Product Information

Small: 10.6in x 6.7in / 27cm x 17cm; Medium: 10.6in x 6.7in / 27cm x 17cm; Large: 10.6in x 6.7in / 27cm x 17cm Four-season sleeping bags come in a variety of types. When unzipped, standard sleeping bags are usually rectangular, allowing you more room to walk around. You may also use regular sleeping bags as a blanket. One option I was considering was getting an Alpkit Skyehigh 900 + Hunka XL + Thermarest NeoAir Xtreme + Alpkit Masson sleeping bag liner, would this work? It might seem overkill but I don't want to get cold or wet.

However, the same sleeping bag may be rated for temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. This indicates that at this temperature, the tent may provide some shelter. Regardless, you may also need to get a warmer bag. The Exped Waterbloc Pro sleeping bag is a 4-season sleeping bag designed with bivying in mind. It has 800 fill down, making it very soft and warm, with a Pertex outer shell that repels the weather. On the other hand, a two-season sleeping bag is perfect for the late spring to early fall months, providing warmth up to 5 degrees Celsius. During the late fall or mild winter evenings, the three-season sleeping bag can withstand temperatures as low as 0 degrees Celsius. Finally, the four-season sleeping bag provides protection in temperatures as low as -5 degrees Celsius on chilly winter evenings. As zips can allow for heat to escape, a good winter bag will also come with baffles along the length of the zip that seal everything in once it’s closed. A baffle will often be present around the shoulders to cinch down and tighten everything up, thereby preventing any heat from escaping through the night. Combine with a good sleep system Weighing 1,370g (3lb), the Leviathan 900 is also reasonably lightweight, considering the temperatures it is designed for. And while there are bags out there that will deliver an equivalent level of warmth at a fraction of the weight, there’s simply no beating it at this price point.

A zip baffle is a flap of cloth placed behind the zipper to keep heat from leaving the sleeping bag’s inside. On the other hand, a zippered cover conceals the zipper mechanism. This design provides a secure functionality that prevents the sipper from being undone. The zip cover also serves as an additional layer of insulation. A regular sleeping bag is appropriate for people of average height. A long sleeping bag, on the other hand, is recommended for taller persons. While standard sleeping bags can accommodate persons up to 6 feet tall, those 6 feet and above should use a long sleeping bag to prevent cramping caused by limited space. 3. What Does the Comfort Rating Indicate? The Kelty Cosmic Down 20’s is unusual in that it uses trapezoid-shaped baffles to provide insulation.

These sleeping bags taper to the feet, head, and shoulders due to their design.

Snugpak’s polyester Softie insulation has been a mainstay in the British brand’s products for over thirty years. It utilizes superfine yarns bound together with special resins to mimic the properties of natural insulation such as down. The result is a really plush feeling bag that is easily warm enough for winter camping trips. Insulation is undoubtedly one of the biggest drivers in decisions regarding winter sleeping bags. It’s what the bag is made of, after all! And ultimately, you’ve got two options: down or synthetic. Made for adventurers who won’t likely camp when it’s much below freezing, REI’s Down Time 25 has the bells and whistles to make sleeping out great, as well as a robust and verified eco story. Made from extremely light and compressible Responsible Down Standard-certified insulation that’s been treated to repel water, this bag has several distinguishing features. The person inside the sleeping bag will not feel cold or uncomfortable at this temperature. The limit rating is similar to the comfort rating, except it applies to an adult man rather than a female. The upper limit is the maximum temperature at which an adult may sleep without sweating or experiencing discomfort.

This bag is a gloriously cozy cocoon to nestle within and, with a comfort limit of -15°C (5°F), it is wonderfully toasty in all but the most Baltic conditions. However, it's limited to sub-zero use, as its elasticated expander panel allows the user to open things up, thus regulating the temperature inside. The OEX Leviathan EV 900 has an impressive comfort rating but we wouldn’t recommend bivying in it (Image credit: Craig Taylor) During warmer weather, a 4 season sleeping bag can still be used, especially the more expensive options on the market which typically offer superior breathability, making your nights more comfortable and enjoyable. Moreover, you get to enjoy optimal airflow, which can help combat the heat via ventilation to keep you cool if you’re burning up.
