Hiking - Backpacking Sleeping Bags

When choosing the best sleeping bags suitable for the lightweight backpackers, we decided on the western mountaineering highlite. The highlite weighs in at 16oz/1lbs

The down fill highlite will keep a person comfortable and warm down to 35F degrees and packs a punch for lightweight summer backpacking.

Everything about the Western Mountaineering Highlite is geared towards reducing weight and compressibility.

The highlite has an efficient cut that reduces bulk and weight, but also reduces excess internal room to assist with quick heating, although some prefer more room for movement.

This is reasonably priced at $260.00 - $280.00 for a top of the range sleeping bag. Unfortunately we were unable to find a direct link to this sleeping bag although moosejaw is a store that stocks this bag. To check out more information, see Moosejaw.com .

When researching the best winter sleeping bag we had many options to choose from, that had various advantages and disadvantages. We decided on the Marmot Lithium +0, although not cheap at approximately $480, it is everything a winter bag should be for backpacking.

This Marmot weighs 2lb 15 oz which was the first reason for choosing this bag, as that's pretty light in comparison to others. Consumers agree it's a bag that stays toasty down to the advertisers +0 limit, and packs well to a football size.

The full length zipper provides ease of getting in and out of the bag, but has had some complaints about getting caught, although most agree it is not an issue compared to the benefits from this bag.

Quality heat retention is provided from the well designed draft collar and zipper tubes, that prevents heat loss.

Altrec Outdoors is a trusted store to find out more details about the Marmot Lithium sleeping bag.

Camping Sleeping Bag Reviews - Recreational/Base Camp

This is our best sleeping bags choice for the recreational campers, and those that have a base camp whilst out on outdoor adventures.

We chose the Marmot Trestles Semi Rec 20F Degree Sleeping Bag for those that wish to have the extra room. This camping sleeping bag is semi-rectangle that provides more room than a full mummy style bag, and uses synthetic materials that are easier to dry if they become wet or damp.

Dual zippers provide easy access and the extra layer of Spirafil synthetic insulation covers an overlapping wave of insulation shingles, eliminating heat escape whilst making it very difficult for moisture to work its way inside.

Its priced at an affordable $100, weighs 4lb 4oz and has a temperature rating of 20F, although using this bag well above the 20F is advisable.

Users have complained about not staying warm enough, and zipper complaints. However when searching for the best sleeping bags, spending less will not get the best bag on the market and issue's will arise.

There are many kids sleeping bags to choose from, but many are really made to provide fun for kids sleeping indoors or playing outdoors.

We liked the Eureka Grasshopper Kids 30-Degree Sleeping Bag, that's affordable and sleeps a child from about age 3 - 8 dependent of height. This is rated for sleeping in temperatures of no less than 30 F, although to be safe, maybe go above 40 F. To be used for summer weather camping or mild spring and fall conditions, but not for testing against the worser elements.

An inner stash pocket is a handy feature for keeping a kids favourite teddy inside. The length of the Eureka Grasshopper is 66 inches and width 18 inches.

There are a few good sleeping bag reviews to be given for the best rated bag for a women, but overall we found the Marmot Women's Angel Fire 15 Degree Sleeping Bag, top notch.

This Marmot provides great insulation in areas of increased heat loss, whilst its durable construction and high quality down make's it a reliable, all-purpose, great three-season bag.

This bag also has the classic trapezoidal foot box that allows the down to loft fully around the feet, and has a down filled collar with an easy access draw cord. The stuff sack for storage is also included.
