Tips on choosing the right sleeping bag for you
As you shop for sleeping bags, think about
the weather conditions you’re likely to encounter while you’re camping. A bag that will keep you comfortable in different climates will be your best choice.
If you don’t plan to camp in extreme cold, a sleeping bag rated 30 degrees will probably be a good
choice. However, keep in mind that temperature ratings are more a rule
of thumb than an exact science.
In fact, no industry standard exists. Also, you will want to buy a colder-rated bag if you “sleep cold” and tend to need extra
blankets at home.

Whether you purchase a kids, rectangular, or
mummy sleeping bag depends on how you intend to use it and who will be using it. Even kids sleeping bags have different ratings and styles. When buying for a child you can also use the guidelines for rectangular and mummy bags. For
general-use family camping, rectangular bags are the most versatile.
They can be opened flat for warmer conditions or mated to form a double
bag. One of the warmest sleeping bags are mummy bags. They’re compressible
and pack up in a minimum of space.

Cover materials, liners, and insulation
materials vary depending on the temperature rating and quality of the
bag. Some feature options to consider when purchasing include:
Cover material – Nylon is lightweight. Cotton is rugged and a good choice if weight is not an issue.
|
Liner material –The most common
feature of mummy sleeping bags is nylon. It is lightweight and durable although it doesn’t feel as
warm against your skin. Cotton flannel is soft, warm, and durable. It also
feels warm against your skin on cold evenings. Cotton bi-blend (a blend of cotton & polyester) feels more like a bed sheet although it isn’t as
warm as flannel.
|
Insulation – Polyester or synthetic nylon are the most common. Price is usually a good indication of
insulation quality. Weight is also a factor. High-quality insulation
material usually provides greater warmth and insulation with less weight than
less-expensive varieties although a few extreme models may have heavier
insulation and still offer the same quality. Down bags are lightweight
and warm, but they’re more trouble to maintain than synthetics and much
more expensive for the same warmth and thickness.
|
Zippers – To protect the fabric from catching in the zipper teeth, look for zipper guards. You also want a strong nylon zipper that
slides easily and allows rectangular bags to open flat.
|
Construction – A well-made sleeping bag should
be quilted so that insulation stays in place and won’t lump up or shift
around in the bag, forming cold spots. Look for one you can launder in a
commercial washing machine.
