 Good all-purpose scout bag for priceNov 11, 2009
By dave h
Like others have said, the current Crescent 15 Degree F bag being sold is a medium-dark blue and charcoal color, not lime green and charcoal as pictured. The blue panels are diamond-rip stop polyester taffeta, and the charcoal parts do not appear to be rip-stop. It's filled with 2 lbs 14 oz of "Coletherm" hollow core poly fill insulation. The net pack weight (the bag in the stuff sack) is just over 4 lbs. I bought two, and one weighed 4 lb 0.5 oz and the other 4 lb 1.8 oz on a postal scale. The stuff sack weights 2.5 oz, so the sleeping bag alone weighs just under 4 lbs, which is a good rule-of-thumb maximum limit for a sleeping bag to take backpacking.
It easily can keep you comfortable down to the 15 degree F rating. This bag is very compressible for it's loft. The size in the included stuff sack is 10" diameter and 14" long, which most people will find to be an odd size for backpacking. However, it will fit (stuffed) into 1100-1200 cubic inch backpack compartments. It easily fits in an 9" x 24" compression sack (not included) and squeezes down to approx. 9" x 17" pack size if you want to attach it outside your pack.
For the price/weight, this bag is a great buy for both general camping and light-to-medium backpacking for 3-season use by Boy Scouts. Although it is true you can get goose-down bags for the same temperature range that are about 1 lb lighter and more compressible for hard-core backpacking, I'm generally opposed to down bags for Boy Scouts for several reasons: a. down is outrageously expensive, especially given the likelihood of some rough treatment and short lifespan, b. a down bag is useless if it gets wet, and c. they require special cleaning or special soap for home washing.
My only complaints are that the shell isn't 100% rip-stop material, and the included stuff sack is an odd size, but at a price around 40 bucks, both can be forgiven.

Not the bag I ordered, but as luck would have it...Sep 01, 2009
By Michael Green

Backpacking on the cheap, that's how I roll. No, really I am basically a beginner on a tight budget so I'm on the prowl for deals. I scoured Amazon and I settled for this Coleman Crescent bag, because well, Coleman is a name I've trusted for years, I'd never heard of the other brands, and I really didn't know exactly what I was looking for. Not long after I ordered the bag I realized it was supposedly for "tall" people, which I certainly am not. Then after talking to my Uncle who has been backpacking for 20+ years, I started to worry about the 5.2 pound listed weight of the bag. All my fears were for naught though because when the bag arrived I immediately saw that it wasn't the same bag. Yes, it was a Coleman Crescent, but it was blue with a completely different design on the front, it was normal sized, and it weighed less then 2.5 pounds. It easily fit into the stuff sack and fit perfectly into my 35.00$ Cuscus Backpack. I will warn you however that this bag looks like it will only fit into bigger packs, as in 85 litres and higher...Needless to say I spent the entire month of August humping this bag into the mountains up here in the great white north of Washington State.. It probably only dipped into the low 40's or high 30's at the lowest, but I was so hot some nights I had to strip off thermals in the middle of the night. As a matter of fact, every single time ive used this bag I had to partially unzip it because I woke up in the night too hot.
So to recap... (1)The bag isn't too expensive. (2)The bag they send you is better then the bag described. (3) It is fairly lightweight, and should fit into or under your large pack, or easily strap onto an external frame (I've done both with it). (4)It keeps you warm at night.
Winter is around the corner so I should test the 15 degree rating as I backpack deep into fall, but I'm guessing it will do alright. The only knock I have is that there isn't any room to move your legs. I know it's a mummy bag and all, but dang, the legs are a little too snug. Up next, get rid of my 40.00$ 4-man dome tent that I'm packing in everywhere.

 Good Bag, Large SizeOct 05, 2009
By A. Barnard
This bag is great - not the same color as in the photo, but extremely warm and comfortable, nonetheless! If you're looking for a compact, small bag to stuff into a backpack for hiking, this is not the one. It's not 'large' by any means, but there are so many bags (largely down not synthetic) that can be stuffed into the size of two nalgene bottles rather than the size of a two pillows. If you're just using it for car camping, it's a great buy! Seems it's only sold on Amazon and other online stores, though, so if you needed to exchange it elsewhere, you won't have much luck.

Warm enough for snow campingApr 07, 2011
By S. Emery
I purchased two of these specifically for a snow camping trip my son and I were planning. For the previous year's snow camping trip we rented "zero degree" bags from a local sporting goods store. Unfortunately, I found that the "zero degree" rating on most bags is more of a marketing term with little or no standards for that rating nor consistency between manufacturers. So we were both quite cold with those rented bags last year.
Even though this bag is rated at 15F it worked better than the zero degree bags we rented last year. We both slept in snow caves, so the temperature was a fairly consistent 32F, and we were both nice and warm. I'm 5'9" 160lbs and the bag was plenty large. As others have said, the color is not what is shown. This is not a backpacking bag, due to its size and weight, but it does make for a very good cold weather bag. And the price is great, especially when compared to renting. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.
The only downside is the stuff sack. It is not constructed very well. I would recommend buying another stuff sack if you are going to be using this bag a lot. The flap on the top of one sack tore off on the first use, which then prevented the draw string from working properly.

Excellent lightweight bagMay 19, 2010
By Armyguy71
"armyguy71"
I was in the Army for 12 years. We had a new sleeping bag system that came out a few years before I got out. It was a 5 part system and really quite comfortable and adaptable for different seasons/temps. I always regretted not buying one before I got out. This sleeping bag took care of that. It is made of the same ripstop material, it is lightweight and comfortable. My first time to put it to use was a spring night in Okla in April. The day was decently warm (70's) but unbeknownst to me we had a cold front come in that night. It dipped into the low 40s that night. The wind woke me up a few times but not once was I cold or uncomfortable. The next morning I heard from my friends in the other tent about how cold they had gotten that night. Definitely a good bag.. recommend getting an inflatable or sleeping pad to add more cushion between you and the ground but no worries about being too cold. It also fully encloses around your face so no need to worry about bugs or snakes trying to get in and snuggle with you!
