G'day Alex,

You could get away with this, just make sure you get ones with zips on the opposite sides. You can give us a call or email to make sure we can get one of each. There would be a lot of sleeping bag when the two are joined but you should have lots of room to move!

G'day Vanessa,

The L or R bags are not individually barcoded, so we have no way of knowing at any time whether we have both options in our current stock.
Best bet is to call our Customer Support team on 1300 914 007 if you need a specific zip side, and they can check availability for you.

G'day Mike,

The storage bag that comes with the Rivergum sleeping bag is actually pretty good, as long as you pack your sleeping bag well instead of trying to stuff and jam it in, you shouldn't have any issues.
If you'd like an alternative option, check out the Sea to Summit Dry Sack, or Big River Dry Sack in the 35L size.

G'day Daniel,

Yes it can, there is an independent foot sip along the bottom edge, and the side ones which join are separate...so you could even have one bag zipped up and one bag opened up at the feet if you have a cold person and a hot person sharing the bed.
Hope that helps!

G'day Emma,

The second sleeping bag you've mentioned is an Oztrail bag, so as these two are different brands they use different zip hardware & cannot be joined together.
If you are wantin to join two bags together, you'll need to get 2 of the same bag, eg. 2 x Oztent Rivergums.  Bare in mind you'll need to get 1 x Left zipper & 1 x Right zipper, which can be selected from the drop-down menu.

G'day Marian,

That personal preference, but I've personally never washed sleeping bags before use.  Generally sleeping bags can be challenging to wash, so we recommend using a liner, and spot cleaning if required - avoid actually washing if possible.

G'day Maz,

No, it's not waterproof, it's ultimately just a lightweight cotton 'canvas' similar to a heavy-duty apparel fabric.  It's nice and light a soft.

G'day James,

We've had mixed comments from customers who roll up their super chunky swag sleeping bags with the whole swag bundle.
It seems the original bag will be ok, but some customers prefer to upgrade to the larger 1100 bag.  I think it just comes down to individual strength and how particular you are when rolling up the swag.
The short answer is, yes it can.

G'day Derek,

Yes, the external length dimensions include the hood.
The maximum user height is 220cm, so anyone around that height or shorter will be comfortable in this bag.

G'day Jack,

I've just spoken to Oztent on this one, and the zip hardware hasn't changed.
You'll have no issue zipping a Series 1 or 2 bag together.

G'day Brett,

Yes, the Rivergum XL is an excellent sleeping bag to use inside the RS-1 Swag.

G'day David,

This is such a versatile sleeping bag for all seasons! The inner fleece liner, which is used to provide extra warmth in cold conditions can be removed to either be washed - so you don't have to wash the whole sleeping bag or you can use it on its own as a sleeping bag for warmer weather - separate from the main sleeping bag. I hope this makes sense!

G'day Bob,

The hood on the Oztent Rivergum XL isn't removable, so sorry if that doesn't work for your plans. If you're looking for an option without a hood that you can use on a double bed maybe check out the Roman Camper Double 400, Coleman Big Game, or Coleman Pilbara C-5.

G'day Luke,

Thank you for getting in touch, the Darche Cold Mountain Canvas 900 and the Rivergum XL Sleeping Bag are both pretty similar, the temperature rating, and size are fairly similar. The main differences being the Rivergum is slightly wider at 100cm and it has a zip out fleece liner. The Cold Mountain is 90cm and has a flannel inner liner (not a zip out one), it also has dual zippers so you can stick your feet out of either side! We think both are a great option, and both have great reviews online. 

G'day Matt,

Great question, the zipper is based on the side while lying in the bag on your back. For example, the left-hand zipper will be on your left-hand side if you're in the sleeping bag on your back.

We don't have any Australian made sleeping bags sorry, Zoe, they are all made overseas, predominantly in China. Unfortunately, any product made in Australia comes with a much higher price tag... something we as consumers have an aversion to.

G'day Aaron,

The Oztent Rivergum XL Sleeping Bag comes with a storage bag so you can store it directly in that. Alternately you may wish to store it loosely stuffed into a large pillow case or similar to allow the fibres to stay open and not be compacted. 

G'day Mike,

You're right in your assumption there, you can connect your Oztent Rivergum XL Sleeping Bag with the standard sized one, just make sure you get ones with zips on the opposite sides. 

G'day Joe,

There are a couple of key differences between the Oztent Rivergum XL Sleeping Bag and the Black Wolf Tuff All Season King Sleeping Bag. The Black Wolf is bigger when in use but also packs down larger as well, it also comes with a lifetime warranty compared to the Rivergum's 12-month warranty. The Rivergum will stand up better in the colder temperatures but is a little heavier because of that. 

G'day Richard,

I've jusy been down to the shop floor to double check this and yes, the Oz Tent Rivergum can be opened up completely like a blanket. 

G'day Ryan,

I've just checked this for you, and the zipper location is determined by the side of your body the zipper is on if you're inside the bag lying on your back.
