Product Description
Whether you sleep hot or cold, the Osage River zero-degree sleeping bag will keep you comfortable on your next outing. It features a durable 210-thread-count polyester ripstop cover and lining, and is insulated with double-layered high-hollow fibers Read More
With the sketchiness of the temperature rating, how did this sleeping bag even end up on Massdrop? This is misleading junk. Take this thing down, it does not belong here.
No thx, I'll stick with my 24oz zero degree (F) quilt. But frankly, this isn't a bad price for something to have around the house, or perhaps for summer camping. The "zero" moniker is a quite a joke and a turn off from buying at any price.
A little common sense people. At no point in the description does it say what rated temperature this bag can deliver. Which is a shame for I feel Massdrop should provide a basic and fair detail of the products they sell to their customers. Essentially the name of the bag is "zero-degree". Kinda like Coke Zero must mean it's rated to zero degrees. (hint: it's not)
With that said you then look at the price, materials, and weight....this is a not a bag to use under freezing temperatures. Cool, not cold nights or cabin camping, sure. It's an affordable sleeping bag, not a mountain expedition piece.
DannyMilksAbsolutely correct. But at least I am able to provide a bit of personal data comparison on a synthetic in the same weight class, even if subjective. Meanwhile your company is still happy to push this unknown to its customers...
This is about the liners, not the sleeping bag: I'm curious about the sleeping bag claims because zero degree seems questionable but thought I'd chime in on my limited Osage River experience. My 2 teens and I have 3 of the Osage River bag LINERS we've used on every backpacking trip we've taken over the last 6 months. They aren't anything that will bring awe and wonder, they're thin polar fleece, but they've held up well and I've even used mine as a sheet for my Klymit pad. We've zipped 2 together to make a double fleece bag and they've each been washed about 8 times. The nylonish stuff sack the liners come in is a whole other thing. We have used them as stuff sacks for 2 season sleeping bags and they have double strings on them so you can wear them like a backpack for little jaunts about the forest to carry light snacks, etc, so you don't have to empty your pack for forays away from camp. Kind of a nice dual-purpose bonus. </end tangential report> :)
If it seems to be too good to be true...there's just no way. Tho perhaps _ 0° may be in celsius; the "double-layered high-hollow fibers" are probably Kapok (or straw) and the "4 Seasons" probably references someplace in temperate China....so the whole thing could, possibly, be true. It's so damn cheap, I'd almost buy one just to satisfy my curiosity....but I already have an actual 0°f Kelty from MD...
I too have questions about this. At 3.75 pounds it has to be the lightest synthetic zero degree bag on the market, and it costs 1/10 of the nearest competitor? And it's about as light as a down equivalent that is even more expensive? It's just impossible. I checked their website and couldn't see anywhere that this was EN rated (so I flagged this to our copywriter to update our specs).
On a separate note, if you check out the Amazon reviews, many look fake or incentivized.

DannyMilksGood points. I was looking over their website terms. Lots of mention of a RedsGear.com which browser opens to ozarksource.com instead. I'm not a fan of getting juggled through a maze of websites. Withdrawing my earlier product links pending clarifications. Ozark Source at least seems to have a physical address (or two) in Missouri. So, who at Massdrop vetted the company?
