Winter Sleeping Bags

A winter sleeping bag is the one category where saving money can have a very cold revenge. Choose a winter sleeping bag with a comfort rating of -10 °C or below. Limit and extreme figures are not numbers to sleep at.

The rating only holds with a mat of R-value 5 or more underneath. Frozen ground steals heat faster than air. Real warmth is decided by the hood, shoulder baffle and zip draft tube. Austrian-made Carinthia bags equip units in several European countries for that reason. Synthetic fill forgives moisture and down wins on weight. For lighter autumn frosts, spring-autumn sleeping bags often suffice. The full range lives under sleeping bags.

Our team has slept in these bags on January exercises. Ask which model truly holds up at -20 °C.
