SLEEPING BAGS

About the sleeping bags

Being comfortable and warm at night is crucial for the enjoyment of the outdoors, so a good sleeping bag is a vital piece of camping equipment. It is difficult to appreciate a beautiful sunrise when he has spent most of the night shivering in an inappropriate bag. So here are some tips on how to help choose a sleeping bag.

First Instead, a sleeping bag should keep you warm. The filled sleeping bag is important here, but so is design. The closer a bag installation sleep, the heater will be what the best way is a hole (or mummy style sleeping bag.) An adjustable hood sleeping bag is also necessary, both heat is lost head. However, for convenience, you also need a sleeping bag can stretch and curl up in a place that feels like a straitjacket. The big decision is reached is about the filling. There are three options: waterfowl down, polyester fiberfill and battery. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Down Vs Bags Bags Synthetic sleeping

Down sleeping bags are the best weight / warmth for, smaller packages and long-term, but loses all the heat when wet, is slow in dry, hard to clean and is quite expensive. Polyester sleeping bags using materials such as Hollowfil, and Polarguard Quallofil are fast drying, resistant to moisture and a reasonable price, but bulkier and heavier than down for warmth and are equivalent to shorter life. Of Hair fiber is warm when wet, fast drying, durable and inexpensive, but bulky and heavy once again down to the heat equivalent.

When weight is critical, below is the best option for short trips or camping-car, polyester is suitable, while for snowholing bivouacing or in your bag is probable that wet, stack worth considering. Whatever the filling, sleeping bags come in various weights to the season or the temperature rating. Be careful, these are only guidelines. cold sleepers may be needed "extra season to ensure a warm night, while warm may be able to get with a lighter bag than suggested in the season. You can of course stretch the warmth "of a bag with the use of clothing in it, using a liner sleeping bag and sleeping bags all grow best when used with an insulating layer underneath. Sleeping bags are manufactured by most major manufacturers outdoor: Snugpak, Cumulus sleeping bags, Mountain Equipment, RAB and The North Face.

Season Sleeping Bag Rating

This indicates roughly what time of year, the sleeping bag can be conveniently used. However, the number of the season can not be too specific as cold tolerance varies from person to person.

1 season sleeping bag - use in summer

2 season sleeping bag - the use of end spring to early autumn

3 season sleeping bag - through the spring, summer and autumn

4 season sleeping bag - use low throughout the year

This refers to general use, no use of high mountains, level, ie four season sleeping bags are sometimes not suitable for winter expeditions.

Dream Bag Materials

Padding: The objective is to trap air and prevent their movement. The air is warmed by the body and because it preserves all around you, provides the heat necessary to keep you comfortable while you sleep.

Sleeping bags: it is in the nature is still the best sleeping bag insulation. It is light, with excellent loft (Lint up well to trap air) and is extremely compressible to give a small package size. Below is excellent "drape" properties, settling around the body and eliminate the gaps that sometimes drafty left stiffer synthetics. However, below is a poor performance when wet, unlike some polyester fibers that resist moisture well. Down sleeping bags also tend to be more expensive.

Synthetic bags: Heavier, bulkier and with a much shorter life span that down, but cheaper, easier to clean and the best choice for wet conditions which still offers reasonable insulation. Synthetic fillers are composed of polyester fibers different construction. The most common is "hollowfibre" when short fibers with a hollow center tube to trap the air, giving good insulation properties and weight reduction.

"Kontrol", the UK manufacturer John Cotton is a recent innovation giving small pack size but high capacity lofts for sleeping bags. Note: The weight of filling in a sleeping bag is not an accurate indicator of thermal performance the quality of the fillings vary. A sleeping bag filling quality may cost a little more but gives more warmth to weight ratio.

Shell Fabric: These have filled sleeping bags in place. Armor near abroad helps repel water and wind penetration, and keep filling in. Probably the tissue used today is a lightweight nylon that also offers low bulk. In some cases, this is Ripstop abroad. This means that incorporates a strengthening fiber mesh to prevent tearing and, due to the higher force cattle, a lighter material can be used. Some of nylon shell sleeping bag is covered with water to make stronger, but allowing the body to "breath." 'Fabric Pertex' does too. In addition, body moisture away to keep you dry.

From time to time the cotton is used as a coating, as this is very comfortable for sleeping, but the penalty is extra weight and thickness and is slower to dry. In some pockets, a metallic layer is incorporated between the filling and the shell to reflect back body heat. This can improve the performance of a stock up to 15%.

Construction Sleeping Bag

There are several methods to keep the filling in place.

Sewn Through Bags: Quilting keeps the filling in channels and speakers. However, you get cold spots along the lines of stitching so this method is not suitable for cold weather bags.

Double Layer Displacement: As above but with two layers. The reduction of padding helps eliminate the problem of cold spots in your sleeping bag.

Profile: there is no point A 'to' building that produces 30% extra loft. special resins allow insulation fibers to remain within the sleeping bag without the need of quilting. This means no seam lines, and therefore no cold spots.

Sleeping Bag Features

Sleeping Bag Zips: allow easy access and, like all our zippers are of the "two-way" type, there is an option to open the bottom of the bag for ventilation on warm evenings provide greater flexibility in the classification of higher temperature. As a postcard creates a cold spot, they all have a postal deflector - insulation tube supports the rack and make sure to stay in the hot interior. All our bags are available with zipper on the left or right hand zips. If you want to zip two bags together, get one of each. Otherwise, we recommend a zip left hand for right hand users and a postcard on the right for left hand users. Our zippers are anti-lock function to avoid "capture" confuse any edge or purse.

Bag Dream Bells: All our sleeping bags have adapted bells adjusted cord.

Neck Screens: The isolation collar is in most of our sleeping bags. A cord makes this perfectly around you that ensures that no cold air flow from the back of the neck.

Foot Box: In this case, the upright section created by a circular piece of tissue isolated, creating a mummy "shape that gives plenty of room for feet.

Stuff Sacks Sleeping Bag: Most come sleeping bag stuff sack for easy transport. Most feature compression straps to reduce pack size.

IMPORTANT: Storage

When not in use, your sleeping bag should be stored in bulk. Continuous compression is bad for the landfill and reduce the life of your sleeping bag. Cumulus bags pen are sold with a storage bag and a compression sack.
