Find the ideal sleeping bag for your next adventure
Whether you’ll be camping out in a tent or just spending the night at someone’s, a good sleeping bag is essential for a good night’s sleep. Do you need help picking out the right sleeping bag? We’ll be happy to help you.
Step 1: picking the right shape
- Mummy sleeping bag: perfect if you’re spending the night in chilly conditions. This sleeping bag fits around your body snugly and you can also tuck in your head. This way, you maintain precious body heat.
- Blanket-type: perfect if you are camping in hotter climes. This sleeping bag has a looser fit and more room to move.
Step 2: picking the right filling
- Low temperatures: sleeping bag filled with down
- Warm, moist weather: synthetic sleeping bag
Tip: remember that a sleeping bag is never waterproof. If you want to sleep out under the stars, then you will need a bivouac bag.
Step 3: picking the most comfortable temperature
Women tend to get colder faster than men, so it is best that they look at the comfort range, while most men can withstand the transition range as well. Remember that your sleeping bag can only achieve the indicated temperature range when combined with a well-insulating sleeping pad.
Step 4: picking a good liner
Would you like to protect yourself from fluctuating temperatures and cold nights? Then its best to buy a good sleeping bag liner. These liners not only increase the temperature range that your sleeping bag can achieve, it will extend the life of your sleeping bag.
