All about:
Choosing your sleeping bag
Sleeping bag manufacturers classify their products according to their thermal performance. Whether ultra-light for summer, down-filled and lined for cooler nights, you'll want to choose a sleeping bag that's adapted to the weather at your vacation destination. For hiking, you'll also want to take into account the sleeping bag's compressibility and weight. This is where the down sleeping bag has proved its worth. The synthetic sleeping bag, generally heavier, is ideally suited to damp environments.
