A Few Things to Consider Before Buying a Sleeping Bag & Sleeping Pad
A sleeping bag and a sleeping pad can be two of the most important items in any camper’s collection of gear. As such, a camper should do some careful research before buying either. Here are a few pointers. What to Look For in a Sleeping Bag When looking for a sleeping bag, a camper should consider the following: The Size of the Sleeping Bag This might be a bit of a no-brainer, but it is probably still worth mentioning: A sleeping bag should be big enough for its owner to fit inside comfortably. If a bag cannot cover a camper’s shoulders and chest, it can be much harder for them to get any sleep at night. The Shape of the Sleeping Bag On a related note, the design of a sleeping bag and camping sleeping pad should allow a camper to move with minimal loss of warmth and comfort. A good sleeping bag might have such features as flexible baffles, which keep the bag’s insulation close to the camper’s body but still lets them turn and move their limbs easily.
