A tale of two sleeping bag liners!
This review is a comparison between two fleece sleeping bags, the Coleman Stratus Sleeping Bag Coleman Stratus Sleeping Bag (Colors Vary), and the SE B17566 Red Winter Sleeping Bag Liner SE BI7566 Red Winter Sleeping Bag Liner / Summer Lightweight Bag. The Coleman sleeping bag that I received is green.
My mom wanted fleece sleeping bags for an upcoming family reunion, and she asked me to research the different options to figure out which would be the best. I bought one of each sleeping bag initially so that I could compare them side by side.
The fleece sleeping bags really are not comparable at all.
SE BI7566 Red Winter Sleeping Bag Liner:
• made of very thin fleece (I could see my hand through the fleece)
• inferior zipper
• not nearly as thick as the Coleman fleece sleeping bag
Coleman Stratus Sleeping Bag:
• made of much thicker fleece (I could not see my hand through the fleece)
• ZipPlow zipper for snag-free zipping and unzipping
• much, MUCH thicker than the SE BI7566 Red Winter Sleeping Bag Liner
I was so impressed with the Coleman sleeping bag liner (as was my mom), that she had me order 6 more. At the time that I bought them, they were only a few dollars more than the very inferior SE BI7566 Red Winter Sleeping Bag Liner. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money to buy the Coleman sleeping bag liner - it's infinitely better!
