Camping destination It is important to determine the type of camping grounds or campsite that you will be heading to.
Taking into account of the terrain, temperature, climate and weather conditions are a big part in choosing your own camping sleeping bag.
Most camping bags have a designated minimum temperature at which it can continue to keep you warm.
Temperature conditions In a colder environment, the right camping equipment is very important, not only that it keeps you warm, it is essential to have good warm protection in order to prevent hypothermia.
Keeping in mind that despite the claim that it can withstand temperatures to -20 degrees, be aware that in a -20 degrees environment, this may not be entirely sufficient to keep you warm.
You will find that in this instance, having a bag liner is a good idea, as it adds between 8 to 10 degrees of warmth and comfort for you.
Materials used You will find that there are a lot of options in terms of materials used in sleeping bags.
There are the outer shell, inner lining, filling and much more that makes a difference to the quality and price of the sleeping bag.
A widely used filling is synthetic material, as it provides enough warmth and is light weight to carry around while you are on a camping adventure.
Keep an eye for the types of material used and you will be able to make a good choice for your new sleeping bag.
Another tip is to make sure that it is waterproof, it helps to protect the bag from getting soaked and keeps you warm too.
Shapes and sizes The bags come in various shapes and sizes.
This is ensure that there is a snug fit between the you and sleeping bag, as this helps to trap air inside the bag, keeping you warm for longer.
A lot of the bags will be mummy bags which taper in at the foot.
You will also find that there is more padding around the foot.
These two aspects help keep your feet warmer and is actually quite a desirable aspect in a sleeping bag.
A sleeping bag that has a hood to wrap snugly around the head is also a good choice.
These are the main points to consider when choosing your perfect sleeping bag and hopefully with it, you will find the right one in no time at all.
