Product Description
Tired of squeezing into mummy-sized bags? Slip into the Celsius XL sleeping bag--an oversized model that luxuriously fits one person but also accommoda
tes two for cuddling. Campers can even attach the Celsius XL to a second bag using the left and right side zippers, thus creating a true mons
ter bag. The Celsius XL is outfit
ted with a soft cotton flannel liner filled with SuperLoft Eli
te hollow fiber insulation that keeps the cold out and the warmth in. Also present are an insulating shoulder baffle and a full-length zipper draft tube--features commonly associa
ted with more expensive bags. And though the bag is plenty warm as is (it offers a
temperature rating of 0 degrees F), campers can get even cozier by pulling down the adjustable mummy hood.
Other features include an internal storage pocket that allows easy access to your keys, wallet, and other valuables and an Oxford nylon compression sack that makes the Celsius XL easy to transport and store. The bag measures 90 inches long by 39 inches wide and weighs in at a manageable 7.5 pounds.

Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's 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.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.
Great sleeping bag, buy both the left and right and zip them togther, they work great and keep you very warm. Great product!
It's big and roomy.....If you do a lot of cold weather camping, this is the right one....It will be very warm, tho if the weather is not cold...
Barely fits in it's own stuff bag, so you'll want to get another , bigger one....and it's heavy and bulky for back packers...Still, when considering what you would pay for similar bags this is great (and did I say comfy??? It really is!) and it is a true zero degree bag!
The bag is very nice and very warm and comfortable. However, the black bag has red & black plaid lining which bleeds red onto the white PJs. I ended up returning the bag because of this particular issue. Don't know if this is a fluke or not. Because of this problem, I rate it a 4 instead of a 5 that it deserves.
Got two of these sleeping bags for myself and my grandson, Nolan, to use when his dad and his other cool grampa decided to take him on a 13th birthday hike he wouldn't forget. The four of us snowshoed and skiied through a five-foot base of powder snow to an altitute of about 10,000 feet on Colorado's Grand Mesa. Aided by Nolan's mixed breed mountain dog, Templeton, best dog in the world, we built a snow cave, outside dimensions about 16x12 feet, oval shaped, with an inside dome about 4-feet high in the center and hollowed out sleeping "rooms." After climbing a nearby summit, we returned and rolled out these sleeping bags over a "mattress" of pine boughs and thin, inexpensive ensolite pads. Outside overnight, the temperature plunged to about ten below zero, but inside the snow cave it stayed at just about the freezing mark of 32-degrees F. I was actually skeptical when I bought these bags. As as an Adirondack Winter 46er I've spent many uncomfortable nights in tents on the sides of mountains where the mercury has plunged as low as minus-42 F. Even in a very expensive goosedown bag rated to minus-30, staying comfortable is difficult in any sub-zero situation. For the money, I would rank this bag alongside almost any of the "name brands" that you would pay hundreds of dollars for. Sure it's bulkier and heavier. But you would have to go a long way to find a more fairly priced bag that will keep you warm in a snow cave down to the freezing mark. You wouldn't take it on an Everest or Denali expedition, for sure. But if you want to find out what winter camping is all about without investing a ton of money in a sleeping bag, this is the way to go. ALL winter bags are over-rate when it comes to staying warm on really, really butt-cold nights. But for the money, this bag can hardly be beat. Ideal for single-night outings on winter evenings when the bottom doesn't fall completely out of the thermometer.... I also give Amazon five stars for this particular purchase. I ordered two of the bags and had them delivered to Colorado so I wouldn't have to haul a ton of gear from NY State for just a night or two of camping. When UPS delivered one of the bags to the wrong address (a mistake discovered later), Amazon immediately shipped a replacement overnight to make up for UPS's errant delivery. The entire experience left me with a warm feeling - even in a snow cave on a sub-zero mountainside.
Tested this bag for the first time 3/6/09 in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Low temp was 45 deg F and so far it's great. The velcro tabs and drawstring around the shoulders and neck kept me tucked in all night (and I like to turn and sleep on both sides). Very satisfied and confident now for even lower temps. It was great to be awakened by birds instead of the cold and a longing for the night to be over!
I love this sleeping bag. I have plenty of room to roll over without getting all tangled up. It it extremely warm and very comfortable. Wish I would have bought it sooner!
Phenomenal sleeping bag. Kept my girlfriend super warm and she is a cold sleeper. Tempts got down into the mid 40's. I was freezing in my sleeping bag and wished I bought this Teton. Great price and wonderful value for the money.
I was so pleased with this bag! We took it on a camping trip which ended up being bitter cold that weekend. I was so glad I had that bag to sleep in. It's a little bulky but so nice and warm.
Teton Sports Celsius XL 0-Degree Sleeping Bag
This bag is warm and cozy. It is just what I was looking for. Perfect!
I first tried this sleeping bag on a car camping trip to the ocean side last week-end. I had by far the biggest/heaviest sleeping bag from all my friends! I agree with the reviews saying it is soft inside, warm, and very wide. I didn't have any problems with the zipper and liked the fact that it didn't get caught in the fabric.
One less star for the ultra-heavy weight.
