Sleeping Bags

Today, as it's Monday and the weather is not that great, I'm feeling a little sleepy and therefore sleeping bags might be a good place to start as I'm in the right frame of mind. In fact I could pop down to the warehouse to do some 'research' and climb into one of the down sleeping bags and steal a quick forty winks. Maybe later, anyway here at Webtogs we stock an enormous amount of sleeping from various different brands such as Marmot, Mountain Equipment, Rab, Western Mountaineering, Crux and Mountain Hardwear. Each brand has their own identity and specifications for the production of sleeping bags wether it be down or synthetic bags.

If you're just starting out and have arrived at sleeping arrangements it's okay to have a scratch your head moment for a few minutes because there's a lot to take in. Never fear though we're here to help and break it down slightly so you don't end up with the wrong sleeping bag. Nobody likes to be cold or too hot whist camping so there few tips might help.

What are sleeping bags for? To sleep in hear you say! Correct however more importantly to keep you warm from the weather. So you know all the temperature ratings and EN numbers right? Take note of these and compare them to the temperatures that you might be faced with where ever you're off to. Remember that Mother Nature has a habit of being grumpy from time to time so it might not hurt to go a little colder just in case.

Another little hint from the angel on your shoulder, if you yourself run hot or cold or prefer to be at either end of the scale then you can choose a sleeping bag to fit your needs. Just look at the ratings, it may be the difference between making a summit and nearly making a summit.
