Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated ten degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter! Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down--synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

Good Child's Sleeping Bag,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wenger Ticino Rectangular Sleeping Bag (Sports)
Pros: The price I paid for these sleeping bags for my two children ($29.99 each) was a great value. The exterior fabric is nice and it has a great stuff bag with a carrying handle. It rolls up small and compact. The "mummy" top can be sinched up to create a hood on cold nights.
Cons: The polyester fabric on the inside is cold in cold weather. When the weather is hot, it doesn't breath, so it becomes very uncomfortable. The zip out sheet SOUNDS like a great idea, but it's very flimsy and with my children it just ends up being kicked down to the bottom of the sleeping bag. If I had it to do all over again, I would buy a sleeping bag that had a cotton interior. That is the major drawback with this bag. The fabric makes all the difference on how warm/cool you stay at night and this interior just doesn't meet the muster.

I bought it for my 13-year-old son who is 5'9" for a casual retreat his church organization is having. It is actually sized for an adult with a lot of room and chushioning. Great value.

Misleading temperature rating!,
By lw5117 (Texas, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wenger Ticino Rectangular Sleeping Bag (Sports)
This bag was claimed as 25F rating and the "linen" itself rated at 60F. That was totally unrealistic! The linen was so thin that it was hardly useful at any temperature. You wouldn't feel any difference with or without it alone. I was using the bag with the linen inside my car on a road trip. My feet started to get cold, keeping me up at only as low as 50F. That was far above 25F as claimed. I am in 40 and good health, not a "cold" person. If this bag would not work for me under 50F, it would not work for most others either. If you actually count on this bag for 25F environment, you are putting youself in great danger. Don't believe the rating! It is only good for mild temperature.
