It works well as an additional layer to push the limits of your three season sleeping bag further into thecolder seasons. It fits well inside any of our bottom zipper or side zipper sleeping bags, quilts, and mummy bags.

FAQs

What is considered an ultra light sleeping bag? ›

How light should my sleeping bag be? ›

You'll also want to look at it from a safety point of view. The AAP recommends against using loose blankets in your child's crib for the first year. With this in mind, many parents tend to use sleep sacks up at least until their child's first birthday and some use it well into toddlerhood.

How warm of a sleeping bag do I need? ›

Why are women's sleeping bags heavier? ›

The biggest difference between men's and women's models is the amount of insulation used — which also explains the difference in weight and compressed sizes.

Is 1.2 kg heavy for a sleeping bag? ›

Look for a sleeping bag that weighs under a kilo (2.2lbs) for a summer sleeping bag, and under 600g (1.3lbs) if you are really serious about shedding weight. If you are looking for a year-round sleeping bag that's suitable for a variety of temperatures, then anything up to about 1.5kg (3.3lbs) will suit you perfectly.

What size sleeping bag should I get based on height? ›

Sleeping bags are sized by their length, and though this may seem obvious, the correct length for your bag should correlate with your height. For example, if you're 6 feet tall, you should be sleeping in roughly the same length bag. However, don't think that a 6-foot sleeping bag should fit like a latex glove.

Is it better to have a left or right zip sleeping bag? ›

A good time to wash your bag is before you store it at the end of the season or for an extended period of time.

Can you sleep in a sleeping bag outside? ›

Sleeping bags are an essential piece of gear for enjoying a night outdoors. Down and synthetic insulation are the most common fill you'll find in sleeping bags, and each provides varying levels of warmth, protection from damp conditions and comfort while sleeping.

Should sleeping bags be hung? ›
