Rivergum XL sleeping bag

Warm and luxurious sleeping bag

The warmest and comfiest sleeping bag

To give some context, I go camping around half a dozen times each year, usually for two-to-three nights, and have done so since I was a kid. This is the second -10 sleeping bag I've owned. Firstly, the XL name is accurate. This is not a bag for hiking. It's big, thick, and very roomy. I first used the bag on the couch of my mate's freezing cold art deco apartment in winter, with no heating. Usually I'll wake up cold in the middle of the night in that place, but this time I woke up in the middle of the night because I was overheating. Last weekend I went camping in the Victorian High Country, Big River area. It was the last weekend of winter, and both mornings were 2.5c at 8am. I sleep in the tub of my ute, open to the sky (if it rains I pull a tarp over myself). Both nights I went to bed fully clothed, and with another layer over the top of my Rivergum XL. I was toasty warm. I don't remember ever being so warm and comfortable before on a camping trip. My only complaints (and they are very minor), is that the opening of the bag is very wide, and the drawstring isn't quite good enough to enclose it, so you can let some heat out. I also suspect that the sleeping bag was designed to be used in a swag, so the compression straps and storage bag are pretty cheap and I don't expect them to last that long. I plan to upgrade to an aftermarket compression bag soon. The zips on the sleeping bag are excellent and don't snag. The fleece lining is very inviting and comfortable, and everything smacks of high quality and good attention to detail. I'm extremely pleased with my Rivergum XL sleeping bag. I shopped around, and Snowy's was the cheapest, and their service was as good as it gets. Two days delivery, packed well, and with full tracking. You cannot ask for anything more.

Superb and very happy!
