Amazon Basics 30°F Cool Weather review
Best for: Cool spring and fall car-camping nights for one adult
A plain 75 x 33 in rectangular bag with hollow-fiber fill and a 30°F claim; Amazon gives no ISO comfort or limit figure.
A rectangular bag with hollow-fiber polyester insulation, a polyester shell and a tricot liner. Webbing along the zipper keeps it from snagging, and the bag unzips flat into a quilt. It is 75 x 33 in, which Amazon says fits sleepers up to 6 ft 3 in, and it comes with a stuff sack. The 30°F figure is Amazon's own; no ISO/EN rating is published.
Good
- Opens flat into a quilt
- Anti-snag webbing along the zipper
- Fits sleepers up to 6 ft 3 in
Watch for
- No ISO/EN rating; 30°F is Amazon's own figure
- The listing gives two different weights

Best for: Summer and early-fall car camping for one sleeper up to 5 ft 11 in
A simple, washable rectangular bag for mild nights; 30°F is the low end of Coleman's own 30-50°F range, not an ISO comfort rating.
The Palmetto is a rectangular Coleman bag with a polyester cover, a tricot fiber-blend liner, a Thermolock draft tube along the zipper and a two-way no-snag zipper. It zips to a second bag, the foot unzips for venting, and it is machine washable. Coleman markets it for 30-50°F and publishes no ISO/EN comfort or limit figure.
Good
- Two-way no-snag zipper with a Thermolock draft tube behind it
- Zips to a second bag for a shared double; the foot unzips to vent
- Machine washable at home
Watch for
- No ISO/EN rating; 30°F is the bottom of Coleman's own 30-50°F claim
- Standard size fits sleepers only up to 5 ft 11 in
