Coleman Heritage Big and Tall 10-Degree Flannel Sleeping Bag
An XL sleeping bag sized for tall adults who have always been cramped in standard bags. Flannel lining and 10-degree rating for cold nights.
- Consider if you are over 6 feet tall and struggle to fit in standard-length sleeping bags
- 10-degree rating handles cold camping conditions for tall campers
- Flannel lining is softer and more comfortable than nylon for car camping
Best For / Not For
Best for
- Tall adults (over 6 feet) who are cramped in standard sleeping bags
- Car campers who want a comfortable, roomy bag for cold nights
- Anyone who values flannel lining comfort over packability
Not for
- Average-height buyers who do not need the XL length
- Backpackers -- this bag is too heavy and bulky for trail use
- Buyers who want the TETON's machine washability (Coleman recommends gentle cycle)
Key Details
What Makes It Stand Out
The XL length is the Coleman Heritage's entire value proposition. Most sleeping bags are designed for adults up to about 6 feet tall. Taller buyers have lived with feet cramped against the footbox, restricted movement, and drafts from shifting out of alignment with the zipper. This bag eliminates that problem.
The flannel lining is also a genuine comfort upgrade over nylon for car camping use. Car campers do not need the weight savings of technical fabrics, and flannel is warmer against bare skin and more pleasant to sleep in.
Value
For tall campers, the value is strong -- no other option in this comparison addresses the length issue. For average-height buyers, the TETON Celsius is a better deal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- XL size fits adults up to 6 feet 7 inches
- 10-degree Fahrenheit rating for cold-weather camping
- Flannel lining is noticeably softer than nylon alternatives
- Machine washable on gentle cycle
Cons
- Heavy and bulky -- not suitable for backpacking
- Rectangular shape less thermally efficient than mummy designs
- Not the best value for average-height campers who do not need the XL
Bottom Line
Consider the Coleman Heritage 10-Degree if you are over 6 feet tall and standard sleeping bags are uncomfortably short. For average-height campers, the TETON Celsius is a better all-around value.
