Sleeping Bag Considerations

When buying a SLEEPING BAG...

CLOTHING – The clothing you wear in your sleeping bag has a large impact on how warm you are. Wearing clean and dry long underwear with socks will help you stay toasty on cool nights. On colder nights, a cap and neck gaiter will help keep body heat from radiating away.

GROUND INSULATION – A sleeping mat insulates you from the cold ground and also provides additional Comfort

THE DAYS DIET – Having something in your stomach when you hit the sack will keep you warmer. The process of digestion generates warmth. Hydration is also important too, since the food won't generate much warmth if you are dehydrated.

TENT/SHELTER – If you use a tent you'll be adding another layer or dead air space around you that will keep you warmer over all than if you slept under the stars.

METABOLISM – Everybody's metabolism is different. Some one in their teens or twenties who exercises 3 times a week will generate much more heat than your average weekend-warrior. Women's metabolism differs greatly from men's. Women require warmer sleeping bags than most men for the same external conditions because of the difference between metabolic rates.
