Teton Sports Mammoth 0-Degree Sleeping Bag

Product Description

The Mammoth is the perfect bag for any family outing. Whether you're going for a weekend at the lake or your in-laws are staying over, the Mammoth is comfortable enough for two (maybe three or four if you have young children). Stash your personal items in the interior storage pocket for safe keeping, and pull the adjustable mummy hood down tight for extra warmth. There are also shoulder and zipper baffles to fight drafts. The oxford nylon compression sack makes this monster bag easy to transport and store. The bag is great for couples and families because of the full length zippers on both sides so you can exit the bag without disturbing your partner. The internal storage pockets on both sides for keys, wallet, watch and other valuables

Excellent product. Me and my wife loved it. Very warm and soft interior.I am 6'4" tall and there was plenty of room. Kept us warm on a wet cold weekend in the San Juan mountains in May at 9500'.

I recently used this sleeping bag on a three day camping trip with my wife for our first anniversary. When we first got it I opened it at the house and was thrilled with the size! It is huge!!! We threw it on our queen size bed to check out the dimensions. It's about as wide as a queen size bed and a little bit longer than one. It's got a lot of room inside and plenty of space for people over six foot!
The built in pillow is a great feature! It's padded pretty nicely but when we slept we also used a small pillow. There are two drawstrings around the opening so that you can close it tight for those especially cold nights. We had to do that a few times and it made a big difference in keeping the cold out and the heat in.
The inside of the sleeping bag is so soft and extremely comfortable! It's a cotton flannel interior with a ton of padding so it's soft to sleep on and a fantastic insulator. The heat from your body will warm up the inside in a matter of minutes!
The exterior is a pretty solid material so you don't have to worry about it ripping on you. I was very impressed with it as I compared it to my old sleeping bag which had a very thin outer layer.
This sleeping bag has two zippers-one on each side. I love that because you or your partner can exit without disturbing the other. It also helps if you get too hot inside because you can unzip both sides and fold the top back however far you'd like.
We camped in the Monarch Mountains in Montana and it got down to about twenty degrees at night. We stayed very warm inside and it even got a little too warm at times. This bag is truly designed for 0 degree weather!
When it came time to put it away my wife and I had no trouble getting it back into its compression sack. With two people it isn't difficult but one person alone will have a harder time. Just fold it in half and slowly but tightly roll it from end to end. It's a snug fit but goes in fine that way.
I would recommend this sleeping bag to anyone that does cold weather camping and is looking for a bag large enough for two people. This may be too large for one person alone unless you're hoping for a lot of extra room. All in all-GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Received the bag on time - gonna try it in the colorado mountains (around 10K feet) this weekend (Memorial day 2009). Weather is to be cooler (about 30 deg F in the mornings) so we'll see how it works. It has plenty of space, very soft inside, feels warm in the "inside house" test. It completely filled the stuff sack it came in - so my only concern is how to get it back in there! I'll find out this evening... It is large even in the stuff sack, yet expectedly so as to it's intended size... First impressions - very nice! I gave it 4 stars as I haven't used it yet....

This review is incomplete (thus only 4 stars) as I haven't used the bag for it's intended use yet. But, I have no doubts it will perform as anticipated. Being a lrge person, I have difficulty sleeping in a standard size bag. This bag has plenty of room to sprawl out in and I have no doubts that it will keep me plenty warm when camping.

It's not for backpacking; way too big and heavy for any trekking. But for car camping (bike camping in my case) it fit's the bill perfectly. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice large bag. Even being large (6'3" 250ish), I probably could share the bag and still be comfortable.

This is a great bag! I took it camping with my son's Boy Scout troop. There were three of us in it. My son 12, son 5 and me. While none of us are big people we were fine.

In other reviews many people mentioned that the bag was impossible to get into the cover for the bag, I did it! Most likely it was because I was trying to get it into a secondary cover for a single person sleeping bag that we took, just in case needed. So when I got this bag halfway into a one person sleeping bag case and realized the error, after many expletives, I was easily able to place this large bag into it's correct cover with some humor.

Hope this helps!

We used our brand new Mammoth 0 Degree Double Sleeping Bag a few weeks back on a 3 day car camping trip in North Georgia's Cloudland Canyon
and loved it! Very roomy, very good to the naked body and provided necessary warmth on very cool evenings. I rated it 4 as the double sided zippers were a bit hard to zip up each night and each morning found the bag unzipped to half length down upon waking. Now perhaps it was an unknown sleeping person unzipping the bag to allow some cool air in during the night but never remembered doing so! We are fairly restless sleepers with many position changes to sleep on back, each side, flip etc as the back needed relief from our poor brand new queen size Beauty Rest 18" air mattress, that need pumping up each day. (another review!) The main thing is it was roomy as promised, that we enjoyed the provided warmth it provided and we wanted. I would recommend buying this bag! No regrets! Camping in GA.

The bag is very comfortable and roomy for two. My wife is 5'7' and I am 6'3',love the extra length. We had two alike bags that zipped together before. The downside,the bag is verrry difficult to get in the case,and a little slippery on the air bed.

This sleeping bag is sooo great! Its big enough for my husband, myself and our child who is a terror in bed! We were sooo warm! We finally got some sleep camping, instead of shivering the whole night! Excellent product and super comfy lining as well! I would totally buy it all over agian!

This bag has been great! Although it is a little bulky in size, it's very warm and comfortable. I would recomend this bag to any couple that does light camping.

The Teton Sports Mammoth 0-Degree sleeping bag is a great over-size bag for the money. The quality of construction is great, and when I used it in 35 degree F temperatures with another person it is very comfortable (in the desert, not sure how well it will perform in a humid environment). The bag also comes in a very well built sack with adjusting straps.
The picture on Amazon of it with three people in it however is a little misleading, in that picture it truly appears massive, but I would say two adults fit well in it, but adding any more bodies than that may get crowded. Also, I am 6'-4" feet tall and I would say this bag will be long enough for someone as tall as 6'-7".
