Sleeping Bags
Most of us have great childhood memories of heading out
into nature with our sleeping bag. Nature may have only
been the backyard or our friend's bedroom, but it still
seemed like the greatest adventure of all. Sleeping bags
used to be pretty simple - they were a sack made of warm
material - that was it. And as far as most kids were
concerned, that was enough.
Nowadays, however, technology has caught up with the
humble sleeping bag, just as it has with most things.
Technology like amazing fibers that can be squeezed into
tiny carrying bags but keep you warm in subzero degrees,
specialized bag shapes and zippers to keep out the cold,
and the list goes on. For kids, no more boring navy blue
sleeping bags - now you can choose your favorite
superhero to keep you warm at night.
As adults, a sleeping bag is a necessity if you plan to
go camping. You might have outgrown your favorite
superhero sleeping bag, but you still need some sort of
sleeping bag to keep you warm on those cold nights. Even
on warmer nights it's a good idea to have a sleeping
bag, just in case nature wants to get a little bit
closer than you'd like. Mind you, I've yet to see a
sleeping bag with a mosquito net attached.
Walking into a camping store can be quite mind-boggling.
There are so many different styles and designs of
sleeping bags, it's hard to know which one to choose.
Probably the first thing you need to decide has nothing
to do with a sleeping bag. Instead, you need to think
about where you're most likely to be camping. In a tent
or outdoors? Warm climate or sub-zero temperatures?
Once you know the type of conditions you'll be using
your sleeping bag in, you can start to look at the right
ones. For some enthusiastic campers, it may even be
necessary to own more than one sleeping bag, so that you
can choose the right one each time you go on a camping
trip. For really cold conditions, you might want to skip
the traditional rectangular sleeping bag and go for
something shaped to fit your body, such as a mummy bag.
You also need to make sure the sleeping bag fill and
material are rated sub-zero, so that you don't end up
freezing during the night.
If you're mostly a summer camper, then you will want a
looser sleeping bag, probably the old rectangular
design, with filling designed for warmer nights. Most
people, unless they're likely to be camping in extreme
conditions on a regular basis, can usually get away with
these two main types of sleeping bag.
Another thing you need to consider is how you're going
to be transporting your sleeping bag. If you plan to
drive to most of your camping spots, and can just get
your stuff out of the back of your car, then it's
probably not going to matter how compactable your
sleeping bag is, or how much it weighs. But if you do a
lot of hiking and will need to carry your sleeping bag
in your pack, these factors become vital. So again,
think about how you expect to utilize your sleeping bag
so that you can make the right choice.
Shopping for quality sleeping bags doesn't need to be a
big drama. It's probably best to stick with stores that
specialize in camping supplies, unless you really only
want a cheap, general-purpose sleeping bag. One of the
good things about shopping in outdoors stores is that
the staff are often keen on camping, and so know a lot
about what type of sleeping bag is best for different
types of conditions. So make sure you ask lots of
questions, and you'll be able to select the right
sleeping bag for your needs.
Of course, you can also shop online for sleeping bags.
Sometimes if you're looking for something highly
specific, this is the best way to go. Not all stores are
going to be able to carry every single available
sleeping bag as part of their range. So shopping online
gives you the ability to see everything that's
available. Try manufacturer sites, or check out some
customer review sites and see what other people have to
say about the sleeping bags on your shortlist.
