North Face Hotlum Sleeping Regular

So you desire to be warm this winter… and you’ve heard parkas are hot even in arctic temperatures… but what’s a parka? Originally, parkas had been worn by the Inuit and other Arctic peoples. The regular parka layout is genuinely “a pullover model outer garment built from caribou skin having a fur lining around the hood”. The notion being that if animals could stay warm, people could put on their skins and stay hot also, even in in all probability the most inhospitable conditions.

The fashionable parka jacket is built from synthetic resources and zips up the entrance for closure. Down-filled parkas are presently the norm, but synthetic fills may also be fabulously warm and more animal friendly for you vegans out there. Basically, parka jacket style has remained the same together with the exception of front zip closure, along with the use of breathable, fast-wicking water-proof outer materials. Inuit humans today now hardly ever don the classic caribou skin parkas in favor of the innovative equivalent.

It might be a bit mixing up to navigate the wide range of parka jackets that have adopted the name “parka”. Parka has been adopted by firms like North Encounter and Bugaboo (and others) to fundamentally mean “super warm thigh-length jacket with a hood!”. Even so, if it’s a true parka you desire, it doesn’t get any much better than the Canada Goose Expedition Parka, one of the best made garments you will ever own. Growing up in Canada, and having endured hundreds of minus thirty degree wintertime days, there merely no other jacket I would ever want hanging in my closet for cold days.

Nice product do not buy if you’re planning on backpacking
By youtoo
I bought this bag and took it out backpacking at White Sands National Monument in NM in Jan. A winter storm hit the day before I left and it was COLD out there. I’m not sure of the exact temperature, but I know that it was either high teens or low 20s. My waterbottle and my dog’s water bowl both completely froze throughout as did the condensation on the outside of my tent, and my car was a big ice block when I got back to it in the morning. The bag actually did pretty well. I pulled the face hole as tight as I could and just cuddled down inside the bag without sticking my face out (it was too cold if I put my face out). I have Raynaud’s disease and my hands/nailbeds often are very cold and turn blue in cold weather from poor circulation, but they were nice and warm inside the bag without extra gloves on. I was impressed by that. Overall I was ok, but not as warm and comfortable as I would have been at home in my own bed of course. It did it’s job and kept my appendages warm enough and me alive in what could have been hypothermia conditions without the proper gear. My only real gripe about this bag is that it is huge when it’s rolled up. It’s too big to fit into the sleeping bag compartment of my NorthFace backpacking pack (so I imagine it’s too big for any), and it takes up a very large portion of the pack when stuffed in the only way it will fit. Due to this reason I wish I would have gotten a different bag. It would be great for anyone who is just setting up their tent right next to their car, but not the best choice for a backpacker.

Keeps warm at a reasonable price
By Andrew M. Gore
I received this bag the day of an over-night “Cold Camp” adventure. I had fears as in the previous year, my prior bag was not up to the single digit temperature task of keeping me warm. Much to my delight as this bag arrived at my work, I found that it was plush, fabric felt nice, and had a good weight to it. I understood that with the lower price of this bag, I wouldn’t be getting a 0 degree bag that was as light or as small as my summer bag, and accepted these “issues”. After opening the included Coleman carry bag, I knew that it would be a treat to get the bag back in there. Do yourself a favor and pick up a medium sized Compression Sack. This will make travel for you and the bag MUCH easier.

The bag was put to the test that night as the temps dropped rapidly from the teens to the single digits. I was fearful throughout the evening as we cooked our hot dogs and brats. I saw the Coleman North Rim bag sitting beneath my lean-to tarp shelter. I feared how cold it would get, but alas around midnight, as everyone made the slow move to their bags, I hopped in and immediately felt wonderfully comfortable. My chest, head, and feet (as soon as damp socks were removed) warmed up in short order. I couldn’t have asked for more. A huge bonus is the bag has a “curtain” that adds some extra insulation between your head and shoulder area. It acted a bit like a pillow for me, and aided in keeping me toasty warm.

Stats on evening:
Bag: Coleman North Rim 0-Degree Mummy
Sleeping Pad: Big Agnes Insulated air core
Tent: NA (Open air lean-to)
Fire: Nice hot coals approximately 6+ feet away
Temperature: 5 degrees Fahrenheit
Wore synthetic long underwear and sweatshirt in sleeping bag.

I can not comment on longevity of this sleeping bag. Been used once, but feel it will last.

Fine all season sleeping bag…for base camp use.
By Peter Piper
First thing, my thanks to others here who took the time to write a review on this product. Those reviews were a big help to me in deciding whether it suited my needs.

As others have said, this isn’t a good sleeping bag for backpacking, too bulky. But for people like me, who mostly set up camp near their car/truck, this sleeping bag is a fine choice.

When used in combination with a insulated sleeping pad (I have a Thermorest), the bag can be unzipped and used like a comforter, unless the weather is very cold. Having a big “sock” for the feet makes it easier to stay under the covers. The insulated head cover can be employed in the same way, keeping the head warm while anchoring the covers too. I’ve now slept under this new bag for four(4) nights, in the way I described, under mild temperatures. It’s been very pleasant, the insulation returning my body heat comfortably. I have confidence that this bag would provide sufficient reflective warmth to below 20 degrees, at least.

One note: My new bag needed about twenty-four hours to air out the chemical aromas that were present. So plan on unzipping it and hanging it up for at least half a day, prior to sleeping in it for the first time.
