TrailMaxOutfitters Supply Zippered Cavalry Bedroll

Keep in mind this is a cavalry bedroll (think horses), not a backpackers bedroll.Yes it can be rolled up tight and relatively small, but it is not in my opinion suitable for backpacking. I use it as a standard for my Bushcrafting adventures and dispersed camping, but I don't have to carry it for miles.It is meant to keep the elements out and my sleep system inside it dry, it does that very well. I have used a wool blanket, an over quilt, a blanket with my over quilt, and a 0 degree sleeping bag as the weather has gotten colder here in Minnesota. It worked well with them all.The flannel lining does a great job holding my sleep pad. FYI: the pad has to be slipped in from the bottom, so you will need to unzip both sides, pull it all the way open, inflate your sleep pad and slide it in. it isn't always convenient, just be aware. I would also recommend a rectangular sleeping pad not a pad for a mummy bag. you have lots of space in it and room for your legs to slip off the pad or room for the pad to angle, leaving you cold on the ground.The zippers are sturdy as is the fabric and all stitching, the head flap can be brought down over your head which is pretty much inside the bag already unless you are nearly 7 feet tall.If that is what you are looking for then this is a great Bedroll.

For spending 234$ on this I didn’t expect the canvas to tear away from the nylon straps when tightening it up. So be very gentle when trying to secure the canvas cover when rolling it up. Very disappointing.

Lots of room inside for a sleeping pad that came with Coleman cot, sleeping bag rated 35 degrees, packable blanket, mylar tarp, and heating blanket. Even tho my sleeping bag is rated to keep me alive at 35 and not comfortable the bedroll pushes the comfort of my sleeping bag into the upper 20s. I started sleeping without a heater at night and just crawl inside this bedroll. Now my wife wants one and likes how it keeps everything together and easy to pack. Only disadvantage it does take room when you transport in your vehicle love how it matches our springbar tent too. Maybe a double sided zipper would help to unzip from the inside but does have a large rubber tab to help with that. Still experimenting with different sleep system setups like use of a wool blanket but the bedroll is a definite camp essential.

I ordered another by mistake but it’s not going back. I like it so much. I got a bed roll and sleeping bag too. It was a great buy.

Excellent design, but made in China
