Trying to choose the perfect sleeping bag to take on your next adventure? As the weather gets colder, having the right sleeping bag for the occasion becomes even more important. To help you pick out the right sleeping bag and get your money’s worth we’ve broken down the most important things you should consider when buying a sleeping bag.
Let’s break down the top four things to consider when you look into getting your next sleeping bag.
- 1. Temperature rating
As temperatures drop, picking a sleeping bag with the correct temperature rating for your next adventure should be the first thing you look for. With a wide range of temperature ratings, getting a sleeping bag designed for the right temperatures you’re expecting means you stay comfortable and safe on your next adventure.
- 2. Does the bag have a hood?
A great factor to stay warm as the temperature drops at night is to go for a sleeping bag with a hood. This extra layer above your head helps keep the heat in. Plus, there’s always the great added bonus of staying cosy all night long.
- 3. How secure are the zips?
Zips are one of the most important factors in keeping you warm and comfortable. If the zip on your bag isn’t secure, you may find that cool air slips in without you noticing. Another feature to watch out for is whether a zip allows your bag to be opened out flat. This may not be something you need from your sleeping bag, but it can be handy if you like using your sleeping bag as a blanket.
- 4. Does it have any additional features?
The last thing to consider when you’re comparing sleeping bags is any additional features. These can include things as simple as internal pockets, fold-out space that can be unzipped to make more room, or even how small it rolls up. All these factors can help you differentiate between different bags, and help you decide what sleeping bag is best for your next adventure.
