What Makes a Good Sleeping Bag?

Sleeping bags are one of the most important pieces of camping gear that you can purchase. I have gone through my fair share of cheap ones, and found very quickly that they are simply a waste of money. I have read several times that if it makes you comfortable, keeps you warm or makes you enjoy a trip then you shouldn't skimp on it. For example, buying a cheap tent just because it is cheap is going to bite you back when it rains, because it's not going to seal properly. There is nothing worse than spending a night when you are cold and uncomfortable, and being wet makes this even worse.

The bags that you buy for sleeping in are usually rated for different temperatures, and a good one will only satisfy a set range of temperatures. I wised up several years ago and purchased a sleeping bag that was very expensive, but it's also incredibly warm. The issue though is in summer I can't use it, because it's much too hot. As a result, often you need to get more than one sleeping bag, but this comes down to how often you go camping. Some bags can be peeled apart (they have layers) to make up for this, but generally the better ones don't.

The best bags are usually made out of down, but these are very expensive. What you need to do is work out what you want the bag to do, and go from there. A good sleeping bag doesn't have to be the top quality one that costs a huge amount of money if you are only camping every now and again, and when it is warm. Good sleeping bags are generally shaped to your body, and have sealed zips. The ones with hoods ensure that you stay exceptionally warm as well.
