Coleman Adds Autumn Trails Sleeping Bags to Line

Dedicated hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts take every opportunity to show their personal affinity for the outdoors. With new Coleman® Autumn Trails™ sleeping bags, outdoor enthusiasts can wrap themselves in a sleeping bag that reflects their interests, whether they are camping in the backcountry, staying in a hunting camp or making a bivouac.

Featuring printed interior fabric that depicts trophy whitetail deer, magnificent wild turkeys, ducks on the wing and flushing pheasants, these sleeping bags are as atheistically pleasing as they are warm and comfortable. Built with five pounds of Coletherm® insulation inside a 100 percent cotton cover and a cozy flannel liner, these sleeping bags have a 20F degree temperature rating, which makes them an ideal three-season bag for most and a year-round bag for some.

Coleman’s Fiberlock™ technology keeps insulation from shifting to ensure a longer life and uniform warmth. Zipper Glide™ tailoring allows the zipper to be easily used without hanging up or snagging on fabric. The Autumn Series sleeping bags are also easy to roll up and store; they come with an attached carrier and tie system for convenience.
