Here are some tips and information to help you make a smart choice when selecting your own sleeping bag.
| Bag Type |

| Summer Season |

| 3-Season Bag |

| Cold Weather |

Are such ratings infallible? No. Humans all have different metabolic rates, and no industry standards exist that uniformly determine sleeping bag comfort ratings. Instead, each manufacturer assigns a rating to its bags based on its own research. Therefore, use these numbers as a guide, not a guarantee. If you have trouble deciding between two bags, it's not a bad idea to select one that offers a little more warmth than you think you might need. Many factors affect your ability to keep warm inside a sleeping bag such as pad, tent, metabolism, gender. clothing, adjustments, food and hydration.
Down or synthetic? The insulation or "fill" inside a sleeping bag largely determines a sleeping bag's weight, compressibility and durability.
Down: It offers tremendous warmth for little weight (higher "warmth-to-weight" ratio), compress to small size and outperforms synthetic insulation. If it gets wet, it is of no value until it dries. Expensive (2x or 3x of synthetic) but can be a long term value.
Synthetic: It provides some insulation when wet; plus it dries fairly quickly. It's less expensive than down. It's non-allergenic. It's bulkier and heavier than down. There are mainly three types of synthetic fiber, hollow fiber, 4-hole fiber and 7-hole fiber. 7-hole fiber offer highest "warmth-to-weight" ratio, 4-hole fiber second and hollow fiber third. No surprise, the cost on the 7-hole fiber is the highest, 4-hole fiber second and hollow fiber the third.
Down always wins in terms of weight, compressibility, warmth and durability. Yet the value and performance of synthetic bags makes them very popular. Synthetic bags are improving each new model year, and they're champs when rain is a threat or cost is a factor. Synthetic insulation is a good choice for kids and newcomers to camping and backpacking. |
