Overview
Cold nights at a campsite are the setting for the Coleman Big Basin, a rectangular bag cut for taller sleepers. Coletherm insulation retains heat, and a ZipPlow zipper is designed to resist snagging on the fabric.
A roomy rectangular cut and a cold rating suit larger campers who find standard bags too short. The limitation is the contradictory data: the listing shows two-person occupancy and an all-seasons label next to a cold-weather rating, and the thermal resistance value does not sit comfortably with it.
Who it's for
A large or tall sleeper car camping in cool weather, who wants room to turn over inside a rectangular shell. Ultralight hikers, and couples hoping to share, should look at other designs.
Pros and cons
- Big and tall cut
- Five year limited warranty
- Heavy for backpacking
- Occupancy row says two persons
- Season label conflicts with rating
- Thermal resistance figure looks odd
Performance notes
Insulation traps body heat in the polyester fill, and the Coletherm treatment is described as improving retention. A rectangular shape leaves room inside, which helps a taller sleeper but can leave extra air to warm. Real comfort depends on the sleeping pad under the bag, since ground contact removes heat quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Coleman Big Basin a double sleeping bag?
The occupancy row says 2 person, but the title and highlights describe a big and tall bag for sleepers up to 6 ft 6 in. The listing gives no width, so do not assume it fits two.
Is the Coleman Big Basin a summer bag?
No. It is rated for 15 F cold weather, although the seasons row says all seasons. The rating is the figure to trust.
Can I wash the Coleman Big Basin sleeping bag?
Yes. The title says machine washable.
