What size and temperature rating should I get for my Z-Top Sleeping Bag?

Choosing the Right Fit:


Size and Temperature Rating:

  • Size Regular (36 x 90 in) will comfortably accommodate campers up to 6 ft tall, and 225 lbs.
  • Size XLT (40 x 95 in) will comfortably accommodate sleepers up to 6’6” tall and 300 lbs. Consider sizing up if you prefer a roomy bag.


Temperature Guide:


Kodiak Canvas did not invent the universal temperature ratings, and admittedly they are a little confusing. What Z Top sleeping bag temperature rating is best for you? Everyone’s metabolism is different. There could be two people sleeping in the same conditions, and one would be freezing, and the other too warm. You know if you tend to be on the warm side, or the cold side—adjust accordingly. The guide below is helpful in selecting a Z Top sleeping bag with the right temperature rating.

  • Warm Nights (> 70° F): A Booster Quit to cover up may be all you need.
  • Cool Nights (45 to 65°F): +20° Z Top.
  • Cold Nights (30 to 50°F): +20° Z Top with Booster Quilt or 0° Z Top
  • Freezing Cold Nights (-5 to 30°F): +20° Z Top with Booster Quilt, 0° Z Top, or 0° with Booster Quilt.
