The OEX Fathom EV 300 Sleeping Bag is a synthetic, fully-lined mummy-style bag that's suitable for spring through to autumn, designed to keep you warmin temperatures as low as 1ºC which will cover frosty mornings in remote areas. But it's down, and with no water-repellant down treatment, so you really need to keep it dry, and be really careful that it doesn't get damp in wet weather. The benefit of this sort of shape is that they can be easily pulled tight around the head and shoulders area, reducing the amount of air escaping from the sleeping bag during the night and providing a warmer nights sleep. Pod shape sleeping bags are a fairly new concept. These sleeping bags are shaped in shaped like an oval and are designed to give the user more room to spread out inside the sleeping bag. Mummy shape sleeping bags are shaped in such a way to make you look like an Egyptian mummy! The taper from the shoulders to the feet, meaning that they follow the shape of your body, rather than being the same width from the shoulders to the feet.

Whilst they do provide more room, the compromise with these sleeping bags is that they have worse heat retention than mummy sleeping bags. They are also bulkier and heavier than both mummy and square sleeping bags.

Choosing the right sleeping bag can make all the difference to how well you sleep and enjoy your next wild camping trip. I personally can’t stand waking up feeling cold at night and will happily spend a bit more money on a warmer sleeping bag to ensure I have a good night’s sleep. I suspect the synthetic/down merits had less to to with Alba's weather and more to do with Caberfeidh's bladder. It is also the case that they are better in damp conditions as, even when wet, they still retain some of theith insulating abilities. Can I do much better than that? For context, my tent is a NatureHike Star River 2 and I'm very happy with it - so happy to go for Chinese products like that. Indeed, and I note he is in Glasgow, where the current Caberfeidh Towers loom in eldritch ruin above the River Kelvin (handy for disposal of dismembered corpses).

Perfect for three-season camping, the latest edition of the OEX Fathom EV 300 is filled with premium synthetic insulation and features a freshly updated design. These sleeping bags are also easier to keep clean as they don’t absorb water in the same way that down sleeping bags do. Klarna's Pay in 3 / Pay in 30 days are unregulated credit agreements.

You should look for a breathable material here to stop you from getting too hot and sweaty in your sleep Feather down insulation is light-weight insulation that is great at providing warmth for your sleeping bag. There are other things you can do to help keep yourself warm when camping, which I cover in this guide. Features These sleeping bags generally have a zip running down the side and bottom of the sleeping bag and can be fully opened and used more like a duvet as well as a sleeping bag.I hope you have now managed to learn a little bit more about how to chose the best sleeping bag for wild camping and discovered the sleeping bag you will be buying for your next wild camping trip. I decided to find the best sleeping bags for wild camping and couldn’t believe the number of factors that I needed to consider and the options available to me. The limit temperature is the lowest temperature at which you, when in a huddled position, would be at a thermal equilibrium, where they are neither hot nor cold. This is not the recommended temperature for the sleeping bag but can be used as a guide when considering the different ranges of the sleeping bag. Extreme Temperature These tyoes of sleeping bags are generally cheaper than down sleeping bags, as the insulation materials is much easier and cheaper to source. These sleeping bags tend to be more expensive than synthetic sleeping bags due to the expense of getting the down material.
