3-season warmth
If you're doing anything more
than summer car camping,
such as backpacking or
sleeping in colder weather,
then a good sleeping bag is
essential. Choose here
between synthetic and
natural insulation.
ZIPPER
This bag has a two-way zipper. In
summer, your feet can often be too
hot while your torso needs
insulating. This allows you to
ventilate the bottom of the bag.
FILLING
This synthetic bag has a high-quality
polyester fiber filling, but weighs
only 2 lbs 4 oz (1 kg). It's a good
choice for situations where a bag
must be carried and might get wet,
but it is still quite bulky.
TEMPERATURE RATING
Judging how warm a bag will keep
you isn't precise. It depends partly
on your metabolism. Bag
manufacturers use a range of scales,
comparing seasons or temperatures.
This bag has been rated to 32°F (0°C),
making it appropriate for spring,
summer and fall at low altitudes.
SHAPE
Unlike a rectangular design,
this bag has been tapered to
fit snugly around the legs. You
lose some comfort but the bag
is considerably warmer.
