How to choose the best sleeping bag for winter?

January and February are the months when weather conditions can really give you a hard time. Especially if you are in the field. It does not matter if you are walking along a mountain trail or walking along forest roads. When it comes to sleeping in the open, there is no need to joke. Good preparation and a strong psyche are what counts. That is why it is so important to choose the right sleeping bag for winter accommodation. Such a purchase should be very well thought out. Each organism is different, so it's the details that count. Choose the best winter sleeping bag from Milworld.pl!

In this article you will find information about:

• what to look for when buying,
• how to choose the right temperature range of a sleeping bag,
• what details have the greatest impact on your sleep comfort.

Pay attention to this!

The first question you need to ask yourself is where you will use the sleeping bag. It's about terrain, of course. Will there be conditions where the humidity and precipitation are frequent, or rather they are dry rocky areas? If wetness is more common, consider a synthetic sleeping bag. It dries quickly and is resistant to moisture.

If you are planning accommodation in hostels that you encounter along the way, then buying a winter sleeping bag is pointless. All because it's warm enough there. When you add a winter sleeping bag to it, you can simply overheat your body.

Also, remember that you will carry a backpack with you when traveling. If you want to save space in your backpack and you want the sleeping bag to be light, go for the fluff. Thanks to its characteristic structure, you can make the down sleeping bag much smaller. As a result, it will take up much less space in a backpack than a synthetic sleeping bag.

Select the optimal temperature range

In order for your accommodation to be comfortable in winter conditions, you need to pay attention to the temperature ranges specified by the manufacturer. Usually these are 4 or 3 values. The most important is the limit temperature (T limit) and the comfort temperature (T comfort). The limit and comfort temperature indicates the conditions under which you can count on a comfortable sleep.

Other indicators are the extreme temperature (T extreme) and the upper comfort limit temperature (T max). However, it is not worth paying too much attention to these values as they show extremes. If you are aware that in certain weather conditions your body may be exposed to cold, then simply do not spend the night in the field! As for the upper limit of comfort, in winter it is unlikely that the body will overheat at night.

Details are the most important

In addition to all the above-mentioned issues, other smaller components are also important, which in turn will contribute to a good night's sleep. Pay attention to the shape of the sleeping bag. Standard models are in the form of an envelope or a mummy. It all depends on whether you prefer to be more wrapped (mummy) or prefer more space for yourself (envelope). Take a look if the chosen one has a hood - it will also make you much warmer. It's good when the sleeping bag has a thermal strip. It is sewn in the area of the zipper. Its task is to protect against cold in the most sensitive place, i.e. along the zipper.
