Slumberjack Telluride Sleeping Bag Review

Slumberjack Telluride Sleeping Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have one of these for a while and have used it about 4-5 times. I've taken it on a kayak camping trip, and other tent camping trips. The small size makes it ideal if you have limited space for gear.
I have rated this 3 stars because it is very difficult to pack into the provided compression bag. My bag has holes torn in it, and last time I packed up the sleeping bag the draw-string at the top broke. I am now looking for a replacement compression pack.

I rate this sleeping bag 5 stars, but the compression pack gets 1 star.

Slumberjack Big Cot Review

Slumberjack Big Cot

When I first used this cot it seemed excellent. The frame is very sturdy and the cot was comfortable. If I had written a review at that point I would have given it 5 stars. But the second trip I took the cover burst like a balloon. Really, I could feel it give a little, and by the time I could get off it there was a 4 foot long rip. It was then I started looking closely at the material of the cover - it is some rubberized material with a few threads in it - not a real canvas. And it has zero rip-stop capability. I tried to sew it but it was like trying to sew a balloon - it just doesn't work. The Slumberjack people say they will give me a new cover, but they never seem to have one in stock to send (for 4 months?). Only get this cot if you plan on using it once! My previous cot lasted 8 years.

Update Oct. 2009: The Slumberjack folks were bought out by another company which may explain the difficulty getting a new cover during the crossover. With the new owners I was sent the promised cover [actually, they sent me 2 covers.] Used it one month long trip with no problem yet. We will see how it lasts next year.

Slumberjack Big XL Cot Review

Slumberjack Big XL Cot

The Slumberjack arrived on my door tonight and I tried to set it up in my tiny living room and ended up having to move furniture!The size is fantastic, it has plenty of room to sleep and flop around without rolling over the support bars.When laying on it the size feels more like a twin bed than a camp cot.

Pay attention to the fact that it is TALL. The description clearly states the height, but at 5'5" my feet don't touch the ground when sitting on the cot so getting out of it will be a comical event.If you are tall this shouldn't be a problem, but if you're in the Hobbit height category (like me) take heed.

The cot is heavy and while it comes with a sturdy case with shoulder strap it isn't the option for long treks into the woods.It also requires some muscle to get the cot set up.The concept is simple, unfold it and feed the two end bars through the top and bottom of the cot, but actually attaching the end bars is hard.I also think the plastic hooks will not last years as long as the rest of the cot.Once the cot is put together it is sturdy and will provide an excellent sleeping experience, but it isn't designed to be set up and taken down night after night.

The quality of the cot is good and the built-in shelf under the cot will be handy for keeping things dry, tucking a book in, or (for me) keeping a ladder close.

Slumberjack Big Lux Cot Review

The Big Lux Cot with its self-inflating pad that fits in a pocket on the cot is as comfortable as sleeping at home.I am a big guy, 6' 2" and weighing between 265 and 270.On most cots, when I sleep on my back, my arms fall off the side of the cot, but not with the Big Lux.I have room for my arms.When I sleep on the ground, I use three sleeping pads and I am still not comfortable.With the Big Lux, I only needed the sleeping pad that came with it to be very comfortable.It folds up fairly small and is very sturdy, but is a bit heavy.When sleeping on it, it made almost no noise then I rolled over unlike most cots which groan with my weight.It was a great buy.
