Choosing the Best Sleeping Bag for Your Trip

Choosing the best sleeping bag for your hike is a critical decision whether hiking alone, with friends or family. Quality sleep is important and staying warm is critical to health and survival. When evaluating sleeping bags for your next hike, it’s important to consider the temperature rating as well as the comfort, packability and weight. 

Benefits of a Mummy Sleeping Bag

With the weather starting to turn a little cooler, it’s important to plan ahead and know what the expected coldest temperature will be during your hike. You should err on the side of caution and choose a bag that provides at least a 10° cushion for any swing in temperature. A mummy sleeping bag keeps you warmer at night with less wiggle room that generates more body heat. 

Packability and Weight

A mummy bag provides a great balance between packability and weight. The sleeker style and less bulk make them a great choice for the weight conscience backpacker. 

Use a Sleeping Pad for Comfort

A sleeping pad is a very important part of camp bedding, providing not just an added cushion for comfort but always a layer of insulation in between yourself, your bag and the cold, hard ground.
