Z Top Rectangle Sleeping Bags

Have only used it once so far but had much better sleep with this over my old traditional sleeping bag. This bag is QUIET and very warm. I also didn't need to sleep with gloves as my hands, which have a tendency to migrate out of the bag, stayed under the z-top. Only complaint is that my dog kept making herself at home in my bag.

This sleeping bag is the best I have ever had. It is cozy and warm and comy just like my bed and down comforter. I love the roomy space as I can move around just like a real bed. The zippers are strong, smooth glide. The Z-top is removable. I put my head through the snood and I feel so cozy and comfy. The snood does not constrict your head or neck at all. I love this sleeping bag. I have it on my lodge cot.

I received my Kodak Canvas Bag last week. It’s the softest sleeping bag I have ever taken out of the packaging. It’s extremely warm and easy to Roll up! I will always travel with this Bag on my travels. I give it two Antlers Way up!!!

I’m 5’11”, 190#. I’ve always had down mummy bags. My most recent has been a Nemo 0°F squared bottom (for more leg room). I used a fleece liner because I hated the cold interior feel when I moved around in the bag. I have a bad back and tend to toss around when I sleep.

I bought this 0°F tall Z Top after coming back from a weekend of setting up elk camp, because I wanted a roomier and more comfortable bag. It was delivered within 3 days. It’s gigantic. Maybe too big, but it fits my XL Alps cot and memory foam topper quite well. I’m easily able to keep my under knee pillow in the bag too. I was able to toss around without bunching up the bag and without getting that cold feeling. Big win for me. The face thing works great. But if your buddies are like mine, they’re going to make fun of you for looking a bit like a daisy, I am super happy I bought this bag.

I have not had a chance to take it camping in the cold so I can't yet give it the 5 stars review it might deserve. I tend to toss and turn while sleeping which made other sleeping bags require a lot of frustrating middle of the night adjustments. This design solves this problem and was the main selling point for me. Solid build quality all around. I especially appreciate that outer shell material looks to be easy to repair with thread and needle as opposed to whatever the slick material most bags are made with which require iron on sticky patches. Thank you for a great product

Purchased for a Moose Hunt in Quebec. It’s perfection. Warm as all heck, wide enough for a big guy. Worth every penny!

Super comfy!

It's just what I thought it would be.
Quality all the way!

very warm and comfortable. its a bit larger than I anticipated, but i didn't go with this brand because I was trying to save space.

Coziest sleeping bag ive ever bought

I have not had a chance to use it yet as the temperatures have been in the hundreds for the past couple of weeks. The item arrived on time as promised and everything looks good.

I got the Z Top as a Christmas gift in a zero degree rating. I have been doing late October and early November camping for a few years now with temps in the 30F range at night and I have always been waking up cold at night. This April we had another camping trip where the lows at night were in the 30’s and this bag was amazing. I actually got up in the middle of the night as I was too hot and had to remove the Z Top. I even slept in just shorts and a t-shirt. The build quality is amazing and the bag’s comfort is next level. I can’t recommend this bag enough. Thanks Kodiak for solving my cold night camping problems. Buy this bag!!

I rarely leave reviews. But Z Top keeps my daughter warm. Would give SIX STARS if I could. I bought the Z Top and Booster Quilt as a present for my daughter to take on her research trip in the Yukon. She's staying in an unheated hut, and it's mid-20F at night. Unfortunately, the airline lost her luggage for 24 hours, so she had to borrow a sleeping bag the first night. She shivered most of that night. Then her luggage arrived with the Z Top, and the next night was “awesome”. She actually texted that she appreciated the Z Top more, knowing what the loaner bag was like.

We purchased 2 complete Z tops and quilts. From what we can see unused. The quality is excellent. This system is for car camping it is heavy and definitely not a backpacking set. We are excited to use it in Big Cottonwood Canyon camping. Day temps warm but temp drops fast and nights cold there. I will definitely post a review after use in June but expect a very positive review .

Pretty swanky.

Purchased one of the XL Z-Top sleeping bags for myself a couple years ago for a hunting trip and have been so impressed with the quality, I just purchased 4 more for each one of my sons. Not only does the sleeping bag keep you warm, but there is so much space to stretch out and move around in. The zipper never gets stuck, and the sleeping bag is made of quality, heavy duty material. The “Z-Top” ensures no cold air gets in around your neck and shoulders, but allows for your head to be out of the sleeping bag. My sons love to go camping, and they always fight over who gets to take my sleeping bag. Now they will all have their own, and because of the quality of the product, they will have the sleeping bags for life. Highly recommend these sleeping bags!

