- Good backing is essential for determining the comfort. When you lie down with the weight of the body squeezed insulating layer sleeping bags, and therefore require additional layer between the bag and the cold ground
- Sometimes it is better to pack a sleeping bag to save slightly more, as it may be easier to spread things around the bag
- If the sleeping bag is used more often, it is wise to use an additional sheet (sleeping bag for the huts). You are so much facilitate cleaning, especially if woolliness.
CLEANING
When cleaning the sleeping bag is necessary to take into account the manufacturer's instructions.
The synthetic principle can be machine washed at 40 ° C (preferably when the capacity of the machine is less than 7kg). Special cleaners (or soap) is a better selection as detergents. You can also use drier in the minimum temperature setting.
For woolliness bags is required to use special cleaning agents, if possible it is advisable to wash the cleaning service (if qualified). Instead of washing machine is better to use the home as the tub.

Filling of sleeping bags has a decisive impact on the weight, volume and durability of sleeping bags. Valid through it down for example, but the decision is not so simple. The choice depends on the purpose and place of use, as well as money, we're willing to pay for the purchase. Synthetics are cheaper, less sensitive to moisture, making it easier to maintain. Down is more expensive, warmer and lighter, but sensitive to moisture and therefore more suitable for a dry cold.
DOWN
Goose down is simply the best thermal material that is available. It is easy, has willing to compression and is incredibly warm. As such, the first choice of many alpinists, avanturists and hikers in general. Properly maintained woolliness sleeping bag is very durable product and will be long maintained excellent properties.
Note:
- When moistened, do not take effect until it is dry - this may take a long time .- It is quite expensive (but is very durable)
TYPES OF DOWN
Down sleeping bags are not always the same. This is necessary to know even before the purchase to verify the identity of the down. In principle, the higher the number, the better the heat shields.
So please, for example, the label says 80/20, how much is down pure, and how many skeleton in each feather. The ratio of 90/10 is certainly better than 70/30. Label "cuin" states less flexibility . We know that we do not heat down, but air space, which creates down around us. More flexible down is, the more space and better insulation we have. Thus, for example, cuin 600 is better than cuin 400.
Synthetic fibers
Synthetic fibers are heated even when wet, so this is an excellent sleeping bag in areas where the humidity is increased. Hiking and trekking areas where rain water means the elimination of the activity, such bags are the logical choice.
Synthetic materials are basically plastic fibers. Often they are long fibers that are hollow in order to reduce the weight and the ability to catch more air.

In the mountains, on treking, traveling or at sea, sleeping bag has a strong impact on the final feeling of the event. Sleeping bags are very diverse and the lying is not always the same lying, it is necessary prior to the purchase to consider the use of anticipation.
Before buying
Think about this before purchasing:
- Temperature levels (comfort). "Comfort" value must meet the minimum night temperature in which we intend to sleep (you can add some security degree). If we are a more "frozen" type, then the preferred value for a few degrees lower than expected
- Convenience. If the bag does not feel comfortable even when we test it, is certainly not the kind we want to have when in nature.
- Loading - DOWN or synthetic. Sleeping bags are filled with woolliness easier (in the same weight as more warm). It also pressed more and more permanent. Synthetic bags also heated wet, dry faster and more easily cleaned. In the same temperature levels cost less than filled with down.
- A form of sleeping bags is essential. Bags in the form of isolated Mummy are the best and therefore ideal for cooler conditions and high altitude use, the rectangular shape, however, offer more space to change position, but less isolated
- Weight
- Volume, when compressed
- Personal feelings (like us cold ...)
