So the good stuff: The bag’s stitching seems to be well done, the material seems sturdy and the zippers and cords pull and function well. I’ve not been able to test the bag extensively outside yet, but I did take about a two hour nap in my hammock in rainy mid 40s weather (using a sleeping pad but no under quilt) and was comfortable. I was wearing socks, a pair of jeans and a light long sleeve shirt. The bag lacks a draft collar around the top and zipper, so I’m not sure how much past the low 40s it could be pushed without being a little uncomfortable, but that would be beyond the bags intended purpose anyway, so I don’t consider that a problem.
I did some testing of the water resistance (see the video), and it indeed does a fine job keeping light water out. I allowed it to pool up and sit for several minutes and the inside stayed dry. This will keep things like spilling some water on yourself at night from becoming a cold mistake.
The bag fully unzips into a blanket (this was the primary reason I wanted it). Being able to do so gives a lot of flexibility in use (esp. if you’re in a hammock). This is something that a lot of more modern mummy bags are not great at.
To note, this is a very narrow bag in terms of a rectangle sleeping bag. Much more on par with the width of a mummy bag. I consider this to be a great thing, as most rectangle bags are very wide. That extra width decreases the overall warmth of the bag. The ECOOPRO bag is narrow enough that there is no wasted space (I’m about 5’9” and around 160 lbs), and thus the bag warms up quicker from your body heat.
While I consider the narrow width a plus, if you’re looking for a very wide bag, this one may not fit your needs. If however you want a space efficient, narrow line bag , that is more traditionally shaped (rectangle so it can easily double as a camp blanket) at a price that is half what you’d pay for even an entry level “brand name” down bag, this one is worth looking at.