Honestly, the first night I slept in it, it felt pretty warm but it got down to 55 degrees. Last two nights I've been absolutely freezing. It got down to about 43 degrees, I actually had to put all my thermals on, whereas the first night I slept with just underwear. Not only did I put thermals on, I put a fleece jacket and a hat on. This is not warm enough. There's no way it's going to make it to zero degrees. I even sparked up the heater buddy a couple times. I can tell where I'm getting a lot of cold from, I sleep on a cot, and the bottom is not well insulated. I can feel the cold from the air creeping through into my body. I even have a wool blanket on top of the sleeping bag. Still cold!!! I'll try putting the wool blanket underneath the sleeping bag, but you think they would have thought of this.... We really wish I could recommend it. It's really comfortable and big and soft and warm, but there's no way it's going to make it to the advertised temperatures. Most of the reviews I watched online were people testing it out in their backyard. I didn't see anybody in the snow or actually cold climate testing it out. I wish I would have seen some of those first. Anyway, it's a great sleeping bag, but for moderate temperatures only, this is not good for cold weather camping.

First impressions of this bag were great. After actually using it in my wall tent, there are a few things I cannot stand. I absolutely hate the zipper on the left side as my setup has everything to the right of me. There should be an option to flip this. This was an afterthought for me and I did not notice in the pictures, but being given an option would have helped me realize the issue and avoid it. Second, with the zipper on the left side, the stitching on the right side comes up about 18” further that I would like. meaning, if I want to briefly sit up for a second to look at something, my pillow and bag material under are all dragged towards me making me have to basically reset everything. I toss and turn a lot so I’m constantly doing this. Instead there should be a short zipper at the top of the bag of 18”-24” on the opposite side of the main zipper so at least a guy could sit up without having to remake the bed. Third, I’m not a huge guy, and I’m not a small guy.. I’m 6’ 205lbs and the reg size bag is small in my opinion based on using competitors bags. I can’t even get my legs spread out enough to get comfortable because it feels as if my knees are bound together. Seriously, my inner thighs touch at full knee spread inside the bag. My legs stay so tightly together, that it actually makes me sweat so now I have to keep the bag unzipped and layer up on clothing which basically defeats the purpose. I have wide abnormally shoulders, and oddly enough, that section feels fine. Fourth, as others have mentioned in reviews, the zipper is ridiculously annoying. There is so much movement along the seam that the zipper is a two hand operation every inch of the way witch requires me to sit up, and as mentioned before, creates a whole separate issue. All that being said, the material is comfortable, I love the Z- top while reading, looking at a phone etc.. The bag is very warm when I’m able to keep the zipper zipped. If the above details could be resolved, I would probably buy another. Unfortunately my $100 Cabela’s bag offers a better nights rest. I do feel like this bag has all the potential in the world aside from some personal preferences of my own.

I will add that the shipping was annoying. I pay for a service like shipping, and the company basically took away my ability to track my package through FedEx because they wanted me to sign up for yet another third party tracking service.. Companies are annoying enough with asking for info since they all sell it and we get spammed so I decided not to do this basically leaving me in the dark on when my almost $900 order would be arriving to my house. Again, I paid for my tracking number through FedEx when I paid for shipping.. For the company to have that order show as cancelled on FedEx felt dishonest and annoying. Nobody wants to create another account on yet another platform just to see info we already paid for.

All in all, the bag may be great for some, just fell short for my personal needs.

This sleeping bag, with the Z Top and Booster Quilt has raised the bar on sleeping bags. Far more comfortable than a mummy bag, and a better solution for keeping your head warm. The flexibility of the quilt to be an additional bed pad or to add warmth or as a pillow...brilliant. They just need to make such that they can zip to another identical bag so that you can share body heat AND have all the benefits of the Z Top.

Great quality

When shopping for a sleeping bag I figured I would be thrilled with the Z top but its, ok. Warm down to 15 degrees, not quite 0. The outside shell and zipper are top notch. The design is great, It just really needs better flannel and quilting. Do you have a nice thick flannel that’s going on a decade and just won’t wear out? Well that’s not what you will find here. Cheap flannel lining, pilling, quite disappointing. A good flannel lining would probably make 0 degree for sure and it won’t pill. Also, the liner has to be sown to the shell, better quilting, that way when you roll over for a new sleeping position the liner stays with the shell instead of wrapping around you. Also, better quilting would keep the insulating a layer flat and not bunch up creating a lumpy sleeping surface. As long as I don’t move at night, I will sleep great in the Z Top until the pilling starts to scratch. I have used this bag about 50 nights this last winter.

I’ve always wanted a great quality canvas bag! The Kodiak bag checks all the boxes for me.

Really nice bag. Great materials and construction. The poncho-like attachment is really smart. Very warm. I do wish that they offered the option of having the zipper on either side. I'm a side sleeper and if you sleep on your right side, the zipper side is behind you. Harder to manage your temperature when you can't stick a leg out or have the zipper easily accessible in front of yourself. I'll manage.

I’m 6’5” 240, got the XL and had room to move around. Very warm and comfortable. Make sure to cut tags and do not rip them off, I tore through the seam ripping a tag off 🙃

It's very warm and comfortable. I would recommend it to everyone

I like to camp during the winter months here in Pennsylvania. This sleeping bag is phenomenally warm. I've only used it in temperatures down to 15⁰, and I was warm and cozy even for sleeping on a raised cot. Packed up size is much larger and heavier than a mummy bag, but this thing is a beast and the lining is very soft. Highly recommend this bag for its warmth and comfort, nice quality.
