Coleman Heritage Big & Tall 10°F Sleeping Bag vs L.L.Bean Flannel Lined Camp Sleeping Bag 0°

Buy the L.L.Bean if you want the warmer bag and a softer flannel lining; its 0°F rating beats the Coleman's 10°F, and the brushed nylon shell and 4 oz. cotton flannel are widely liked for comfort. Buy the Coleman if you want a wider, roomier cut and a lower weight for the warmth, since its Big & Tall shape is generous. Owners of the Coleman praise the warmth and room but report the real size runs smaller than advertised and some find the flannel scratchy; L.L.Bean's bag is the more refined build, though heavier in the long size.

• Choose the Coleman Heritage Big & Tall if you are a larger camper who wants an oversized rectangular bag and a lighter carry for cold-weather trips.
• Choose the L.L.Bean Flannel Lined Camp Sleeping Bag if you sleep cold and want the lower temperature rating and a plusher flannel lining.
