Hi guys, Neville here from Snowys. Here to talk today about the Roman Double Camper 400
Sleeping Bag. Great sleeping bag. Fairly large bag but can be broken down into
two singles which is a really convenient for you. Bag's quite strong. Not too
heavy. Great for car camping and four-wheel
driving. So the bag weight is around about 4.5 kilos. Dimensions -
it's around about 55 cm long and 30 cm around the girth. Bag
itself - quite solid - very very strong. It does come with compression straps so you
can pull it in and make it a bit tighter and a bit more compact depending how
good you are at rolling and folding it up. So to get the sleeping bag out of its
bag itself you can just undo the compression straps nice and easy. They
just fold it over to the sides, same with this one. Once you've got that down,
undo the pull, pop the top open like that, pull the bag out. I've already got one
set up here that I've taken out of the bag a bit earlier for you. So the
sleeping bag itself is a hoodless sleeping bag, there's no hood on it. It's
a square style so it's not mummy shaped. The material on the outside is a ripstop
polyester - very solid. Internally you've got a cotton flannelette so really
soft, really comfortable and the material - the fill inside is a hollow fibre fill so
quite breathable, very warm, holds its shape really well. So the sleeping bag is
rated to 0 degrees, so very comfortable for most conditions around Australia. The
dimensions of the bag - it's 210 long (2 meters and 10 centimeters long) and 165
wide. If you open it up completely you've got a maximum distance of 320, so your girth
is completely 320. If you want to use it as a massive blanket or doona or
something like that. So at the top here you've got a little
Velcro strap here, this covers up the zipper here to protect it. Stop it getting
snagged. You also have double anti-snag zippers as well so really really
convenient, really hard wearing, thrash those pretty hard.
You've also got at the top on both sections, you got little pull tags so you can
pull a sleeping bag in to make a little cocoon at the top. So in really cold
weather you can snuggle in really tight, keep yourself really toasty warm. So at
the base of the sleeping bag you've also got a separate foot zip, so you know if
you're getting a bit warm in your sleeping bag you can just unzip it a bit
and that'll let the air flow out, so the hot air flow out, give you a bit more
comfort - cool down the bag a little bit as well. It's completely separate to the
side zips so you can do that separate - you don't have to go all the way down the side
to do it. Also at the bottom of the bag you've got two of these loops, one there
and one on the other end. They're for hanging and storing the bag. If you want
to air it out you can use these loops, there is one on each end, just hang it by those
hangers there. So one of the main features of this bag is it can be broken
down into two single sleeping bags and I'll show you how to do this it's quite
easy ,you're literally just unzipping the entire bag so down the side, all the way
to the end. You'll find there's a double zip here that
just comes straight off the end, like that. Unzips that one. And you've got your
foot zips. If you just zip that along as well, straight along to the middle, you'll
have exactly the same feature, you've got two zips there and if you just unclick
those, they will then come off as well. You do
exactly the same on the other side to completely open the bag up.
So once you've unzipped the entire bag you can just take basically the whole
top layer off, if you want to. Once you've done that, you're just left with half the
actual sleeping bag. You just fold that over on itself, so down the bottom
section you've still got the same two connections, so feed those through into
the bag itself to the zips. Zip that one along, just the same as what we did with
the double sleeping bag. Same thing. And you'll go to the side zip and that's
the same thing again, so feeding both of those into the zip and pulling that
zipper through. Two joins there - zipping that all the way up the side. So one of
the questions we do get asked is can we join two doubles together. The answer is
yes we can make a double double. So because the zippers are the same, you
can join two together to make one massive double-double. You can fit up to
ten family members in, get them all in together - one huge party sleeping bag.
So I'm just going to show you how to roll it up. I've just taking it off the
table and put it on the floor. Easiest way we find is to fold it into
three, so we've just folded it into three, and start rolling from the bottom end. So
while I'm rolling it I'm just keeping my knees on the bag itself, keeping the
pressure on the bag to keep it nice and compact. When you get to the end, you got
it as compact and tight as you can. Then grab the bag and pull the bag over the
side and feed it in till the bag is completely inside the cover itself. Well
thanks Dave, I was gonna do that just at the duck out to the bathroom.
Good job!
Well done!
Well now that Dave did the easy part of
putting it in the bag, once you've got it in there, you got your drawstring here
just pull that down, tighten it in, then you've got your little straps here, pull
those over the top, same on the other side, got another one here, then from
there you can just pull the compression straps up and that'll just lock the bag
in, make it a lot tighter. So the Roman Sleeping Bag comes with a 1-year
