Sleepcell Coolvent Premium Extra Large Sleeping Bag
I bought one of these for 12 bucks (without the bag) at a resale shop, today. The thing is in great condition, no stains, splits, or tears. My only issue with it is that it's not really a 4 season bag. Does anybody have one of these or a bag like it? What should I expect from it?

Expect only severe pain and suffering while the coolvent technology freezes your flesh off.

I own a very similar one. Its good for spring or summer but its not gonna keep you warm in anything below 40F or so.

Mine has some zippers that open on the side to reveal some mesh that lets air in. Its cool enough for warmer temps and itll take the edge off on cold nights if youre wearing a sweatshirt or something.

I think youll probably like it for how little you paid though, mines comfy enough and pretty light.

Alrighty, about what I expected. Mine's got the same vent zippers, I think. I've even got one around the feet. Thanks for the info.

i have had one of these for about three years. to be honest, it has seen limited use. my thoughts on it are as follows:

>holy fuck it's huge and impractical for hiking.
it takes up about a 3rd of my ILBE main bag. the weight is not too bad, but it doesn't pack down very effectively.

>the zippers on it are fucking awful.
no, really. fucking awful.not only do they have an insatiable and cannibalistic hunger for their own fabric, the pulls are more fragile than a neckbeard's ego.

>warm? yes. too fucking warm.
maybe this is a matter of climate, since most reviews i see on this bag are complaining about how it doesn't perform well in 10 degree weather. however, my experience has been that it's incredibly hot to sleep in unless the temp is around 50. vents or no vents.

>feels fragile
overall, i always worry about something tearing into it because the fabric is basically what i would imagine nylon toilet paper would be like.

>comfy
it actually is.

>comes with inflatable pillow and memory foam cover for it
FUCK YES.

that being said, i am going to replace it with all due haste. unfortunately, i bought mine when it was a new product, so i don't even want to discuss the loss i'm taking on it. i'll maybe keep it in case i have an ill-prepared friend.
