G'day Kath,

These are some great options! Darche would be a slightly better quality sleeping bag and honestly, the Oztrail is pretty close in quality too.

The Drover would be warmer than the Darche as it has the fleece liner and is a bit thicker. If you did add a fleece liner to the Darche you would get a similar temp rating, the average fleece liner should take it to around a comfort rating of -5 although this isn't always exact. They both have a Cotton/Flannel Lining while the Drover includes the extra fleece lining that zips in and both have foot zips. 

I would recommend both of these bags, the Darche would be great and you'd get the extra warmth by adding a liner, while the Oztrail already includes everything you need. 

G'day Troy,

The Darche Cold Mountain bags are dual zipper, so you can join them side by side in their normal lay out - meaning the hoods both stay at the back.

G'day Bec,

No, it can't.  The hood on the Cold Mountain sleeping bag range is all one piece with the bag.
Hope that helps.

G'day James,

The 1100 sleeping bag sizes are designed to be used with the 1100 wide swags, so you won't have a problem there.
In terms of wether or not it would fit back in the swag bag all rolled up together, we can't say for sure sorry as we havent tried it out.
I'd say to try with a doona or chunky quilt that you have at home already and see if that works.  The sleeping bag isnt going to be more bulky than standard bedding, so if you know that fits, its a fair bet the sleeping bag will aswell.

G'day Paul,

No, its not unfortunatey.  The Caribee Wet Roll 50L is a popular alternative, or even the Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sack in the 65L version if you want to have more of a traditional sleeping bag stuff sack style bag.

G'day Mike,

What a great idea! I just checked our display model and yes, you can fully unzip to create two blankets or quilts. One will be slightly longer though due to the hood. 

G'day Mile,

The flannel lining is completely sewn in on the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas Sleeping Bags and is not removable. The Oztent Rivergum Extra Large Sleeping Bag and the Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bag both have removable linings for versatility. You can unzip the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas Sleeping Bags down either side and along the bottom to create a quilt for those warmer nights.

G'day Shaun,

According to the instructions provided by Darche, the Cold Mountain 1100 Canvas should be hand washed separately in warm water using mild detergent.

G'day Justin,

Yes, you can zip together two of the Cold Mountain Canvas bags in two different widths, however you won't be able to zip a canvas model to a polyester model.

G'day Lockie,

The Cold Mountain Canvas 1100 is a great option, as is the Rivergum XL. Both bags have the same temperature range, with the Cold Mountain being a little wider. We'd be confident that you'd be happy with the comfort and quality of both bags.

G'day John,

Thanks for getting in touch, the internal girth of the Cold Mountain 1100 is correct at 200cm. There is some degree of flexibility based on the fabric, but the listed girth is the full internal circumference of the bag. 

G'day Nermin,

The Oztrail Cotton Canvas Jumbo and the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 1100 are pretty similar in terms of comfort rating and performance. The Darche does have a slightly heavier canvas outer fabric and both have nice, soft synthetic flannel liners that are easy to clean and quick drying. In general, the Darche does have a higher quality finish. The other bag you might be interested in looking at is the Oztent Rivergum XL.

G'day Karl,

I wouldn't want to say these are totally waterproof as no sleeping bag really is. The canvas is pretty good at keeping a bit of moisture off the fill inside the bag though, much better than the outer on a standard sleeping bag. You'd be fine to sleep out under your awning as long as the rain wasn't coming in too hard. 

G'day Karl,

The King Goanna Stretcher is only 800mm wide, so you'll be able to use the 1100mm wide Cold Mountain sleeping bag but you won't get the full advantage of the width of the bag. I'd suggest looking at the 900mm wide sleeping bag, or if you really want the wider sleeping bag look at the Outdoor Connection Sundowner Titan Camp Stretcher which is 1020mm wide. 

G'day David,

You're spot on mate, the 235cm measurement is from the foot to the very top of the hood. The measurement from the foot to the drawstring is approximately 185cm. 

G'day Eric,

The Darche Cold Mountain 1100 Canvas should be hand washed separately in warm water using mild detergent according to the care instructions Darche provide. 

G'day Grant,

You most certainly can unzip your Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 1100 all the way to create a doona!

G'day Rodger,

The warranty on the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 1100 covers the sleeping bag & cover bag. So, your bag zipper is covered by warranty.
