1844 Helko Werk Handmade Waxed Canvas Cowboy Bedroll - Camping Bed Roll with Leather Straps and Zipper - Waterproof Waxed Canvas Portable Bed - Packable Sleeping Bag (Bedroll Olive) #F8761O

This is a really nice canvas bag. There's a zipper on both sides so you can blow it wide open if you want or if you prefer getting in from one side or the other. It seams to have some waterproofing going on, but only enough to keep mist from soaking through. Any real rain would still be terrible. I'm 6ft 6in and 365lbs and still have room to toss in with blankets. It'll be colder than most sleeping beds and It'll be heavier than many of them. But I find a canvas bag more comfortable to sleep in as it doesn't clump up or restrict movement the way a nylon or nylon based material bag will. And it's big enough that if you really want to go out when it's really cold, you can always sleep in layers or with more blankets. Making these canvas bags a better fit for your sleep temperature. I personally like being a bit cool when I sleep and don't have the versatility in weather in a nylon bag as I do in canvas as the bulk of them are "rated for 30°-40°F" or colder as there's a lot of bulk in built-in insulation part of a nylon bag. This really is a better alternative.

This product is very nice...and, it's cool. Time will tell if it's "cool" enough to justify the money. This product will probably outlast me. Maybe I can will it to my kids? As you might imagine, it's heavy, it's very stiff, but you could put it on, stand under a waterfall and probably stay dry.

This is now a permanent part of my setup for fire camps. I read other reviews and put a blanket in it; right now there is a heavy wool blanket folded in half and a smaller camp blanket. I never actually had to get into the wool blanket, just slept under the camp blanket. The layer of canvas definitely holds warmth in and also keeps a small blanket from falling off of you. It's pleasantly wide and much more comfortable than a standard sleeping bag. There is a zipper on each side so it's easy to put your blankets in and get in and out of.

This is a quality bedroll, with several notable features. When paired with a wool blanket, it provides an exceedingly functional slumber system, without the need for a tent or other shelter. The waxed canvas material is moisture repellent and helps to insulate against cold temperatures. With a high quality zipper and rain fly along the side, it eliminates insects and other undesirables from sneaking inside. Finally, it has a zippered pocket at the top for creating a pillow from suitable stuffing material. My only criticism is the cost. At close to $400, it does require one to give greater consideration to build quality and features, Once evaluated on those traits, it is a worthy investment.

I see a few reviews complaining that this is old tech... Don't buy something and then complain that it's exactly what it claims to be. For what it is, this is good kit. Not cheap, not technologically advanced, definitely not light, and very stiff due to the wax treatment, but good, durable kit. Just be aware that the bedroll in and of itself will not replace your entire tent, sleeping bag, groundcloth, and sleeping pad - you'll need a few wool blankets for that. If you buy the blanket AND bedroll, it'll work well enough for summer camping. I'd still throw a more modern sleeping pad in there for comfort, and a tarp to use as a rain fly. The bedroll straps have a lot of extra length in them, specifically so you can roll a blanket or two in the bedroll. If you're going to be going old school in fall or winter, there is no such thing as too many wool blankets.

Items were well made. Pricy and I hope it lives to its quality & price.

The thickness is perfect for durability and ease of packing. The design is great for folding in different ways depending on your pack room. Its comfortable on its own, but i bought a second blanket for more padding on tougher ground. Its the perfect size for one person.

Simply the best quality bedroll you can buy. Helko Werk products are top shelf in every respect. You definitely get what you pay for with this example so if you want the best, Helko Werk is the only way to go.
