A Suitable Sleeping Bag?

Before selecting sleeping a sleeping bag for your next outdoor adventure, be sure to factor in your destination. A standard rectangular sleeping bag will suffice for most camping trips at this time of year. However, if you’re planning to spend a few days in the mountains you’ll need some extra insulation.

In high-altitude camping situations, a standard sleeping bag might not cut the mustard. Mummy sleeping bags are specially designed to provide top-notch insulation and comfort. These sleeping bags are named for their distinctive shape, which is reminiscent of Egyptian royalty. Along with their tapered design, mummy bags are distinguished by their hood feature, which retains vital heat in the head area.
