OmniCore Designs Multi Down Hooded Rectangular Sleeping Bag (-10F Blue / 10F Red / 30F Yellow) with 4pt. Compression Stuff Sack

I was so happy with my first OmniCore mummy sleeping bag, I decided to get a rectangular version for my wife! I believe OmniCore provides a great value for its innovative design and features. I was debating between this unit or Cabela's Magnum that goes for $50 more. I am very pleased with my decision to go with OmniCore. The bag is very insulated and has a carry weight which is lighter than other comparable bags (this one is listed at 7lbs versus the 14lbs for Cabela's). Additionally, this comes with a compression sack which comes very handy, Another cool feature is the integrated sleeping pad sleeve which other bags do not offer at this price point. After doing some research on OmniCore, I noticed that they offer other sleeping bags for different rated temperatures. The color of the bag indicates the rated temp. This one is a blue color and is rated at -10F. Small design features like this proves that OmniCore put a lot of thought into their design!

I put the OmniCore Sleeping bag to the test this weekend at 10,600ft in the High Sierra's Trout Season Opener, . Inside a three man, 4 season tent and slept on a 6" Air Mattress. Temperatures dipped down to the high teens.Pros - Very Roomy, Comfortable. Easy pull on zippers and Large head cover, relatively light and Easy to put in a stuff sack.Cons - Zippers are very smooth but tend to slide open at night. Would be nice to have a Velcro strap to prevent zippers from opening. Slept in medium thermals, at 4am my thermometer inside my tent read 19-20 degrees and I was chilly inside the bag. Especially chilly around the feet area. Survivable but Not sure if this bag is rated for a true -10 degrees below zero..

I needed a good cold weather sleeping bag for a Scout camping trip and saw the OmniCore was at a reasonable price. It has features galore to make your experience great. I love the slot in back for my sleeping pad. It fit perfectly and kept me from sliding off of it. Also, my camp pillow stayed in the hood perfectly without falling out. I’m a pretty big guy at 315lbs, but I fit comfortably inside and had no trouble zipping it all the way up. This is normally a problem with most bags. I also stayed fairly warm in 32 degree weather. This is a great sleeping bag for the xxl guy, or anyone who likes warmth on cold nights camping.

Not sure this bag can keep anyone warm at temperatures below 10 degrees, let alone -10 degrees.I expected it to be fluffier/ thicker for a -10 degree bag. Have used the bag at 35 degrees for several days now with only shocks on. Any colder and I will have to put on my cold weather sleeping clothes.Another pit fall is the zippers, they need some kind of velcro to keep them closed. I’ve have another bag that has this feature. Roll back and forth and they open. I modified the bag myself with some heavy duty self adhesive Velcro. See photos.Because this bag has a lot of other good features I like, I am going to keep it.

First off I’m reviewing the 30* bag. I was able to spend a week trying out this bag. I normally run hot so this bag was fine for me but I wouldn’t rate this as a 30* bag I’d say it’s more of a 40-45 degree bag. I really like the hood on the top of the bag it holds my normal pillow from home and keeps it from falling out. I wish there was a drawstring in the hood like other mfg’s do. The pillow pocket sewn into the bag is to small for a normal household size pillow so it’s worthless unless you are using a travel pillow.The bag is plenty big to move around without restriction even for xxl people.As others have said I wish the zippers had Velcro to keep them from opening also I didn’t care for the short zipper on the left side of the bag I wish it was full length or at least another foot longer.The extra length of the top of the bag you can use to tuck like a blanket was great, probably my favorite part of this bag.The pocket for the sleeping pad is one of the main reasons why I bought this bag. It fits a 25” pad perfectly but I didn’t like how the bag was much wider and my arms would lay on the ground so I went overkill and bought a 30” thermarest mondoking xxl pad. This pad didn’t fit the pockets very well at all. But I was able to tuck the top in and use a strap with an extension in the middle to make it work. It’s so nice to have a bag that stays put while you toss and turn! I bought 2 other bags to compare with my needs and this one won out compared to name brand bags so if you’re on the fence just buy this one. It’s not perfect but it’s a good value for your money.

Review for +10° Bag: Pockets up top, pockets down low. Pocket for your pillow! Strap & pockets on back for your air pad!Super spacious for me 5'8" 190lbs.I like the wide hood & small mesh pockets in the top, 3 larger zip pockets outside at the bottom which you can also vent open partially or fully.I have an ultralight down bag (Aegismax tapered rectangle) that does pack tiny but it's really only good for warm weather. This thing is so warm & with plenty of room to stuff the ultralight bag inside as additional insulation if necessary. Has lots of down tho, very comfy.The only bad thing so far is the 14" zipper on the short (left) side to get in. It comes detached at the bottom (near your left elbow, & is about impossible to put together in the dark. It's a double zipper (you could wear this with arms & feet out if you want, which is the only reason I can think they'd put the double zip on this side) It seems really unnecessary & is entirely infuriating. Will probably try to sew it.It's not super small or light but it isn't bulky or heavy either, I would say it's just right, well made & at a great price!

Apparently we have missed return window. Unfortunately we just now used them for the first time! Froze our butts off & it was only 35 degrees, supposed to be for 10 I believe! Not very happy had such high expectations! Loved the feel of the bag but did not keep us warm! I’m very sorry we can’t return them!!!After posting this I talked with omnicore and Amazon and I am getting a refund. Omnicore representative explained how they rate them and it's sad because it's not a very good system. Amazon and Omnicore were very willing to help me so thank you for that.
