All Coleman sleeping bags are designed with ComfortSmart technology to keep you comfortable. The Colossals ComfortSmart features include: ZipPlow which plows fabric away from the zipper to prevent snags, Comfort Cuff which surrounds your face with softness, Roll Control which locks the bag in place for easier rolling, Fiberlock which prevents insulation from shifting and increases durability, Thermlock which reduces heat loss through the zipper thereby keeping you warmer, Zipper Glide tailoring which allows smooth zipper operation around the corner, and the WrapNRoll carrier which is attached so packing is easy.

For a 3 season sleeping bag it is best to buy for cold. Its a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. Thats why its smart to buy a bag thats rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than 10.

For the summer, fall and spring months you can enjoy camping in one type of bag, a 3 season sleeping bag! Usually rated to withstand temperatures as low as freezing, these bags will protect you from cold nights while still being able to enjoy the beauty of changing colors and falling leaves in Autumn or the fresh tranquility of watching blossoms dot the tree limbs in Spring. 3 season sleeping bags can help you enjoy all of nature’s comforts, comfortably!

Now you have to decide the type of 3 season sleeping bag to get buy. You thought they were all the same? Oh no, you have some definite choices to make. Firstly, if you wish to get even more bang for your buck try a synthetic 3 season sleeping bag instead of a goose down sleeping bag, they also dry out quickly if they get wet and are far less expensive than traditional bags. Not all things about synthetic sleeping bags are great though. There are many factors that make choosing them a tough call.

A synthetic 3 season sleeping bag, although less costly to you, is more costly to the environment. The name gives away the fact that they are not, in fact, natural. Commonly a PrimaLoft filler is used. There is also the fact that a synthetic 3 season sleeping bag tends to weigh more and take up more space. Their design prevents compatibility and they also tend to keep you less warm than a traditional bag, most only covering down to around 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

A good down sleeping bag is the most common pick for people who are not planning on water related activities with their 3 season sleeping bag. The extra cost is made up for in their easy storage and comfortability. Many down camping sleeping bags can insulate down to around 15 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Being a more popular choice, they are also found in more colors and a wider assortment of sizes, from children sizes up to your hefty plus size campers. The choice of which 3 season sleeping bag to buy seems to boil down to what you are most comfortable with and the type of camping experience you are expecting.
