Hunting for Sleeping Bag Woes

Are you frustrated with all of the confusing terms and jargon you've come across

on your search for the perfect down sleeping bag? I don't blame you - it can be a very exasperating experience to try and get a sleeping bag without understanding what all of the specific features are designed to do. However, look no further! Using this guide, you'll be able to thoroughly inspect and choose the best sleeping bag for you, just like a professional would do.

Confusing feature #1: The tag may say, "Welded baffle construction," but what it really means is the exterior of the bag was constructed without using needles. Although hard to understand at first, this feature is significant because this type of construction eliminates needle holes on the outside of the bag. The professionals know that having this makes the difference between a bag that remains completely dry on the interior and a bag that lets small amounts of water come in through needle holes, which will mean you are wet and cold.

Confusing feature #2: The tag may say, "DWR finish," but that only means the exterior fabric of the bag is specifically constructed to resist water, even longer than other ordinary fabrics used, which is important for all sleeping bags to have. This ensures that during unexpected drizzle or when waking up to morning moisture, you'll stay nice and dry instead of being wet and cold, which leaves you feeling miserable and tired for the day ahead.

Confusing feature #3: The tag says, "Chambered hood design," which only means independent tunnels of down-fill have been constructed to fit around your head. Why would you need this feature? Well, not only will it provide steady and even warmth around one of the most important parts of your body, but it will prevent your ears from getting uncomfortably cold and painful. That's without doubt something you want in your new sleeping bag!

When hunting for a new down sleeping bag, you may be frustrated, especially if you're not a pro. However, this guide should shed light on some important things for you. Don't be afraid to ask people if you're unsure about other features, as well. Even though professional climbers may seem a little scary at first, they're very nice people who know a lot about sleeping bags and are more than willing to share their knowledge with others.
