Ozark Trail 30°F Mummy Sleeping Bag (with Soft Liner)
Published · Researched 2026-09-21
Exact model: Ozark Trail 30-Degree Cold Weather Mummy Sleeping Bag with Soft Liner, 85 × 33 in, blue (also sold in camo). Not the 10°F or 40°F bags — separate ratings, separate dossiers.
Overview
The workhorse of budget car camping: a double-layer synthetic mummy bag with a soft liner, thermal collar, and compression sack, sold at Walmart for the price of a pizza. It's the bag half of America has lent to a friend at least once.

- Live US price: UNVERIFIED (2026-09-20). Historical deal $14.87 (Deals of America) is sold out and not current. A Walmart result showed "Now $39.88, was $48.44" — mixed 10F/30F listing context; treat as listing-state noise, not a verified 30F cart price.
Community Verdict (qualitative social pulse, 2026-09-20)
- Comfort rating is honest-ish at 40s: a November 2025 Walmart reviewer confirmed the 30°F bag kept kids comfortable through nights in the 40s. A two-year owner of the predecessor Climatech 30F reported comfort "down to the 30-degree range" with layering, and survived 13°F only by zipping bags together and wearing beanies + hand warmers — i.e., the 30°F label is a survival floor, not a comfort floor.
- The critical counterpoint: Summitsurfers' field test found the bag damp and cold sleeping under the stars at ~55–57°F without a tent — polyester shell doesn't wick, liner-less dampness lingers. Their verdict: fine in a tent with a liner, not an open-air cold-weather bag.
- Likes: smooth anti-snag zipper, good hood drawcord, roomy taper, easy roll-up with compression straps.
- Documented failure modes: compression straps feel flimsy (owners afraid to yank); washing can damage fill; tight for larger/broad sleepers; bulk is real at ~4.3 lb — not a backpacking bag.
Honest tradeoffs
- The 30°F number is optimistic for most sleepers. Treat it as a 40–45°F comfort bag, 30°F survival.
- Double-layer offset stitching is real construction, but synthetic fill at this price doesn't match the spec sheet of real 30°F bags.
- Machine-washable per one long-term owner, but delicate — cold wash, air dry.
