How to select a sleeping bag

02/02/10

Selecting a sleeping bag is not an easy task. Temperatures drop at night more than most people expect, even in the middle of sumer so you should make sure you're prepared. The best sleeping bag is one which allows moisture to escape while keeping warm air trapped.

Temperature ratings should be taken as a general rule, remember, temperatures can drop below zero in spring, particularly at higher altitudes so you should follow specific directions of the manufacturer. The amount of heating that different people will need can vary widely, with some people requiring more warmth than others.

You may also want to look out for a bag with a 2 way zip so you can stick your feet out the bottom. Double sleeping bags are also available and singles that join together to form a double. Insulated zips are also important if it gets very cold. A good ground mat is also an essential. They are only cheap and provide excellent insulation.
