I had a thought recently. It wasn't anything deep, just a thought that I should talk more about the lovely world of sleeping bags. I'm no expert, but I do have a dozen of them around the house for no apparent reason. So hopefully this is just the beginning of me talking about sleeping bags, but if it's not....sorry. You'll have to go somewhere else for that information.
One bag that I've had for awhile is this TETON Sports Fahrenheit XXL Sleeping Bag, which comes in a six or so varieties from -25 degrees to 0 degrees to +25 degrees (all degrees in Fahrenheit, sorry other countries, but duh...it's in the name!). All are 100% cotton flannel on the inside, and taffeta on the outside except for the lowest temp model which uses ripstop to keep the weight in line.
The cool thing here is that if you're a big guy, which I'm not, but my father-in-law is then this sleeping bag is one to keep you're eye on. Regular sleeping bags in this cohort from TETON are 80" in length, but the XXL goes to 90", which as Donald Trump would say is huge (see below).
Ok...enough with that. But seriously, if you are 6 ft tall or more, then you'll want the extra space assuming that you're not on a backpacking trip and need to keep things light.

So what's the downside here? These are high quality sleeping bags that will keep you warm down to the specified temperature. Well I'd say there are a few shortcomings, but nothing that prevented me from buying two of these recently, one for me, and another for the misses plus child. Since the zipper does not go all the way to the bottom, you can't use this bag as a blanket. May not be a huge deal, but something to consider. Also, these bags are not the lightest in the world. I love the flannel lining and that much cotton will keep you toasty, but the -25 degree bag clocks in at over 10lbs, which is pretty dang heavy. The +25 degree bag is only 6.5 lbs, so if you can stomach it...go that route to save weight. As I've mentioned many times, I do mostly car camping, which means my gear haul is at most a football field, so that 4 lbs difference isn't a big deal for me. However, on my not-so-often hiking/camping excursions, I much prefer my sub 2 lb ALPS Mountaineering Razor Sleeping Bag.
Price: $66 - $100, depending on the style, all bags come with a stuff sack
