The comfort rating of a sleeping bag, given in degrees celsius, is the optimal temperature at which a user feel comfortable when sleeping in the “rolled-up” position. Baffles are the name given to the compartments in the interior of the sleeping bags, helping to ensure that the insulation remains distributed evenly. Draft collar Second vote for Cumulus. We have 350 quilts which are good for 3 seasons provided you use thermal PJs on cold (+5 to 0) nights which is fine since you will be using some PJs or liner even on a warm summer night to keep the quilt clean. Having used both quilts and bags, I settled on quilt for two reasons. First, regulating temperature is much easier with quilt and temperature varies a lot during the night. Second, the freedom of movement is much greater with quilt.
Although regular sleeping bags were once the most common and popular outdoor sleeping companion, these have been overtaken by the mummy bags. Mummy sleeping bags For couples looking to join two sleeping bags together, the two-way zip is a great option and an alternative to the double sleeping bag. Zip baffle These bags offer an impressive amount of room compared to mummy sleeping bags but are worse than the mummy sleeping bags for retaining heat. Due to this reasoning, the rectangular bags are best suited to indoor and summer camping where keeping warm is less of an issue. A long length sleeping bag is the best choice sleeping bag for those taller campers among us with a 6ft+ guideline for optimum comfort. Double sleeping bags, as the name suggests, are made for two people and typically measure 193 x 137cm.
In the past I found little difficulty with a 4 season bag in summer - I just opened the zip. (RAB 900). But it's a bit heavy and bulky. I guess I’ll never really know if my choice was 100% the best I could make, because I am only able to buy one sleeping bag (I only need one!). But, overall, I am very happy to report that I am quite content with my OEX Fathom EV 300 sleeping bag. It fits the specification I had in mind, didn’t break the bank, and has been keeping me happy at night this summer and autumn so far. As always, if my opinion changes over time I’ll be sure to let you know. The OEX Fathom EV 300 Sleeping Bag is a synthetic, fully-lined mummy-style sleeping bag that is designed to be suitable for spring through to autumn. It is rated as comfortable down to temperatures as low as 1 degree Celsius (limit -5, extreme -22), which should mean it’s good for frosty mornings in remote areas. I'll be using a tent for the foreseeable future (MSR hubba 2 person). Wanna try bivvying and try with a tarp eventually but want more solo experience first.
A typical sleeping bag comes with the dimensions of 200 x 80 x 50cm is just marginally smaller than the long length sleeping bags offering 20cm of additional length at 220 x 80 x 50cm. These are available in both regular and mummy styles, often differing from the standard sleeping bag with an (L) notation. Double sleeping bags The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Sleeping Bags. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this.Regular sleeping bags offer users a simple rectangular design with a zipper around two connecting sides. I’ve had my OEX Fathom for around six months now, but haven’t shared my review until now because the summer has been so incredibly warm. It’s a three-season sleeping bag, and as such, the first week I used it I slept on top of it rather than in it, and until the last couple of months I hadn’t zipped it up all the way. Hooray for a proper summer! The nights in September and October have been much cooler, as you might expect, and so I’ve now had opportunity to give some real consideration to my opinion. OEX Fathom EV 300 Sleeping Bag Two things I was looking for specifically were both in comparison with the sleeping bag I was replacing – I wanted it to be the same or lighter in weight, and rated a little warmer so I could more comfortably camp in spring and autumn. When choosing my bag I had the West Highland Way in mind – that was my benchmark in terms of what I needed this bag to do for me in terms of be light enough to carry and warm enough for camping in Scotland.
That got us thinking though, that we’re looking at every possible item from OEX so it would be good to narrow our search down even further and only look at OEX branded products within the Sleeping Bags category. The cost of OEX Sleeping Bags Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like OEX are of course extremely well known, especially for Sleeping Bags.Got a Klymit Insulated Static V sleeping mat with R rating 1.9. Might need to upgrade this, especially if I end up with a quilt? The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first. The extreme rating of a sleeping bag is the absolute minimum temperature limit which offers the user protection from frostbite or other temperature-related issues.
