All down lands on a sort of continuum of efficiency that measures how much loft the fibers have. This “fill power” is measured by filling a cylinder with one ounce of down and taking its weight, landing it somewhere on a scale that typically runs from 600 all the way to 900 for premium goose downs. The North Face The One, uses a high-quality 800 fill weight down.

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2– Another great tent I own. Slightly more room if I’m going to be sharing it with someone else.Slipping into the Trail Lite Down, our tester remarked that “this is how every sleeping bag should fit,” and we’ve got to agree with them. This bag sports a more roomy cut than a traditional mummy bag, with extended width at the hips and knees to ensure that even side sleepers can have a comfortable night’s sleep. Staying local there’s no need to commit to bivvying before knowing the weather forecast. A mild and dry evening is perfect for a spontaneous adventure. It also makes it easier to navigate the etiquette of bivvying, essentially being as unobtrusive as possible. Arriving late and leaving early gives you the night but causes minimal disturbance to others. First, the pad options. From a simple 1.5” air mattress to a plush horizontal-cored foam pad, you can choose the level of comfort you’re looking for in your set-up. In the Core Bed 25° + Base Mattress version, you’ll be sleeping on the more minimal choice, which we found to be sufficient for overnight trips.

We offer single and double sleeping bags in various colours and seasons. You’ll find 1 season sleeping bags for temperatures above 10°C, 2 season sleeping bags for temperatures above 5°C and 3 season sleeping bags for chilly nights when temperatures reach above 0°C. For those exceptionally colder nights, you may wish to consider investing in the snug insulation of our 5 season winter sleeping bags.

Whatever kind of outdoor adventurer you might be, you’ll need a good quality and comfortable sleeping bag in which you can relax and enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

Repair Kit– Miscellaneous repair gear with 50 feet of paracord, sleeping pad puncture kit, Tenacious Tape, safety pins, zip-ties, sewing kit, etc.

Adaptability is the name of the game with the Yawn Patrol, which sports three separate zippers (a half-length side, full-length side, and footbox zip) to better control your entry/exit and venting options. The footbox zip itself is worthy of high praise, and during testing, we found it equally useful in airing out our tootsies overnight as it was in converting the bag to a mobile cocoon. What is lighter than a tent? No tent! For many tours you don’t necessarily need a tent. Not even if you decide to spend the night in the great outdoors rather than in some sort of permanent accomodation. Especially in areas with little rainfall and warm temperatures, this can save a lot of weight on camping equipment. A good compromise solution here can be to take along a tarp. These tarpaulins can be stretched between trees, set up using walking poles or fixed into the landscape in some other way to offer, generally, quite sufficient protection from the weather. What makes a women’s sleeping bag different? Generally, they are slightly warmer and smaller. So regardless of gender, if you are shorter in stature or tend to be cold when sleeping, a women’s-specific bag could be a good choice. A bag like the Sea to Summit Altitude is shaped specifically with more space in the hips, as well as additional insulation in key spots to ensure folks with small frames stay toasty warm all night. Extra Features Compared to other rectangle-shaped bags we’ve tested, like the ALPS Redwood, there isn’t much difference to write home about, however, we did miss the cinch cord that the Redwood has over this L.L.Bean bag. Being able to close up the Redwood on cooler nights kept us warmer overall, and this means the L.L.Bean bag will likely only come out on more fair-weather trips.Down sleeping bags are warmer with less weight, but also more expensive. Synthetic bags weigh a bit more, but are more affordable. For extreme cold weather conditions (under 0 degrees F), layering two sleeping bags is ideal. We tested the 25-degree bag, and it lived up to its temperature rating. The “oversized” draft collar and draft tube kept our tester wonderfully warm on a 28-degree night with some windchill. With its relaxed mummy shape, there is even enough room in this bag to make side sleeping possible. Smartwool Merino 150 Top& Smartwool Merino 150 Pants– I always bring one pair of thermals to sleep in, or wear under my clothes in cold weather. Mid-Layers

Short-strand synthetics use shorter fibers to up the density of their fills and create warmth similar to the way that down does. These materials can shift around with time, and create cold spots. Continuous fiber synthetics get around this by using much longer filaments, woven into themselves to make a stronger and more durable material. While it isn’t the roomiest sleeping bag, it functions and feels like many mummy bags on the market. Because the 40-degree bag sits on the outside when combined with the 20-degree bag, it offers a little more shoulder room. And although operating the zippers can be a little confusing the first time, sleepers will likely eventually figure out how the system works. Nemo Sonic Down 0F/-18C– A fantastic winter mummy sleeping bag for staying warm in very cold conditions. They also make a -20F version. Evernew Hydration Bags– Lightweight and fold-able water bladders that screw into the Sawyer Mini, plus they can stand on their own. Sawyer Mini Water Filter– Tiny water filter. With the included straw, I can drink dirty water out of my Nalgene, or attach directly to a water bag (below).Short, long-wide, and everything in between, we were stoked about the number of size options on the new Trailmade. Too often in the past were folks pressed into purchasing a bag that feels like it wasn’t made for them. No longer: the Trailmade is made for us.
