(More customer reviews)I've always been bothered by my head being outside of the sleeping bag on whatever surface is above it - pillow, air mat, tent floor, etc. For that reason I thought these "Scoop" bags by Coleman would perfectly solve the problem. I first tried the Calgary version, which was WAY too short for me. See my review on that product. The Sabine came out and was bigger, and seemed like it would do the job, so I tried it. It's definitely better, but still not great.
The issue is that to get the "scoop" at the top of the bag Coleman essentially just cut part of the top of the bag off, so the top of the bag is actually shorter than you would find on a comparable rectangle bag. As a result, for those of us who are taller, the bag isn't quite long enough. I'm almost 6', and it comes about up to my chin while laying on my back. If I sleep on my stomach with my toes out, it's actually a little short--just to my shoulders. On top of that there isn't a way to pull the opening tight (no drawstring) so a lot of cold air gets in.
A few other points:
* the material is very comfortable. If you are shorter it would probably be great.
* the workmanship seems good
* Unlike Coleman's rectangular bags, this bag doesn't have an integrated cover. You have to be careful where you set it or it will get dirty.
* the weight and size seem good in comparison to its warmth.
Lastly, I just bought my wife the Coleman Castle Peak sleeping bag, which is essentially the same except it has the regular square top and it has an integrated cover. It's also cheaper. I'd really recommend that instead.
