We place our own comfort rating on sleeping bags that have not been tested to any standard, Jono, some of the supplier ratings are misleading and too many of our customers were sleeping cold. The ratings we advertise are based on comparisons with other bags as well as years of customer feedback. 

Long story short, we don't feel that the estimated -5 degree rating Coleman put on this bag is adequate, it has no hood and does not compare in thickness and volume to other reliable -5 degree bags, we think it is more in line with other 5 degree bags.

G'day Mark,

If you're wanting to zip together two Pilbara bags you'll open them all the way out and overly one on top of the other so you'll end up with one big double-sized bag that will include the foot end zipper.

G'day Kristie,

The internal fleece liner is just under 1kg, so yes it will be around the same weight as the Pilbara CO, however the comfort temperature rating will reduce with the fleece removed.

G'day Aaron,

The Pilbara C-5 will suit the top of the Megamat Duo 10 as a doona. It will end up a little wider than the mat itself but you can always tuck it around and under the edges.

G'day Josh,

The Coleman Pibara C-5 Sleeping Bag has a zip-out liner, so you should be able to open up the bag itself and then zip out the whole liner.

G'day Mark,

I've just double checked the packaging on the Pilbara C-5 and it has confirmed that these bags are machine washable.

G'day Lyn,

I have spoken with a colleague who is an expert with our range of sleeping bags. They confirmed you can definitely zip those bags together, you'll just need to unzip each sleeping and lay them down like a quilt, one on top of the other and zip from the corner. I hope this makes sense. Feel free to give us a call on 1300 914 007 if you need any clarification. 

G'day Tana,

The Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bag can be zipped to another to make a double with no worries, they are rated to minus five and will come in individual stow bags. Zipping two together will give you 200cm of width. The Roman Camper Double is already a double so you only need to purchase one bag, this one will give you 165cm of width, and  are rated to zero degrees so won't be quite as warm as the Coleman. Both bags have a nice soft flannel liner, and the Coleman also has a zip out polar fleece inner which can be handy for keeping the bag clean. 

G'day Rafa,

The Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bag is a great bag, and I reckon you'll be stoked with it. As for whether or not you should get a kids' sleeping bag for your daughter, whilst it won't be quite as warm for her as it is for the adults because of the air pockets, it's still a pretty warm sleeping bag, plus, you'll not need to upgrade each time she grows. I have an adult's sleeping bag for my 6-year-old daughter and she loves it.

G'day Bree,

When you take the liner out of the Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bag, it effectively becomes the same bag as the Pilbara C0 Sleeping Bag which is rated at 0°. 

G'day Col,

There aren't left or right-hand options with the Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bag, you'd just need to open them both up and go from there like you were suggesting. 

G’day Emma,

I’ve just spoken to Coleman about this, and to their knowledge, the zipper has not changed in size so in theory the discontinued C-3 can be zipped together with the C-5.

We don’t have the old one to confirm this for you, so just keep that in mind. Sorry we couldn't give you a definitive answer Emma. 

G'day Michael,

You'll have absolutely no worries zipping two of the Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bags together. Just lay one out like a blanket and then lay the other on top, zip them together and away you go!

G'day Troy,

In terms of heat retention, there isn't a great deal of difference because while the fill is different, they've been designed to their temperature ratings of -5C for the Pilbara and -6C for the Zambezie.

We'd recommend either of the bags but please note that the Zambezie is being updated and current stock is being cleared out.

Unfortunately, the new model Coleman Pilbara sleeping bags don't have alternate zips, but they can still be joined by laying one flat on top of the other.

G'day Megan,

Yes - the Coleman Pilbara C-5 Sleeping Bag can be unzipped along the side and bottom to open up like a doona.
