Better than Ruffwear

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016

I answered a "question" about this product a few days ago, but my response sort of turned into a review, so I'll go ahead and leave it here as well: This is an actual sleeping bag for a dog, with a zipper along the side, and also the bottom. It functions like a traditional human sleeping bag; when fully open it nearly doubles in size. When closed up, it's very cushy. My dog likes this better than the similarly sized (but crazy expensive) Ruffwear sleeping bag + pad...It is definitely the better buy for sure, and more durable as well. The material is very soft, water repellent, doesn't absorb backcountry dog stink, and it is very easy to wipe clean.
Two caveats to mention:
1) It is not a huge sleeping bag, therefore a 60+ pound dog may have trouble fitting in the bag. 2) It is not very compressible, and won't fit in your dog's pack. I just roll it up and strap it under my pack, where a roll-up sleeping pad would go.

Not a backpacking sleeping bag

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021

Great quality product and my pup immediately knew what to do. Very comfortable and seems to have great insulation. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 it's because it is enormous! It is NOT a backpacking bag. Will make a great option for car camping though

It's a sleeping bag - awesome, but not what I was expecting

This is great product, if i wanted s sleeping bag for my dog. It needs to say "SLEEPING BAG" in the title and/or description pretty clearly. It is high quality, and if I just wanted a pad to roll up small, this would be perfect. However, b/c it's a sleeping bag, it's too thick for rolling up and traveling lightly and easily. I had to return it, but if Helios made this in a single-ply - not a sleeping bag but a flat bed/pad to roll up, this is what I wanted.

I wish they would make a smaller one for small dogs, but this will do. Great quality, looks nice, looks warm, feels good, good color. My small dog likes it.

This is great... better than expected. Camped with my son who had a sleeping bag for his dog.... we ordered this one it is so much better. It is like a real sleeping bag. Fits our Shih Tzu perfectly. Mojo loves it, and probably wont be for just camping. High quality, well built!

It feels like it’s made out of good materials and is comparable to some of my high end human sleeping bags. My dog has very short hair so I wanted a bag on the thicker side. It feels very warm and I think it’ll work nicely. Glad I went with this brand over some of the other options.

Both my dogs were happy in their new sleeping bags. We used them around the campfire and later in the tent. They stayed warm all night (low 40s), plenty of cushion and I was surprised they didn't try to jump into Mom and Dad's sleeping bags! Both are small dogs, weigh 16 and 18 lbs. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Fantastic quality - a great find and my dog loves it

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

First off, the specifications are correct. I appreciate that information being accurate. What isn't stated that is a bonus is that the dog bed comes with a storage bag. A very nice extra.

My dog is an adult Border Terrier who weighs 18.5 pounds. He loves this sleeping bag and took to it immediately. What a great find this was for my backpacking trips with my dog. I really like the extra half-moon extension on the upper edge. This allows my dog's head to rest there while the rest of him is in the sleeping bag. Excellent design!

One thing to add - not a negative, just a fact - the zipper is actually two zippers. One down one side, and another across the bottom. While that might seem odd, for the different ways you can connect multiple units, it's actually the best design.

As a single unit, this is a great dog sleeping bag / resting pad for dogs up to about 25 lbs. Highly recommend.

Excellent product, highly recommend for cold dogs

Color: Blue, Dark GreySize: One SizeVerified Purchase

My 6 month pup gets SO cold but I was hesitant to spend over $100 on a ruffwear bag for him. I took a chance on this and am SO pleased. Not only does it keep him out of my sleeping bag at night but it’s a great mat for him to lay on around camp.
Got down into the low 40’s/high 30’s and he had curled into a ball inside it- definitely worth the weight on a backpacking trip.
For sizing, he’s about 38lbs and fits the medium but if he grows much more I might need a large (he’s skinny but long and lanky).

My dog loves this sleeping bag!

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

He is a 15 lb havanese and loves camping. He does tent and lean-to camping with me. I usually just zip the side zip and leave the head and foot open. He likes to poke his nose out of one side or the other...that's all I can usually see is his nose! He also likes to use this sleeping bag in the house. It's light and easy to pack up. I love the elastic straps and stuff sack. It has lots of great details. Thanks for making such a great bag.
