Checklist For Sleeping Bags For Camping

Weather
  • Find out what the weather will be like at night and when you will be using the sleeping bag.
  • There are sleeping bags that will keep you warm even in sub-zero temperatures (check the manufacturer’s specifications).
Dimensions And Shape
  • There are sleeping bags that can be used like a blanket and can be joined together. This allows two people to share a sufficiently large blanket.
  • Mummy sleeping bags run close together towards the feet and therefore keep warmer than blanket sleeping bags, but also offer less freedom of movement.
  • The dimensions should of course correspond to the body size.
  • Also note the packing dimensions and weight of the sleeping bag.
Material And Filling
  • Down sleeping bags keep particularly warm, but are usually more expensive and not suitable for all allergy sufferers.
  • Wool sleeping bags also keep you nice and warm and provide good insulation from the cold, but are heavier and take up a lot of space.
  • Artificial fillings are cheaper, but keep less warm.
  • The density of the filling is given in g/m². In winter you need about 400 g/m².

Here you will find the top 8 among the best sleeping bags.
