if you were handy with a sewing machine you could find a way to tack down the seam and keep it from blocking the zipper but totally not worth it unless you got these for a great deal like I did. I'm just NOT handy with a sewing machine at all! They scare me lolPros: it's a good weight if the zipper situation was resolved I would love these bags.

Good quality but it was like I only recieved one half? If you zip it together it's a one person, but I ordered the giant. Not happy

Who do I contact for only receiving one out of the two bags? I bought this as a birthday present for my boyfriend. His birthday is December 6th and was planning a huge camping trip after Christmas. I read and re-read the description but did not see anywhere that I had to buy this item twice in order to receive both bags.

Where's the rest?!? I'm assuming they only sent me half because this is just your normal every day sleeping bag. Maybe Ozzie and Harriet were stick people. I'd give this thing half a star if possible because that's what I got, a 2 person giant sleeping bag x 1/2. It says giant in the description but I guess that truly is a relative term. To a toddler this might appear to be giant, but so would large adult underwear. Please tell me the other half is on The way.

Flimsy, no storage bag or even straps to keep them rolled. These are two single bags you have to zip together to make a double and the zippers are so difficult to zip together. I do not recommend.

The fabric on the inside of the bag is very uncomfortably on my skin. It feels like cheap winter pajamas.

Just took this out of the washer and the seams are coming apart. Very surprised at the poor quality of this Coleman sleeping bag. I have others and never had a problem.. Too much trouble to return.

I have had this bag a couple of weeks now. I first loved it. It is good for the price but I have developed a problem with it. The inside material is rough to the touch and it makes me itch. I can not stand to be in it now. If you have rough hands and feet you will know it immediately when you get in it. The outside of the bag material is smooth and soft but not the inside. Good Luck

When I tried to open it on the camping site for the first time, the zipper stitches got ripped.

I bought this for my 10 year old son's camping trip. The product says it is rated for use between 20 and 40 degrees. The temperature only dropped to 34 -- the midpoint in its comfort rating -- but my son said he was miserably cold in it. He is usually indifferent to the cold so I am very disappointed.
