Rivergum XL Sleeping Bag

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.

2/7/19 Update - Just a heads up, we now have the option to select this from the drop down menu when you add it to the bag.
