How To Choose Perfect Camping Sleeping Bags

09.10.2009 · Posted in Home and Garden Articles

I have to honestly say that heading out into the wild to go camping is what I love the most! All of my stress just left on the road on the way out is what it is all about. When I am out there though I want to be comfortable and to do this you need to be sure to have the right equipment for your trip. Starting with choosing the right camping sleeping bags. There are surprisingly many designs, choices and styles to consider.nnThe first and most important thing to consider is the temperature and climate you will be camping in. All good camping sleeping bags come with a temperature rating. This is a number, for example 20 degrees, which mean the sleeping bag will keep you warm and comfortable down to that temperature. Be sure to get sleeping bags with the right temperature rating or else you may end up being too hot or too cold. It is of course better to be too hot than too cold as with most camping sleeping bags you can unzip them and let some cool air in. nnThere is not much to say about zippers! Just be sure to get a camping sleeping bag with one built in, you would be crazy not too. They make your sleeping bag much more versatile and easy to adjust your temperature at night if you are too hot. On those really hot nights you can unzip it completely and lay on it! nnCamping sleeping bags are designed for many different purposes. There are light sleeping bags, double sleeping bags, kids sleeping bags, mummy sleeping bags and many more. nnLight sleeping bags are great if you plan on doing a lot of hiking with your camping gear. Nothing will ruin your hiking adventures more than having to carry a heavy pack. Having a light sleeping bag does not mean you will freeze on cold nights. Light sleeping bags can still be very insulating. They may be a little more expensive but well worth the extra bucks for the lighter load. nnDouble sleeping bags are great to add a bit of spark to your camping trip. You can snuggle up with your partner and keep extra toasty with the double body heat. You may also just love a lot of space and therefore want a double sleeping bag to spread out in. nnKids sleeping bags are great for one main reason..cartoons! Yeh those boring adult sleeping bags with plain colors are not match for Spiderman and Snow White. Best of all the kids will be climbing into them in a flash giving you a peaceful night! nnThere is more to think about when choosing camping sleeping bags then you would initially think. You should also consider the material that they are made with. Warmer ones are usually filled with down. These are usually a little more expensive but definitely worth it if you are planning to camp in cold climates. A lot of sleeping bags are made with synthetic material. Synthetic sleeping bags can either be really ****** or really technologically advanced. The difference will of course be in the price. One sure way to check the quality of a camping sleeping bag though is the fill rating. This is a score measuring how much filling there is per square inch. A higher score is better.
