Field Notes: Mummy bag lovers giggled when they caught a glimpse of the Country Squire’s enormous canvas duffel bag that replaces the age-old stuff sack for this monstrous model. Chuckles gave way to snoring as the Country Squire is among the most comfortable sleep systems available — in or out of the campground.
Pros: Even tall testers had room to move around in this bag, perhaps with enough margin to be a 2-person sleeping bag. While we didn’t test out this theory, being surrounded by the luxurious poly cotton liner felt more like home than pioneer homestead.
Cons: This 20-degree bag weighs almost 11 pounds and chews up trunk or rooftop space. Use of 12oz Cotton Duck shell material hampers the ability to block breezes so sleeping outside is not advised unless clouds are scarce and skies are calm.
Favorite Feature: The cotton lining had testers snoozing as soon as they hit the pillow. Unbelievably comfortable, the lining can be removed and washed — a rarity in the sleeping bag market.
Bottom Line: Look no further for the ultimate car camping sleeping bag, one wrapped in 11lbs of cottony bliss.
