January 29, 2010, Newsletter Issue #171: Choosing a sleeping bag for Camping
Tip of the Week
To pick a good sleeping bag, consider these items:
1) Dead space is difficult to keep warm; give yourself a few inches at the bottom and top for stretching, but no more.
2) Gore-Tex shells don´t allow moisture to escape, so consider Dry Loft which is breathable and resists water better than most microfibers. Ripstop is the most durable nylon/polyester shell.
3) Buy down-filled bags. Good quality bags will keep th down in place when you shake it.
4) Mummy bags are the most efficient for weight and warmth. If you´re claustrophobic, the semirectangular bag is the way to go with its tapered foot, contoured hood and torso space.
Buying the right camping gear is critically important.
