Ozark Trail 40F Mummy Sleeping Bag Reviews

The bag on its own is very comfortable down to the 30-degree range. With the return of the colder weather, it is time to pull out our winter sleeping bags.

Every so often a brand will fly under the radar producing products that are not only a great value but also great quality as well. Browse Ozark Trail’s top-rated sleeping bags and pads and more.

Too bad too because overall I’ve had good luck with Ozark Trail stuff. Too bad the buyer at Walmart has gone to sleep on quality control on this product. I used this bag from February of 2002 to June of 2002 on the Appalachian Trail, and I still have it. The first night out it was less than 14 degrees F, and I had at least 50 nights under 40 degrees F. I can’t say I was warm, but I wasn’t shivering, freezing, or cold either, although I did wear 2 layers of clothing.

The Yeti has the most streamlined design of the three coolers, staying true to the original Yeti look and feel.

It is water resistant, but not waterproof, and it stores extremely well. When it’s in the compression sack it comes with, it’s about 12 inches tall and 5 inches wide.

The coolers remained in the same location for the duration of the 6 day test, only being opened to snap daily progress pictures.

The constant color feature among the two are the orange rimmed wheels which I don’t love but, it is not a deal breaker.
